Strong, if you are not a Starbucks "user"

I bought this to try out since other medium roast Decafs seem a little mild. Well that is not the case here. It is relatively strong, but not bitter. My wife walked through the kitchen and said, "whats burning?" She has a VERY sensitive sense of smell. Anyway, I find the best ways to prepare this coffee are either with milk/cream, or Americano style by brewing a small/medium size (5-8 oz) cup and then another shot of just hot water. Additionally, the reason for only 3 stars is that I think either the grind is too fine or there is too much coffee because my machine starts chugging halfway through, and sometimes cannot make it through the cycle. It does work better to remove the grounds and use a 3rd party reusable filter.
