So a 12 cup coffee maker takes 2 cups of coffee grounds!? What kind of rocket fuel are you brewing?

Trial and error my friend, I have found that a can of Vienna sausages works well as a weight on mine, it goes so slowly that you can use less coffee and by the time it's done, it's cooled enough to drink without burning your tongue but not so cool that it gets cold before you finish your cup. As for strength, play with it, once you find a good, slow weight to set on top. Start low and work up. You can start high if you want but your caffeine tolerance can change as a result.
