Weak brew

Will be returning this one. I couldn't make strong enough coffee, even after filling the basket to the top, compacting the grounds, and using a fine espresso grind. I wasn't looking for coffee you can stand a fork up in, just something that didn't taste watery. Tried for 3 days, using more and more grounds and it didn't seem to make much difference. I really wanted to like this machine. It looks very nice, everything about the coffee maker is well made and of high quality material. It brews at the perfect temperature, unfortunately since the heating element shuts off after 20 minutes you would have to pour it into a secondary vacuum carafe to keep it hot for any length of time.
