I love my keurig and it's the most used appliance in our house, but I've become immune to the donut k-cups I've been drinking.
Any suggestions on something stronger?

My keurig sits in the closet. Only way I could get strong enough coffee was to use only the first half of the drip and pull the cup out. Rest was like tea and a waste. No matter what it was always a little stale if taste too.I love my keurig and it's the most used appliance in our house, but I've become immune to the donut k-cups I've been drinking.

Jura.
I googled thatJura.
The wife and I just switched from a Nespresso to a super automatic. I was torn between a Jura machine and the Gaggia... Happy so far with the Gaggia, and my espresso consumption has easily doubled!
Damn automatics are too easy! Maybe a La Pavoni would have been healthier.
Going to make some now.
Coffee's my bitch now!
Enjoy!Chantry. Thursday, 8/31 rolling 6:30am from the upper lot.
2 loops of UWC -LWC or...?
My maker died recently. About 30 years, and it was free from Gevalia, so I can't complain.
I started looking into what is the high rated maker currently. The cups aren't for me.
I learned the importance of the proper temp, blooming, filter paper, etc.
I went into it expecting a Mr Coffee, but changed my mind.
It was my birthday, so I made it my gift and asked for a Bonavita. We found it for about half off its list price.
I was poopooing the temp criteria, etc., but dang if it doesn't make an amazing cup o' joe!
I tout it to everybody now.
It's a drip coffee maker, and it drips from multiple locations. It'll also prewet the grounds, which I haven't tried yet.Are you talking about the "drip through" kind? One of my favorite treats in Oregon is to hit the street vendor in Eugene on a Saturday morning with their row of drip through cups lined up.
What coffee are you using?

Also very fast. About 6 min. for a full pot.

I like Central American coffee.
Currently using some Costa Rican from Costco.
Turn in your man card please...I'll probably lose my coffee lovers club card over this, but I've really come to like the Archer Farms coffees from Target. They've got a good selection of fair/direct trade options. My favorite for work is the pre-ground Nicaragua Las Mercedes medium roast. Then I usually keep a whole bean dark roast in the cupboard for mornings at home, when I don't mind taking a minute to grind it. Pair it up with my Aeropress and I'm in business!

Archer Farms only makes great potato chips.
It all tastes better when camping.I guess I've had entirely too much Navy coffee...I'm immune to the effects and it all tastes the same to me. Except that Starbucks regular coffee is crap.
Slings and arrows may begin now.
