Travel Mug Use When using a travel mug, can you adjust the amount of coffee since travel mugs are generally larger than normal cups? Do you need to run another cycle with a new disc to fill it up?

You'll need to run another cycle, either of the same type, or you can get creative and add a chocolate or an extra espresso.They have now come out with new Gevalia & Maxwell House breakfast coffee discs which do produce more, using one overflowed my usual cup which was never filled by the original size. I found the new large ones at Bed Bath & Beyond. Use the 20% off coupon that they send out weekly in the mail.

I use the large and medium cup sizes which together fill the mug I use. At first I did adjust these two water settings to match my mug. Never changed them since. My wife uses the medium setting. I use the many bean setting all the time and she uses the fewer bean setting because she doesn't like such a strong cup of coffee. I use Seattle coffee company French roast beans which I get at Costco. Costco also has Starbucks French roast. I like Costco because the bags are large. You could order on line.

Well my mug holds about 2 1/2 cups give or take and the tea maker was perfect for it. I wouldn't fill the tea maker and use a small mug. Just a good (normal) sized mug does the trick :)

Yes it did, and we were happy with the coffee that it made and we could fill our tall travel coffee mugs, we were happy with it for a # of years - can't remember exactly how many. We then had trouble with the coffee flow slowing down and got no improvement after thorough cleanings. We finally got sick of that problem and so in November we bought a Cuisinart DCC-3000 Coffee on Demand. It has a large, fast, flow, makes good coffee and we are happy. We can fill a mug 5 3/4 inch high, but not our tall travel mugs. Hope this helps.

No, I never use more than one K-Cup...it all just depends on how strong you like your coffee to be. If you have a super big mug though, I might double up. Sometimes I do combine flavors though. Keeps things interesting! Enjoy your Keurig!

That's about all I have every day, but one large "cup". It's actually a travel mug purchased from one of the well known book stores with a cafe. Usually my husband brews enough coffee to reach to the 2-4 mark on the side of the machine. There's a see-through area with a gauge, or level markings, so you can tell how much coffee has brewed so far (for lack of a better term). My husband will usually have a small cup at home too. Not sure if it will make only one 8oz cup only, at least a cup that tastes good, but maybe. One cup correctly measured however, is just that, one cup. Which is not enough coffee for my one cup a day!

they are referring to small coffee cups, not a mug. It is about 3 cups. Since my husband and I would fight over that 2nd cup, we switched to the larger 51 oz. press.

I just got mine and there was no travel cup included. I have searched in vain for a place to submit this error, but can't find one. I will not go to the trouble of returning it just for the travel mug, but I am a bit disappointed that I can't submit a request for the missing item.

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!

No problem at all. I do that every morning and the 4 cup line on the coffee pot allows me to fill a 20 oz travel mug. It brews in under 2 minutes too, which is really nice.

I find that the holder is fairly large. I can put one to three scoops, and I find that 3 scoops does good with my travel mug. BUT my Keurig has a strong button on it and I push that for certain kinds of coffee, like Kona which is very mild. When I brew French, I brew normal, because it is so strong. I hope that this gives you the info you needed. I buy Columbian Supreme, Arabica beans, medium roast. So the kind of coffee you buy makes the diff also.

I only make 1 or 2 cups at a time in mine. I haven't noticed any drawbacks. I like being able to put the whole 2 cups in a large mug if I am in the mood for that much coffee.

Cut down on the water and increase the amount of coffee used. For the coffee part, that is in the area where you put the beans, the first knob on the left in the front. Increase it only one click at a time until you get it where you want it. As for the water, that is adjusted by the knob on the outside of the front of the machine, just under the on/off and brew buttons. I make a mug every morning, but I push the brew button twice, essentially making two demitasse size portions in one larger cup. Hope that helps.

Yes it does fit inside a travel mug... There are 5 different sizes... from small to large....

I think it depends on the coffee cup/copntainer. This has internal 'prongs' so to speak that squeeze around the cup. If the coffee cup/travel mug isn't too tall, you should be fine. When we use a tall, skinny travel mug it can sometimes be top heavy and and bounce back and forth. It's a good product overall, though.

I fill a coffee cup approx 3/4 of the way with 2% milk (froths more than Vit D). I put it under the steamer for 1 minute - after 1 minute I pull the mug down so that the tip of the steamer (where the steam comes out) sits at the top of the milk and froths until it reaches the top of the mug........ I get about 2-3 teaspoons of froth this way......if you want more froth use less milk in the mug. I hope this helps!!
