10 oz mugs. But the fact is I filled the coffee maker carafe with water, poured that into the coffee maker and it was overflowing the carafe. Extra came from somewhere… ;)

Do you use different sized mugs?

I am glad people are still reading it after a year! :) It was summer so maybe that is the explanation. Very interesting theory too. The problem has stopped (but I did replace the coffee maker!)

ok, this blog is more than a yr old, but w.e i think u got those extra cups of coffee because ur kitchen might’ve been hot after some cookings or w.e this would mean high pressure and when you have high pressure all the H20(g) from the surroundings would turn into H20(l) so im gussing thats the explanation.

p.s u might b wondering y im answering a blog that is over a yr old, b/ im doing a project on ‘physics in coffee makers’ and this was the top one on google.

Sadly, I do get the idea. And I feel your pain! Nice to know the coffee machines are not persecuting me alone!

I’m glad I’m not alone in the Rage Against the Coffee Machine… I got one for Christmas that dared to pour ALL TWELVE CUPS out onto the counter and floor instead of the carafe. Imagine my chagrine in knowing that it was more valuable a coffee-making-system than my old coffee maker, which you had to insert the coffee pot in one particular direction to flip the lever properly or it would drip ALL SIX CUPS out onto the counter and floor… well you get the idea…

LOL! Well, for years I have done laundry and more times than I can count, a pair of socks goes in the dryer and only one comes back. If 18 socks go in the dryer, I get back 17. So where is the extra sock? I knew there had to be an “Old Socks Home” somewhere that all the extra socks were living. I think it was an episode of “The Twilight Zone” where all the lost socks, pen caps, and other stuff we inexplicably lose ended up in another dimension.

It isn’t just me; check out this blog: http://spaces.msn.co...iew&_c=blogpart

I thought the whole coffee mystery was funny. But I would love to understand more about the missing sock. Please hurry before another one disappears!

Oh, no, Mike, you don’t want to do that!!

The stuff that stays behind in the grounds is just awful with the acid. That’ll ruin the coffee you just brewed.

Two of my former lives include coffeehouse night janitor and convenience store clerk. I learned this stuff the hard way.

Of course, if you like that sort of thing…ai yi yi.

did you say you take out a soaking filter and throw it in the trash when you are done. Squeeze the soaked filter next time and see if you can get a cup out of those saturated coffee grounds.
