after many attempts to manufacture only two cups of ordinary coffee, I gave up. It just does not work because the small amount of relatively coarse-ground coffee that does not cover the half of the filter soil, may not be sufficient to allow then taste the water flowing through even remotely after coffee. Also get very fine coffee grounds by the gold filters, which reduce the enjoyment of coffee. From 6 Tasssen the thing succeeds much better, but even far more of the coffee flavor from a vending machine. In short, I have not returned the machine, because I had to use it and the next customer would therefore not be expected. However, more coffee is needed, it keeps you warm for several hours in the jug. But joy while drinking coffee stole not come up with this coffee brewing system.
