FF, I myself an not a coffee devotee but DH is and he feels that the bolder the better and the hotter the water the better the coffee, in HIS opinion.
The thing about coffee is that the water needs to be FORCED through the grounds to make that 'perfect cup'. Such as with a French Press, same idea.
If your cup is like dirty water, you may want to look for a better brand of beans.

The K Cups are what I was referring to . No matter which one I've tried far too weak. It was created out here but PNW coffee lovers don't use them. We have 7 Starbucks within two miles, Dutch Bros., the Peets coffee places and numerous independent places. We grind our beans before brewing, dark roast usually Italian. I love the coffee we make. The joke locally is as soon as you finish one cup stop at the next corner and buy another!
