My Keurig is the worst appliance that I own. It’s expensive and unreliable. Shortly after my warranty expired, things suddenly started going downhill. I’ve attempted all of the fixes, but nothing works, now all I get are “short cups.” A short cup is the official Keurig term for when your machine doesn’t put out the full amount of coffee that it was supposed to.

I have the Keurig Platinum, and it has four size settings. Those settings can be seen in the chart above. Each day I have to mix-and-match to get the right combination to output one normal cup of coffee. I figured I might as well track it.

Get updates on Twitter and follow along as I attempt to create one normal-sized cup of coffee every day or so.
