"Choosing the wrong drink size setting for your pod will result in a less-than-optimal taste. While your Keurig could offer up to five drink size options, each K-Cup is only designed to make a 6- to 8-ounce coffee. If you want to start your day large, it might be tempting to reach for that 12-ounce button on the machine, but all this does is pump more water through the K-Cup."
"As the amount of ground coffee in the K-Cup remains the same (around 9-12 grams), the brew will simply be more diluted. Brewing with too much water can also result in a burnt or bitter taste. If you want to enjoy your favorite K-Cup brands as they are intended, stick to smaller-sized drinks - you can always make another if you need an extra boost."
Keurig machines offer quick, single-serve coffee with pod-based convenience and multiple drink-size options. Each K-Cup contains a fixed amount of ground coffee, generally around 9–12 grams, and is designed to brew a 6–8 ounce cup. Selecting larger machine brew sizes forces more water through the same amount of grounds, producing a diluted and potentially burnt or bitter cup. Compact models like the Keurig K-Mini lack size buttons and use the entire reservoir amount for each brew, so measuring water improves flavor. For stronger taste, choose bold or extra-bold pods and check pod packaging for the coffee weight.
