Can you use more than one pod at once for a stronger cup?

No, because no more than one 55mm or 62mm pod will fit at a time, even with the new slightly larger "universal pod holder".

I have tried this and it works. The only problem I am having is I can't seem to get the coffee strong enoughwith this devise, you can make the pod any size you want it. Watch your fingers, the iron does get hot

I would only use it twice on espresso to pull a double shot. It. Would not be good to use once then use again on different day. As for coffee pods one time but it is strong so if you hold down coffee button you can add additional water then depress button to stop so you don't have to make an entire other cup. I have to say the machine is awesome! I love espresso and this pulls Starbucks quality shots just like at cafe

Melanie, there are three settings for large, medium and small cups. You use 1 pod for whatever size cup you prefer. If you want a 10 oz cup and which I believe is the large, then try 1 pod each at medium button or just 1 pod at large if you prefer it a little weaker. We did purchase the extra pod where you can use your own coffee, but do not use it much. You will also find that some pod brands are stronger than others, i.e., Starbucks. We really like our Keurig.

Sure. You'll have to play with the amount of coffee and water to get the number of cups and strength you like but you can make anything from a single cup up to six.

The instructions say don't use 2 pods - and the way the pod holder slides into the machine makes the top pod shift out of place. I use 1 pod at a time and set the machine to 5 ounces of water. When the first cycle is done I put in a new pod and do the same again so I end up with my 10 ounce cup.The reheat time is quite quick so 1 pod at a time is no issue at all. Enjoy!

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.

Not sure! And I don't do my coffee extremely strong so that would affect the number of cups one would yield.

No, you can only use one at a time. I like strong coffee, so I use larger pods - Baronet has good coffee in 10 and 12 gram pods that you can use one at a time and still get a strong brew when you use the 5 oz setting per pod/brew. So, I end up using a mug for a 10 oz cup so I have to brew twice. I think it's hotter than the Senseo, so you don't end up with cold coffee though.

There is no control on the machine. You choose the various coffee pods for strength and flavor. It does have 2 settings for cup size, so I suppose if you used the bigger choice, the coffee would be less strong.

you can add the equivalent of the cup size you are using. I typically use two cups just in case I want a second.

Sorry for the late response but i finally got around to testing it to answer your question..the thing is, in order to get the water compartment open, you have to pretend like you're replacing or putting in a new pod anyway. and the same pod can't be used twice because the second time around only brews murky looking water, which tells me the pods are only good for use one time. hope this helps

You can but it won't be as strong unless you put in another little individual coffee. You can set it up however you want.

Of course you can, but you'll also need to add less coffee...unless you want a real strong cup of coffee.

Using the pods are easier. The coffee is already measured out and has it's own filter. Using coffee grounds you would have to know how much coffee to use for each cup plus find some way to keep the coffee grounds from getting into the coffee cup.

Yes, you can. Four cups is really equal to 2 mugs. Set the Aroma button so it drips slower.

I've loaded just enough for 4 cups. I'm assuming you could use just enough for one cup.
