The flavor is smoother. I've used the big, bulk bags from Costco to boutique grinds and you still get the flavor. The nice thing is, it can actually make cheap coffee taste good

I will admit, the downside is that you need to monitor your level and when it gets down you should brew a new "pot". It sucks when you want coffee and realize you drank the last yesterday and now have none.
Another thing I do is make two batches with the same grounds. First batch as per the instructions. Once drained, use 1/2 the amount of water and brew again for 12 hours. That gets drained into a different container as the concentrate isn't quite as concentrated. That 2nd batch generally gets a dilution mixture of 1:2 (concentrate to water) instead of the normal 1:3.
