If you add more than 8 ounces of water to the b-30 it runs into the drain tray (and then onto the floor if you don't remember to clean it). You can't get more than 8 oz of coffee.

An employee at a retail store told me that you can actually brew two 8 0z cups out of 1 K-cup.

I have a B30 and there's no way it holds 10oz. only holds 8 oz-- whoever said that on the shopping channel needed to do their homework.

When I saw this Keurig B30 demo on a home shopping channel, the Keurig rep said that you could use 8 to 10 oz. when brewing your coffee.

I did an experiment for you and filled the kettle to the level I usually do and then poured it out into my coffee mug, which is a standard size. I got 8.5 mugs out of one full kettle. So if your cups are a little larger you'll get less, or if you use smaller, Japanese sized cups you'll get more.

I always use the same size cup when I use the prefilled cups. If I want stronger coffee, I use the cup I bought that I can fill myself and then I can decide how strong my coffee will be. But,for most people, I understand that there is very little difference in taste between the cups off coffee once they are brewed

You are correct about 12 cups not being 12 measuring cups. Remember that an average sized mug holds about 2 cups of the brewed coffee and an old-fashioned 'teacup' may hold 6 oz. If you remember these measures, you will always be able to estimate how much coffee to make. Stove perked coffee is really good! Hope you enjoy the process and the coffee.

If you only ever brew one cup of coffee at a time, the Keurig is fine. But, this one has a small reservoir (24oz) which I think makes it a better option over the DeskPro. You should also take into consideration the size of the cup you like to drink. This machine has a 6oz or 10oz option. The B130 DeskPro brews an 8oz cup.

I use the reusable "My K-cup" coffee filter by Keurig and Yuban dark coffee. I like a good strong cup of coffee as well. Since this has the 6,8 or 10 ounce cup coffee choice, you can try them all to make the best taste as to how strong you like it. I think I made the best choice in coffee makers as it fits my moods. Sometimes, in the afternoon, I will make a cup and only want 6 or 8 oz cup of coffee. I love that it has options!

Short answer YES. Whether I select 8oz or 14oz the coffee is brewed correctly

I suspect that when they say "8 Cups" they mean 8 smallish coffee cups full. One pressing fills my large travel mug with some to spare. It's definitely on the smaller side, but without being able to keep it hot, I'd prefer that anyway

The B130 is a single cup brewer 8 oz at a time. Most of the other models have a large reservoir . The only draw back of the B-103 is you have to wait for the water to heat, where as the reservoir models store hot water for "instant" brewing, but hey, I can wait tow or three minutes.

I do not know, but it would be the same as a 6 - 8 oz. cup of regular Folgers coffee I think. We do not notice a difference. It is so much easier than having a coffee machine on the counter, which a limited for me. There is Decaff too.

This will depend on several factors, all according to YOU. This is essentially a single cup coffee maker - it all depends on how strong you want your coffee, and how big your coffee cup is. You can thus make X# oz of coffee, depending on Y # oz your coffee cup can hold. This is a great way to make a single cup of coffee for yourself. Unlike some of the commercial devices (that make coffee too weak for my liking), I prefer the ease and customization that this device allows.

These GSI pots are 5 fluid ounces for each 'cup'. An '8 cup pot' can brew 40oz of coffee, less a bit for steam and water absorbed by the grounds. The smallest cup of coffee on the Starbucks menu is 12oz. Most coffee cups hold 9-15 oz. So, if you want 64oz (about 5-6 average mugs of coffee), you will want the '12 cup' pot.

Not with this version, which will make as little as about 4 cups and still give you decent coffee. However they do make a 22oz. version, which you can find on Amazon, and I believe that one will make as little as 2 cups (10 oz). Someone said there is a one cup version also, but I haven't seen it.

You can always measure what you put in the filter for brewing. I use 1/8 cup coffee for every 2cups (as marked on the carafe) of water.

Others are saying only one pod, BUT I usually use two Senseo pods for a stronger brew. I have never had it clog. Mellita pods are larger, and only one of those will fit this machine. This is an excellent Senseo replacement, possibly even better. I'm very satisfied!

All coffee brewers I have seen list capacity as the maximum amount of water that can be used at the start of brewing, not the amount of finished coffee you end up with. If cups capacity is listed it is "coffee cups" which are typically 4 ounces (Europe) to 5 ounces (USA) size and can be as small as 1.5 ounces for "Mokka" type Italian coffee makers. Approximately two ounces of water are absorbed by the grounds per ounce of ground coffee used so you always end up with less coffee than the water you started with.

You'd have to brew at least 2x, possibly more depending how strong you like your coffee... using a medium roast & the pulse cycle I get a cup that works for me (think dunkin donuts strength) at about 12oz. It can only hold one pod at a time, it does brew super fast though.
