[Electronics-talk] coffee makers

Thu Feb 6 14:29:03 UTC 2014

It seems to actually have gotten worse.  It used to leave about an inch of 
water in the bottom, now, it leaves over an inch-and-a-half in there.  I 
used to be able to coax it to use more if I poured about four ounces of 
water into it, but that doesn't work anymore.  Pam.

I had a Keureg Mini that did that and I hated it. I actually think it came 
from overfilling it. I got another one that is adjustable for three cup 
sizes which is much better.
