It is largely a matter of personal preference. When I ran the coffeemaker on the mess decks of my first ship, my fellow Engineers raved about the improvement while the pansy Airdales and Ops-geeks did spit-takes, forcing us to let me take one spigot and someone normal to make the coffee on the other.
My wife, my parents, and I both have the same tastes in coffee, so I have no problems getting away with making coffee the way I like to drink it at home or when I visit my folks, but some complain that it is a bit strong even when I use the same amount of coffee. (I grind it to nearly talc-like fineness).
So it really depends on how similar the tastes of the drinker(s) is/are to the tastes of the brewer.
@BoBo1946 @ragingloli What you need to do is find a smooth blend. There are very few that I can drink without adding some milk, but here are some that I can drink black without brewing them weak enough to look like tea. Some of your “rougher” blends especially anything mass-produced and pre-ground take more to taste remotely palatable though, which is why I don;t drink the coffee served in most offices. There is a reason I pay a little more for good beans and grind my own ;)
