No. The t-disc has a barcode, which the machine reads and then determines which size drink you are to brew with that disc. Once the brewing process is finished, however, there is an option to "hold for more" (or something similar), which allows the user to customize the amount of water which is brewed into the cup. The side of the T-disc package shows the proper cup size to be used for that particular brew.

If you are using the single serve attachment (small cup), the only option available is the single serve button. If the large pitcher is attached and it's not working then your pitcher isn't lining up right with the base.

Hi, Peyton! That is precisely why I detest the coffee maker. I talked with Kitchen Aid; they are not willing to accept return of the product; they would send me some replacement part which is supposed to remedy the overflow problem. The overflow occurred whether I brewed 2, 6, 12 or any amount. I honestly don't see how the new part will correct the issue, but I'm going to try.

Open top cover; remove basket for grounds & put amount of grounds in for how much coffee you want to brew. Put water in brew station and pour water in back up to the pointswhere it tells you how many cups; put cover back on and press on/off button on top left side. The brew station buzzes when coffee is done; place cup in front and just press inon lever in front for coffee to come out. I'll be happy to answer any other questions. Hope this helps!

I have never tried to use my own coffee with my pod maker. Not sure if you can or not. To use my own coffee, I use myKeurig.

You got it, TanyaP! As long as you have everything else ready to go, just pop that basket in the SoloFill slot hit the start button (please, please make sure you have the grind and run time settings set up on the machine!!!...read my first review...), grid away, drop it in your brew basket...if required...or just close the lid on your basket adapter, then drop into your keurig and brew away! Yay!!!

The only solution to this problem that I can think of is that you may have another setting on at the same time. For example, if you've set the auto brew to brew at a specific time in the future, and you've pushed that button, telling it to brew at that future time, it won't brew if you press the brew button. You must cancel the other command for it to obey the brew command. Hope this helps. I really like this coffee maker. I've had it for about a year now and I haven't had any problems.

Immediately pressing the button again after first pressing it to brew just simply pauses the brew. After using a capsule once, technically you could brew a second time with it - but please don't. The capsules are made for single use and the second brew wouldn't taste right. I always want a larger cup of coffee, so I typically use 2 capsules and fill my cup with 2 of the "double espresso" (aka the larger button of the two size options). This comes out to about the size of a typical American cup of coffee - but stronger!

I don't have the mug with me right now, but I have a Keurig B60 brewer and this mug just barely fits in the brewing area when the bottom piece is removed. That's with the lid of the mug removed, and the lid adds about another half inch or so. So that will give you an idea.

I've been looking at that this morning. It looks like the Keurig models that don't allow you to use the refillable pods are the new machines that are listed as a 2.0 version. 'read that on the Consumer Reports site.

No, l can't since I sent the pot and the brewer back to the company since I did not work with the militia model that I had. They have sent me a new brewer with the appropriate carafe. Kris josephsohn

I put two scoops of coffee in the filter for each cup of coffee. It pretty much fills the whole filter inside the pod. Once I put the cap on I give the bottom where the spring is a little push to compact the coffee then brew at the larger cup setting. Makes a great cup every time! Maybe it's the type of coffee or the amount you're using?

I'm sorry you cannot. Most machines have their very own custom pod. Go to the website to get the best selection in coffee. I absolutely LOVE this machine and the coffee variations, especially the price! Makes coffee the way they do in Italy.

Have to disagree with that answer. Just to clarify... to make a 12 oz mug of coffee, I press the "+" button once, and then the "Start" button. On the third morning after I'd gotten the T55, mine ran out of water in the middle of brewing a mug. It stopped the brewing process. Not knowing exactly what to do, I refilled the tank, crossed my fingers, and pressed the start button... and it finished brewing the mug, releasing the correct amount of water, without overflowing. As explained in my review of the T55, the tank's water level is clearly visible from the front of the machine, through a "window", when there is no cup on the holder. The top of the window is just above the "max fill" line, and the bottom of the window is about half-an-inch above "empty". To brew a 12 oz mug, the water level needs to be about 1.5" above the bottom edge of the window. I don't use the water-filter or its holding-tank; simply filling the main tank with filtered water, instead. This allows me to brew four 12 oz mugs before needing to refill the tank.

You have to push the brew button to start and stop the machine and open the to lever to expel the used pod, as opposed to the Nespresso U, which does this automatically. t

The one that comes with the machine or your choice of the same size. Maybe the size is on the listing. I bought this as a gift so I cannot remember the exact size of the cup.

I also have the Mr. Coffee KG5 and I am not sure what you mean "by pulling the little latch down instead of the top". Latch down on what? I'm very frustrated with this Mr. Coffee and the my Kcup. Would like to use the ecobrew after all the positive reviews. If you could help me out with a little more detailed explanation it would be much appreciated. thank you
