With the one I have, you get only two choices in the ounces of liquid per cup;--i.e., twelve or ten, I think it is. There is only one setting for the heat, but it's exactly the temperature I like. You are right, Shirley, though, that other coffeemakers don't offer the choices the larger Keurig offers.
For those who are looking into the Keurig and its competitors, the competing machines are, for the most part, less expensive.. Some are around fifty dollars. You may want to look at the kinds of pids the machine takes. You can use K-cups with some of them, but others only take a certain brand of pod. Even though the Keurig was more expensive, the K-cups offered a wider range of flavored coffees that appealed to me, and that's why I chose the Keurig. Since I'm not a purist, I love some flavored coffees. I'm not putting down purists in the least, for I am a purist when it comes to certain food. I'm only explaining why I chose the Keurig, rather than one of the other, less expensive machines. If you are a purist, and you only like unflavored coffee, then one of the other machines may be the thing for you.
