Activated by weight, can you heat small things as a cup of coffee?
768013
Yes. We have a spatter cover which fits the unit, and that additional weight helps with those very light things like a little bacon on a paper plate. We had one of these about 30 years ago, when most microwaves didn't have carousel. It worked great then, and our new unit works very well. Answering the question, if you are using something that just isn't quite heavy enough to release the mechanism, be sure the item is centered and press down slightly on the item. If you are using a 6 or 8 ounce coffee cup, you should be OK.

Yes. The weight of a small cup of liquid is sufficient to activate the turntable. For safety, the "cup" has to be microwave safe. Also, if the weight doesn't automatically trigger the turntable, check to see the item is centered and gently press down to release the mechanism.

Yes...it doesn't take much weight. For items that are too light, such as popcorn, we put a plate on it and then the popcorn bag on the plate.

Sure. If the cup is full, it is heavy enough to start the rotation. Even if it doesn't, however, you really don't need the rotation as much if you place the cup in the very center because it is such a small item. The rotation is necessary only to help heat larger items more evenly. At least that's the way I understand it to work.

Yes. Push the cup down to start the micro-go-round, then turn loose - and it will keep going, on the weight of a full cup.

Yes, it heats single cups of coffee easily, especially if you have a ceramic cup which adds a little weight to the total package. We love our Micro-Go-Round!!!

Unlikely - it only provides less than an amp of current - US coffeemakers are usually over 10 amps

Yes, unless of course, you like adding cream to your coffee. Then it will cool according to amount added and the temperature of said cream.

Maybe you need an espresso maker. I doubt you can make the K-cups stronger than by pushing the small cup button.

I think that it can make as little as 2oz of coffee. Thar's one of mu favorite features. I can make as little ad one cup, and it will be high quality coffee.

This machine is designed for roasting half pound coffee. Anthing else will be your story to share. For my machine, I won't even consider it.

The brewed coffee is your "base". It can then be mixed with either hot or cold water to get the strength and temperature you prefer.

If it can, I haven't figured it out yet. I like my coffee strong, so I just buy the extra dark cups. Buy the breakfast blend cups or the blond or light ones. Also, if you brew a larger size cup with a lighter blend of coffee, it will turn out weaker. Like say a 10 or 12 oz cup instead of an 8 oz. Keep in mind Keurig is raising the price of all coffee by 9%.

Yes. But It's important to set the amount of Coffee powder you would like to grind. DO this by moving the small selector in front of the device. The lower number, less coffee you will grind, then the machine will shut of sooner

You can use any size cup you want, just adjust your coffee for the right strength

Yes you can, I am an expert on commercial coffee machines and I have to say that this little machine is really not bad. Not to be compared with one of the big ones like Saeco but what comes out, can be strong and pretty good. Only thing it is a little messy but that is the handle system. It is certainly a step towards the big ones until one can afford it. You can make a regular cup of coffee by using the double filter and let it run two cycles with the same powder. or the single filter and one double cycle. If you want a stronger one press the coffee powder good in the filter but careful not too much and not too high so that the filter has problems going in its place. AR

Don't remember sent it packing. Coffee was not hot enough probably because thermal pot needs to be preheated and I only made about 5 cups at one time. Have and old pot just made 12 cups Sunday and coffee was hot, not hot when just 4 or 5 cups made

No to regular coffee, but yes to hot water. However not ideal for hot water as its measured in small doses.

Like any other electronic device that uses an electric heating element it's affected by room temperature. Naturally the smaller a machine is and/or the more liquid it contains the harder it is for the element to keep it steaming hot. It makes coffee that comes out steaming hot and when I have been in a rush to drink I've burned my tongue. As for strength of coffee it's quite capable of delivering a dark rich eye opening brew even with less expensive blends if you go heavy on the scoops. I use it with 8 O'CLOCK original, Joe's Donut House and even Chock Full of Nuts Original with great results. I've got it loaded now and will be pressing the on switch shortly.

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.

Yes, you can I have used it that way. all you have to do is turn it off after it brews...don't add ice so once the automatic blend cycle starts it's only coffee. Hope that helps.
