My Kuerig does a coffee mug. It has 3 size cups it will make.

I love mine. I make one cup of coffee every day for myself. Sometimes
I use it to make tea in the evenings.

We used to make coffee in a drip pot and more likely than not we were
throwing it away. Child gave us the machine as a gift and I love it. I
don't really care how much it costs, it's still cheaper than that
over-priced swill they sell at *$ and I enjoy it.

When we are away from home the two things I miss most are my dog and my
Kuerig. If it's an extravagance, I've earned it.
