There was a time when the only Keurig® brewer cup size was eighth ounces. Not too big, not too small – fully satisfying no one. Some of us like to sip a small, strong cup of coffee. Others demand to gulp the largest mug filled to the brim. Thanks to a variety of Keurig® cup sizes we all win. In this article, we will explain Keurig® cup sizes. We have also included a comparison of the available models and a cup sizes chart!
What are the five cup sizes available on Keurig® brewers?
First, let’s clarify what we mean by cup size. Keurig® cup sizes are in ounces. As in, how many ounces of water are dispensed from the reservoir. The more water, the fuller the cup and the thinner (weaker) the coffee. Less water will give you a shorter cup and a thicker (stronger) coffee. Some units have three size options others have five.
The 5 cup sizes are:
- 4 ounce
- 6 ounce
- 8 ounce
- 10 ounce
- 12 ounce
Keurig® Cup Size Buttons
To select a specific cup size on most brewers, you have to press the Keurig® cup size buttons. It may be a digital button on the display screen or a physical one on the brewer top. The first model we tried many years ago had one lonely button. There are now up to five, depending on the model, ranging from 4 – 12 ounces.
