A:AnswerYes, the amount of beans ground is the same for each of the three options for brewing. I like dark roast coffee and prefer it a bit stronger than most…it meets my expectations.
A:AnswerMy machine makes a single hole. You may need to clean the puncture needle with a damp cloth. If you open the top of the K-cup you are going to get grounds all over the place.
A:AnswerMine does this too, no matter what brand I use. Sometimes you can use a pin to puncture a tiny hole and it might stop this but it helps about 50-50. I hate this coffee pot for this alone.
