I know there are three brewing sizes, but does it dilute the coffee if you choose the 10 oz vs 6 oz?

It seems to dilute it slightly. Not enough to make a big difference in the flavor.

Yes, the K-cup has a fixed amount of coffee grounds in it so the strength is determined by cup size.
1462881
The 6 oz might be a little stronger- I use the middle setting and it is still pretty strong
1462882
I have used both settings and it does not dilute the strength - I prefer very strong dark roast bold and I get the full taste either way

The smaller the cup the stronger the coffee. I like strong coffee and I use the 10 oz most

I have the 6 cup model. I just measured the amount of water used to fill the base to the recommended level: 10 oz. This one's double that size, so 21 oz. more or less. Maybe more, because it's 12-14; maybe less, because the grounds absorb water and some is lost as steam.

Not with this version, which will make as little as about 4 cups and still give you decent coffee. However they do make a 22oz. version, which you can find on Amazon, and I believe that one will make as little as 2 cups (10 oz). Someone said there is a one cup version also, but I haven't seen it.

Very often a cup of coffee is considered 6oz so I would guess this is a 48 oz capacity. Just my 2 cents. I'm also researching a new press so do not own this brand. Don't take that as a definite just something to consider.

Hmmmm....that is odd. Did you accidentally choose a reduced cup brew? I think it has that choice I. Programming, however, I have never used it. I have never had mine brew only 1/2 a pot either.

I think you have it the other way round. Because a common measure of a cup of coffee is considered 6 oz. (8 oz. would overfill the cup) This was an established measure since the 18th century French custom,) Look at all the old Teacups, notice their size.

I have the 6 cup model. I just measured the amount of water used to fill the base to the recommended level: 10½ oz. This one's double that size, so 21 oz. more or less. Maybe more, because it's 12-14; maybe less, because the grounds absorb water and some is lost as steam.

Actually, I haven't found it to make a significant difference. Of course, consider your current brewing preference. Compared to a French Press, the coffee is weaker. Another thing I found makes larger cups richer and more flavorful is to use EkoBrew refillable K-cups and my own ground coffee. It's much cheaper and you can adjust the results by the amount of coffee.

Short answer YES. Whether I select 8oz or 14oz the coffee is brewed correctly

When I saw this Keurig B30 demo on a home shopping channel, the Keurig rep said that you could use 8 to 10 oz. when brewing your coffee.

Apparently there are two identical looking models whose difference is determined by the serial number. Both make two cup sizes. One makes 6 and 8 Oz while the other makes 8 and 10 oz.

Go big or go home, you can always use less water and coffee. I had the 6 cup and I had to brew 3 of them in order to receive my daily caffeine fix. The coffee was outstanding but waiting for it to brew was about a 15-20 minute wait.

They have both sizes. For me, the 11 oz was just right for one cup of coffee.

Yes. Maybe closer to 6. But if you have the strength and patience for it, the grind is uniform and precise-perfect for any brew depending on the calibration.

No, 4 is the least amount you can do with this one - it seems as if with any coffee pot, their cups do not hold out to a regular cup so I am not sure if they go by 6 oz. cups or 8 oz. cups. I hope this answers your question(s).

Machine will not operate with less than 6 oz of water. I've tried :-( With a single serve machine you really need a rich coffee. B'fast Blend is weak to begin with. And, the single serve machines do not give the water enough time to soak the grinds so the first water comes our almost clear [about half the cup] thereby producing a weak cup of coffee. My work-around is a coffee POD instead of a K-Cup. I put a JavaOne FRENCH ROAST POD in the My K-Cup and now get the best cup so far. French Roast is a richer coffee but not bitter; it translates well to a single serve machine. Result is a stronger, richer cup, but not too. When I put the pod in the My K Cup I put the pod seam to the sides, then I cut an "X" in the pod so the water can penetrate the pod and get to the grinds faster. Sounds complicated but it's really not at all. With pods, you can run them under water before inserting in the holder too [before cutting the "X" that is]. This will get the grinds lubed so when the water hits the coffee it's more ready to release it's flavor. Make sense? Pods are about 1/2 the price of the K Cups too, and the coffee selection is excellent.
