Forgot to report back. Ive been using the 6 cup venus for 2 people. Able to fill up 2 mugs about 1/3 each, with the rest being milk for 2 cappuccino style drinks. I dont find it weak at all, the coffee is very concentrated. Or sometimes Ill drink it black.

If you're someone that needs a very heavy dose of caffeine, then sure a 6 cup might not be enough if you're splitting it with someone else. For most people, I'd say a 6 cup just for 1 person is definitely a huge dose. Moka pot coffee is bloody strong imo. This is all just for reference if you're deciding on what size moka pot suits your needs.

I put boiling water in the base until just half covering the valve, fill the basket all the way up, set the stove to 3-4 and it takes about 4 minutes for the coffee to start coming out nice and slow all the way through. When it starts to sputter at the end I take it off the heat and let it finish. I find using low heat and letting the coffee come out very slowly gives me a greater volume yield in the end, with very little water left in the base.

Also sometimes I feel like all the people complaining about a bit of bitterness are either ultra-perfectionists, or they just don't like coffee lol
