At my office we also have a few who feel the filter must be filled to the top to make coffee, but that only makes it bitter. I drink mine black and start off the morning with 3.5 scoops of coffee (home style Bunn machine) and a full load of water. For me that is perfect, but the boss needs to doctor up with cream and sugar.

For the second pot of the day I just throw on 2 heaping scoops and the third gets an additional 1.5 scoops. Fourth pot starts over fresh. The coffee strength never lessens and the recycling of prior grounds stretches the coffee can. Around the 6th pot the swing shift crew comes in and they start making it their way, by then I've had enough to keep me calm the rest of the day.
