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.

The amount of actual coffee depends on how strong you like coffee. I use close to 1/8 cup per 8 oz of water. The gives me about 20 servings. Because I usually use this for iced coffee, and the glass is more than 8 oz I get somewhat less servings. You will probably get different answers from everyone who uses the cold brew system.

It does not make 8 cups. What that means is 8, 4-oz cups (a European sized coffee). It will make 32-oz at one time. Regular, U.S.-sized coffee cups are about 10-12 oz. each, so if you are looking to make a ton of coffee, you cannot. I generally make 32-oz in the morning and it gives me a cup for my husband and nearly 2 cups for me.

Best way I can answer is: 1 Cube is enough for a cup (8 Oz), even though some might like it stronger and use more than one cube. Hope it helps.

With coffee and tea a 'cup' is usually considered 5-7 fl oz. In this brewer, it's 5 fl oz. So, 12 cups is just under 60 oz of brewed coffee (accounting for water left in the grounds and a little evaporation). Measure your mugs and divide into 60. I have some huge mugs marked 16 oz, but that's to the top. I actually pour about 13-14 oz into them, so I'd get about 4.5 mugs - equal to nearly 3 normal 'cups'. That's a lot of coffee! :) I don't think you're really going to find a larger residential brewer, whether it's this 'on demand' style or a standard carafe. Everything I've seen has 40-60 oz reservoirs and carafes (8-12 5-oz cups). With coffee and tea a 'cup' is usually considered 5-7 fl oz. In this brewer, it's 5 fl oz.

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.

Amy, personally I am not a fan of espresso or extremely strong coffee. I make 10-cups every morning using 1 3/4 heaping Tablespoons of regular coffee grounds, and it's just right for me (probably about a 3+ on the scale). Five heaping tablespoons of coffee to 10-cups of water, would be way to strong for me. Hope this helps. Good luck! V.T.

16oz of coffee yes. But the maximum capacity is 32oz. Instructions clearly state that you must not fill the pot more than the bottom of the black filter basket, which is about 32oz. Being that a 'cup' is 8oz, then the capacity is 4 cups (32/8=4). This is in contradiction to the poster who says it will make 8 "large" cups - no way.

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

I'd like to get this, does anyone know how much you can brew at a time? My favorite travel mug, that I use every day is a whopping 24 ounce. Or do you think I'd have to brew twice (how many pods will this thing hold at a time)? Would appreciate any input, thanks!

Ibeller79 is correct in that a standard cup is 8 oz. When talking about coffee, a cup is 6 oz. therefore your typical "mug" is probably 10 to 12 oz. When measuring coffee each scooper is calculated per 6 oz. cup therefore you probably do 2 scoopers per mug or 8 or 9 scoopers for an 8 cup coffee maker and get 4-5 mugs of coffee. A demi-tasse cup (espresso) is 4 oz.)

On the smallest setting it will make a standard cup of 8 ozs. The medium setting makes 10 ozs and the largest makes 12 ozs. I too wanted a larger setting of perhaps 14 ozs for a go cup, but I've found that the 12 oz works well. I love this machine!!!!

Depends on your coffee strength and how much water you use. I use one heaping tablespoon per 8 oz. The more the better!

It doesn't exactly taste the same. The smallest size will give you a more robust or stronger brew. But to be honest we use the large setting and it tastes like a standard cup of coffee, not weak like you might think. I use the small cup when I mix or blend two diffetent kcups like coco and French roast.

I like my coffee "lungo" and use a regular coffee cup - not sure if that is 8 oz or not. Hubby likes espresso and uses a demitasse for his. Simply turn the center knob to choose how much water/strength of brew.

It makes 1 cup (8 oz) at a time. You must refill it for each cup of coffee. Actually, you can fill it twice with a normal sized bottle of water (convenient). This is the first model Keurig put out for single serve and it is very cool. They came out with the newer model (makes 3 different size cups), but it is clunky looking and still only makes 1 cup at a time. If you can still get this model I'd grab it up.

Hello BSJAAJK - it's really subjective ie... Size /volume of cup, beans used , grind, etc... Ex: I use 28g ground with a ceramic burr grinder to slightly coarser then sand and that yields aprox. 11 oz of coffee which fills my insulated travel mug. So experiment and see what suits you. Do yourself a favor a buy the Hario V60 Buono kettle and download the Intelligentsia Coffee brewing app too! Good Luck!
