[Electronics-talk] coffee makers

With the Keurig I have, there are 3 sizes of cups, small, medium, and large.  I can't remember how many ounces for each.  All of my cups fit into the large cup category, smile.  None of the cups get filled to the top and, this for me, is definitely a plus.  When I pour myself, I tend to want to get the benefit of every last drop that I can get into the cup.  I would, therefore, often fill the cups a bit too full for carrying purposes.  With the Keurig, they stop with a bit of room to spare, consequently, I don't spill when carrying the cup to the breakfast table or my favorite chair in the living room.

  Hi there Valerie and all those who use a cure egg
  Want to know, can you make a larger cup of coffee. How large cup can you make?
  Also, what do you mean by no cleanup. Don't have to clean out the water pot.
  Not quite sure how they work, but I'm curious about getting one.
