[Electronics-talk] coffee makers

Thu Feb 6 03:16:08 UTC 2014

Mine doesn't use all the water, and I can't figure out why, or how to make 
it do it.  Or is it maybe defective?  Pam.

Not dumb question, since you never saw or operated.  You simply pull off the
whole container, which is the size of a pitcher.  It maybe does 7 cups, so
lasts a week.  Also it blinks blue lights, when needed to fill.  If not
vision to see, it just won't work and you pull off container and it will of
course not be full.
Forget blindness, just easy and great.

Okay, really stupid question. Can't
But how do you know how much to put in the cure egg. Do you put the amount
that you have in the cop that you're using any Karric?.
Just curious.

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.
