Cup Brew
Is there a way to brew stronger coffee with the Keurig one cup coffee machine?

I’m thinking about buying one of the big ones with 5 different cup size options. My question, though, is if the same amount of coffee grinds are used for the 12 oz as the 6 oz, how will that effect how strong my coffee is? I typically like stronger coffee anyway, so is there a way to brew stronger coffee? I tried asking someone at Bed Bath and Beyond and he offered no help.

There are two ways to create STRONGER coffee. One is to increase the amount of grinds, the other is to decrease the amount of water. So the answer is YES, the amount of coffee is the same in a 12 oz cup as the larger with a Keurig brewer. If you cannot select a smaller cup size with your brewer, just remove the cup before it is finished brewing and catch the excess in another cup. Then you can get the desired strength…sounds like a hassel rather than a convenience. I prefer a press.
