Â* That depends on the roast , the grind , and how much coffee grounds
you use . My little 5 cup Mr C ADCM makes a great cup of coffee . Fresh
ground medium fine grind blend of 2 8 O'clock varieties makes coffee
with a rich full flavor and not bitter at all . It doesn't stay in the
pot long enough to get nasty ...
