    I like coffee, but I only need a travel cup at a time, about 16 ounces. Has anyone tried the K-Cup coffee? Would you recommended it? How about any other coffee makers that can only make one cup at a time?

    I currently use the Melitta manual drip maker and I like it, but the K-Cup intrigues me. The downside with it is that it only makes 10 ounces at a time.

    Would anybody around here recommend it?

    I have a Keurig machine, and mine has buttons for "large" and "small" cups of coffee. If I wanted a 16 oz cup I'd just press the "small" button twice. You can also buy a reusable Kcup that you can put your own coffee in. That may be an option for you if you find that running the coffee twice is too weak for you. I haven't had any problems though.

    I've had a Keurig machine for just over a year now, and when it works, it is great! There are a ton of coffee's to pick from. Older models of the machines had a manufacturing glitch, and almost all broke at some point, but I think the new ones are ok.

    The biggest thing I have read about, is that if you use the optional water filter installed on the machine it leads to premature pump failure. I just fill my machine with filtered water from a water pitcher.

    Love our Keurig. We have had it since last summer. We have the one that does iced as well as 3 or 4 other sizes.

    I like the flavored the best.

    Never heard of K-Cup/Keurig, but Nespresso is pretty big here in Europe. The main Nespresso factory is not far from me, and I love to drive past that place just for the smell :D

    Having said that, I'm not a fan of "capsule" coffee and like strieght-up old-school coffee. Italians somehow know how make the best coffee ;)

    Its not too weak for me, but if you really liked extra strong coffee you may not want to run it twice.
