The smaller the pot the better the brew in my experience. I think it has to do with the amount of heat required to force the hot water up the spout through the basket and into the chamber. The larger the machine and volume of water, then the more heat this requires. It is possible to use less heat but it takes longer for the water to reach the temp needed to climb.
I use a huge pot for morning which makes two large mugs. If I use a small flame of gas and remove the pot just after it stops spurting into the chamber but before the coffee begins to boil, then the coffee is good. Not bitter, nor burnt, but just right.
