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.

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.

Mine makes 28 ounces of pressed coffee, filled to 5/8 of an inch from the top. I use about 1/2 cup of ground coffee. Coffee machines consider 5 ounces to be a cup, so an eight cup pot is 40 ounces. This Bodem Presso does not make 8 cups. I think you could get 30 ounces or 6 cups if you use less coffee or a little more water than I do.If you want 60 ounces of coffee to share with friends, you can double the amount of coffee grounds, fill each cup 1/2 way with strong pressed coffee, and add an equal amount of boiled water to each cup.

Yes, you can make less cups -- as a matter of fact, 8 cups is deceiving because their 8 cups is 5 ozs each and most people I know consider a cup to be 8 ozs, so it really doesn't make 8 cups; but I have made four with it and even two, and that works fine. I got the 8 cup size so I would be able to make a four to six cups at a time. It wouldn't work to have 8 real cups.

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.

Yes. I usually make 1-1/2 cups (typical-size mug cup) of coffee for myself. It doesn't make 8 cups of coffee unless a cup is very, very small.

That's not an easy answer... The stronger the coffee, the smaller the portion. If you like coffee as the manufacturer recommends, then 8 Ounces. If you like yours on the lighter side like a Dunkin Donuts, then roughly 12 ounces. You see, the one button operation brews the coffee, based on the bar code, to the manufacturers spec but, after the brewing is completed, you're given 10 seconds to force more water through the brewer so you can tailor the coffee to your liking.

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

32oz should be fine, you would need to experiment with the amount of grounds you need though. 14g makes me 8-12oz, but 21g makes me 16-24oz.Most important think when you're using the V60 is pouring technique. For 32 oz of coffee you will need to consistently "knock down" the high grounds to reintroduce them to the brew.

I think you have it the other way round. Because a common measure of a cup of coffee is considered 6 oz. (8 oz. would overfill the cup) This was an established measure since the 18th century French custom,) Look at all the old Teacups, notice their size.

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.

Hello Kathlene,I am not a Java expert, but I will try to assist. I think a #6 is good for 4 to 6 eight ounce cups depending on desired strength, the amount of coffee you use and how finely ground it is. I think one pour is good for one 6 to 8 ounce cup.A #4 gold mesh filter will work as long as you keep the ground coffee confined to the filter. Hope that helps.French roast, borderline expresso is my wakeup brew.

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.

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.

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

I gave this as a gift, but as the name suggests: Single usually means for one cup. However, if you prefer a more dilute tea, you might be able to get a couple of cups out of one brew.

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.
