For those of you who really like the Keurig, don't you find those pods to be strong and bitter?  I do, and I love coffee, but at my daughter's house, they have one of those, and I haven't found any coffee there that I like. I love our Bunn Maker.

I use Paul Newman’s special blend medium roast. My husband uses Kirkland brand light roast. His is not strong enough for me.

I think it depends on the pods that you use.  Dark roast of French roast are stronger in flavor to me (bitter?).

Light or medium roast has a much milder flavor.  We use Peets or Starbucks medium roast pods (whichever is cheaper at Costco).

I love my Kuerig.  I buy light or medium roast, Gevalia is my favorite but I also buy store brand.  They are not strong or bitter at all.

I have a Kuerig, but haven't found  a pod I love,  I use the My K-cup with my own coffee in it.  I use either Maxwell House breakfast blend or the Kroger store brand coffee.

Mostly now I am using the stove-top Revere Ware percolator I bought on eBay.  It takes 12-15 minutes from start to finish, but the taste is superior.

I have never found that to be the case. We use Peet's dark roast blends.

@gloriajean   I do not like strong coffee either.  I have tried a lot of the K-cups and these are my favorites.  I also always brew a 10oz cup.

I like Caribou Coffee "Caribou Blend Coffee."  I brew a 12oz cup.

I like Starbucks "Pike Place Roast Coffee."  Again, I brew a 12oz cup.  These are my go to coffees for my Keurig.  I do add a little sweetner and sugar-free creamer.  I've tried to drink coffee black and I just can't do it!!!

Also, sometimes for a treat I get Cafe Escapes "Chai Latte" for something different.  I love the smell of it and it has just a hint of cinammon in it.

As others have said, you probably need to brew a larger cup of coffee so it's not so strong.
