but why would you dilute coffee is my question

theres no reason to, it only makes the flavor weaker. add less grounds if you want weaker coffee.

because using more grounds will make it more bitter and achieving a weaker coffee by just brewing with a normal amount of beans and adding water after instead probably tastes better

sorry, meant to say that using not enough beans actually causes the coffee to be more bitter and gross

nayrt, I’m just hopping in here, but when I worked at a restaurant, we had one pot where we made coffee so it’s not really realistic to ask for your coffee to be made in a specific way.

also a lot of people who asked for water to dilute their coffee were elderly. we did have some younger folks who just wanted weaker coffee, but most were elderly.

I remember reading that some people are really weird about the optics of their coffee consumption. It was something like most people say they prefer bold but in practice weaker breakfast blends are the best sellers. Some people who think they have to have bold coffee will buy bold and artificially weaken their coffee with extras.

People are weird.

i guess im just insane for putting extra scoops of dark roast in mine when i brew it because weak/watery coffee tastes like sin to me (not the good kind)

not really

using too much water to beans while brewing overextracts from the grounds which results in coffee thats both watery and too bitter

whereas adding water after the fact to weaken a properly brewed cup of coffee does not do this
