Can anyone tell me how this machine makes just a regular cup of coffee, and how many ounces per pod?

There are two size buttons on the machine. The Espresso button brews 1 oz. and the coffee button brews a 6 oz. cup. That was a big part of my disappointment with the product because the pods are so expensive and it takes 3 to make a decent size cup of coffee.

i have figured out by experimenting with the machine that unless you like extremely strong coffee, you can use a single espresso pod 3 times before changing..thats 3 shots for one cup if you dare or 3 separate lattes. Also on the regular brewed pods you can use them for 2 separate cups of coffee before changing the pod, each cup is about 6 oz.

does pod get moldy if you leave it in for 2nd/3rd cup? I would think so. I drink 2 cups a day and I'd feel uncomfortable leaving pods in there for reuse hours after initial use. Thoughts?

I've had mine for about 10 months. I think it makes great cups of regular coffee for a pod machine. It makes 8 oz. but you can easily get a few more ozs. out of each pod. In my opinion the darker coffees (Verona, anniversary blend) taste the best. If your goal is to save money then I wouldn't buy this machine. It's really more about convenience and IMO a better cup than the K.

The Verissmo is optimized for 1 oz shots of espresso, so it's not comparable to a Keurig for regular coffee cups. Even making an Americano would probably not suffice....

To brew a regular cup of coffee, let the unit finish the first brewing cycle, you can then push the brew button again (do not put another pod in and do not remove the original pod). Adjust your coffee strength by how many times you press the button and let it complete each cycle (I usually press the tall brew 3 separate times for making a pretty strong cup of coffee on the same pod).

I'm not sure how many ounces, but it makes two full cups of coffee...which is enough for me in the morning.

I don't use coffee pods. I just use ground coffee. I am not sure it takes ground coffee. I recommend you not buy this model. The steam nozzle has broken several times.

The coffee percolator only makes about 6 to 8 cups I would say 8 ounce cups

One single serving makes approx. 8-12 ounces, perhaps more, depending on how mild or strong you prefer your coffee.

A cup of coffee is measured as 5 ounces. I would guess this made about 10 ounces.

You'd have to brew at least 2x, possibly more depending how strong you like your coffee... using a medium roast & the pulse cycle I get a cup that works for me (think dunkin donuts strength) at about 12oz. It can only hold one pod at a time, it does brew super fast though.

I have one and it works great. I also buy whole bean coffee and grind it extra fine and don't have to buy the expensive pods...hope this helps you.

I have no idea. I understand they cost $40. This is what I do:To make your own coffee pods without purchasing the pod maker for $40, purchase a 2"x2 1/2" Galvanized Hex Bushing at your local hardware store (2/1/2 x2 1/2 would work better but I couldn't find that). Place the pod on the top part with the lip and push in carefully so the edges of the pod are on the lip. Put the coffee in the pod. With a steam iron, steam over the pod for 5 seconds or so. Then put the top part of the pod over the bottom part with the coffee in it and iron to close it up.I was going to buy the PVC version of this but was told that it wouldn't hold up with the heat from the iron. The metal one cost me $6.85 - better than $40!! I have no idea. I understand they cost $40.

I always make 1 or 2 cups only, so, I don't have this problem... Don't make a lot of coffee as well. :)

The instructions say "1 cup brewed coffee = 5 fluid ounces." We love this pot. Works great. We also got the glass percolator top for it.

Just brewed three cups of coffee with our new Suncana and with the 10g Baronet pod - a little foam. With the Senseo 7g pod - a little foam. Nothing compared to the old broken Senseo. So how are people raving about "It's like a latte"? "Great crema." Not ours. Called the company and they mentioned another pod holder, an espresso pod holder, thatis on their store site for $9.99. They readily admitted that the standard pod holder produces only a little foam (the one that comes with the machine). So it is disappointing.

It makes 32 oz or 4 8 oz cups. They must consider a "cup" of coffee to be 4 oz. By the way, I love it, very durable and makes great coffee.

We make a 12 oz cup of coffee. You need to select that special size of disk. If you want to make a latte, it makes up to an 8 oz cup of coffee.

Hello Vera, I don't know why - all I can say is how I use it, and that I am happy. I use the typical round filters on top of the filter supplied, since I do not wish to clean it each time. I use a mug, so it takes 2 1/2 scoops for the strong coffee I love. My mug and the supplied mug hold the same amount of liquid. I timed it, and it takes 3 1/2 minutes from the time you push the button until it stops dripping. I then tip the unit to get every drop, remove the paper filter, and I have my morning coffee, the way I like it and saved a ton of money rather than the premeasured pods. It shuts itself off after the 3 1/2 minutes is up; but you cannot turn it off once it is on. It is so small, it would easily fit in my travel case when I go out of town. I am so happy with this that I am giving it as a Xmas gift as well. It is exactly what I wanted! I hope all this helps you, and you are welcome to ask me any other questions you may have. Happy Thanksgiving, Suzanne
