Who has a Keurig coffee pot? - Page 6

MrsSledn · 12-03-2010, 04:27 PM

Our number two has been acting up a bit here and there. If it continues, they will get called, again. 2nd one in less then a year. And we (or I) haven't been using it half as much as I used too.

It's still a great machine.

We just bought one for my parents for Christmas. I hope it holds up.

I own 3 machines, a B70 at home, a B60 in my hooch here in Baghdad, and a travel one in the office. I love them. Coffee reaches me in about 10 days or less. Machines are all over the place here.

I have been considering buying one of the Keurig units. I like the option of brewing up to a 12 oz cup for my travel mug. Since many of the units have various cup-size options, what changes, if any, occur in brewing the coffee?
Is the same amount of coffee used regardless of the desired cup size? Will the 12 oz cup be weak compared to a 6 oz cup?

Same pod regardless of size brewed.I'll sometimes use two pods to brew a big cup because I like stronger coffee.
I wouldn't say the larger cups taste noticeably weaker though.
Some of the holiday blends have been pretty tasty.

What Dave said, regardless of cup size selected the machine uses one K-Cup.

I prefer strong coffee (read not-watery) and I brew on the 8 ounce size mostly.

With the K-Cups I use I can also brew on the 12 ounce size and it is NOT watery at all, still very good. (Jet-Fuel, Black Tiger, Sumatra, etc)

But with some K-cups, like Breakfast Blend or ones like that, the 12 ounce is too weak for me. If I am brewing for my large travel mug (20 oz) I will brew twice, both times on 8 ounce.

It's really about selecting the right brew for the cup size.

I just ordered some REVV K cups.
The claim is that each cup contains more coffee for a stronger brew.
I haven't tried one yet so it may just be a marketing ploy.

MarkinAZ · 12-05-2010, 11:48 AM

Wow! I have a Melita One Cup. You place a #2 brown filter in it and then place it atop a 10oz coffee mug. Then I place 3 well rounded tablespoons of Trader Joe's House Blend (Sumatra & Columbian) in my coffee grinder, and grind it on the fine cycle (about 17 seconds). I place this fine grind in the coffee filter and pour boiling water that has rested for approximately 30 seconds over the top, and drink it black.

This produces a heftly cup of joe at a very inexpensive cost...

Had 2 cups this morning and I now fully understand

That much caffeine Dom? I really enjoy the Tully's Kona Blend, but there's morning's where I can really use the extra kick. If that's the case with the Revv, I may have to pick some up.

jonumberone · 12-11-2010, 11:21 AM

I'm wasn't wired, just perky

PM me an addy I'll send you a few

AD720 · 12-11-2010, 04:05 PM

Dom did you get the regular REV or the REV with the taurine in it as well?

Anyone used the reusable filter? Just wondering how well it works... and how fine/coarse you leave the beans.

There are a number of different reusable filter type products, which one are you referring to?

76GTFan · 12-13-2010, 01:12 PM

I like to order from the Keurig site, because you build up points to get the B70s at discount.

As far as coffee, I like strong. Extra Bold or dark roast.

My favorites are Green Mountain Double Black Diamond, Dark Magic, Espresso

I also like the Paul Newman Organic XBold.
