Can I just make regular coffee with this? Is the tray removable so I can put a tall cup for brewing? Thanks. :)

Yes, you can make a regular cup of coffee, all my guests love it. You can either use a longo capsule which is for a bigger cup, and or use another capsule. And yes, we make ice coffee drinks in large cups all the time.

No. The largest coffee you can brew from this machine is a longo which is equivalent of 2 -3 expresso's.

It makes only espresso and a slightly diluted version they call lungo. They have another line, I think called virtua, that uses different capsules that makes larger volume drinks.

Yes, you can. Its construction is very similar to 'standard' coffee maker, and cleaning is similarly easy.

No, it is too tall to fit under a Keurig, even with the drip tray removed. I simply make it into a shorter container and then pour it into the Zojirushi. It's worth the minute of extra work to have my coffee and tea hot much longer than any other mug I have ever used though. If you use it for cold it is not unusual to still have ice in it 24 hours later. It's that good!

Hi Mr. G there is a removable tray under the cups, with that taken out 4"cups are no problem

yes, you can use the regular Keurig. Just fill your mug/glass/etc. with ice and then brew it directly over that. Make sure to select a smaller brew size to account for the fact that your mug is full of ice. Generally, if I am using a large travel mug, I will use the medium brew setting. Also, after it brews, I generally add more ice until the mug is full since some of it melts when brewing.

Yes, the tray is removable and can be removed easily by lifting it up. But, it also sits fairly solid on the top. Sometimes I put coffee, other drinks on the tray and have not spilled one yet.

Yes you can, I am an expert on commercial coffee machines and I have to say that this little machine is really not bad. Not to be compared with one of the big ones like Saeco but what comes out, can be strong and pretty good. Only thing it is a little messy but that is the handle system. It is certainly a step towards the big ones until one can afford it. You can make a regular cup of coffee by using the double filter and let it run two cycles with the same powder. or the single filter and one double cycle. If you want a stronger one press the coffee powder good in the filter but careful not too much and not too high so that the filter has problems going in its place. AR

Most likely yes, though there are a large number of these machines these days, and some even come with a tall carafe. The whole idea of the Keurig is one small cup at a time being brewed, however, so it would seem logical that you'd actually be better off with a standard coffee maker to fill this big cup. I stopped using the "Big Joe" cup some time ago and bought a large ceramic cup, simply because over time the plastic liner of the thermal cup began to give off flavors to the coffee, and I've so far found no way to stop that. I no longer have a long drive commute, so it's not a real problem to use the ceramic cup... and I'm enjoying my coffee a great deal more these days. Good luck!

I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to put a regular coffee maker on top of this. The Keurig brew is sitting on top of mine just fine and I believe it's heavier than a regulate coffee maker.

It is necessary to use the travel mugs or the thermal pot only because the height of coffee output is about 7 inches to drip tray. Splashing and coffee cools down too much. It's a little work, but I use splitter basket, put half of coffee in each side, and brew into the thermal pot. This works well for me. I make about 24oz of hot, strong coffee that keeps fresh and hot long enough to linger 2 hours [if I want] between 10-12oz servings in one of my favorite mugs..................

We use a larger Melita at our cabin. When making coffee I sure wouldn't want to make it the way you are saying, but if you do not have anything except the cone, glass carafe and a cup I guess you could try. (Perhaps try it sometime before)

Almost certainly not. It doesn't fit under my current coffee maker and I used to have a Keurig. That said, the mug is good enough that I don't mind brewing coffee into a measuring cup or something and pouring it into my mug. :)

Yes you can. The carafe holds 20 oz (actually 22oz if you push the limit a bit), so you can make one cup of coffee any size you want, from a 5 oz demi-cup, to a 22 oz mug's-worth. You decide how much / how many cups you want and just adjust the coffee grounds and water accordingly. No worries.

Yes, it makes a regular cup of coffee in 2 standard sizes. These features are able to be customized to make more or less as a one touch operation.

Yes you can but, it won't be hot. I returned two because the first one was missing parts,the second one the coffee was not hotand it had electrical defects.

Yes remove tray fill tall glass up with ice and brew after you might need more ice
