Coffee needs to mingle with hot water for a certain length of time to extract all the flavors in the grounds. When you brew half a pot (6 cups) a portion of the coffee flavor remains in the grounds un-extracted.

I have experimented for quite awhile to see if I could overcome this design limitation. This video illustrates the process I use increase the contact time of the coffee and water. It is helpful to have a coffee maker with the "drip stop" feature allowing you to remove the carafe while the filter basket contains liquid.

  • I gotta say....slightly labor intensive, but anything worth doing right usually is. Good video. Also, have you tried the "double clutch" method of brewing coffee using an automatic coffee maker? I won't bother explaining it here, it's easy to Google, but I've tried it and it works rather well.
