I thought at first maybe I just wasn't brewing it right, but even when you make it especially "strong," it doesn't increase the coffee flavor; it's just the same only more intense than before.

I do want to figure out how to make the flavored blends myself, because they're usually not quite right no matter who you buy from. - Like Pumpkin Spice coffee; I'm not too sure how to really do it since they don't sell something like Pumpkin Extract. Vanilla Extract works well, though... I do wonder what would happen if I put some pumpkin in with the coffee grinds.... although my mother would kill me if she ever found out about my experimentation. XD

A superior coffee machine that does all is definitely one of my ultimate goals one day; I can't stand how much I spend on coffee! Although it did occur to me that I spend absolutely no money on alcohol, so... I'm kind of entitled, right? lol
