Hi Molly, sorry the coffee did not meet your expectations, it is very subjective like that. We'd love a bit more feedback if you have the time. You took several different products and blends, was there anyone in particular which you are referring to? Also, can I ask how you prepare your coffee are you with regard to using the short or the long shot button on your machine? We strongly recommend the short shot button for the best taste and extraction. I hope to hear back from you, thanks -Michael
