I just bought a melitta single cup.

Like this
http://www.amazon.com/Melitta-64010-...itta+pour+over

It underextracted, badly. I put in maybe 4-6 tablespoons of fresh ground, and it didn't come out nearly as strong as I thought it should. I ran another pint through it, and it came out what I would call "average" brew.

I poured in a full cup of boiling water, slowly, andgave it a stir at the beginning to break up the coffee in the bottom of the funnel.

What do you guys think is wrong, or is this normal? I can think of several possibilities. First, maybe I put too much in the funnel. Second, the beans may not have been right. Third, maybe the grind was too fine, or not fine enough.

If i'm going to use this with any frequency, I'm going to get a mesh filter for it. I'm thinking it might make a nice pint of coffee. I bought it because I know quite well that the cheap 2 cup brewers don't heat up well enough to get a good brew. I'm hoping that this will do almost as well as a press.
