Finding the Right Size - How to Buy Mugs for Your Coffee Brewing System

Have you ever purchased a single-serving coffee brewing system, only to find when you got home that your favorite mug didn't fit?

With the ever-growing popularity of one-cup brewing systems from companies such as Keurig® and Nespresso®, it's important to take note of the maximum cup height and capacities for each machine so you can purchase mugs accordingly.

Here are the maximum capacities for Keurig® and Nespresso® machines, as well as cup sizes they will accommodate:

Keurig® K10 Mini Plus Brewing System
KEURIG®

Capacity: With the Keurig® Mini brewing system, you can choose to brew 6oz., 8oz. or 10oz. of coffee per K-Cup. Some premium models will brew up to 12oz. of liquid.

Cup Height: The maximum cup or mug height for a small Keurig® is 5"-5.25". The drip tray at the bottom is removable to provide a little extra room for your mug or travel mug.

Recommended Mugs for Keurig®: At Könitz, we offer only the highest-quality porcelain mugs for your tea, coffee or hot chocolate. Our thick-walled cups keep your beverage warm and are stain and chip-resistant. 

Here are our favorite Könitz coffee mugs that will fit your Keurig® machine:



Nespresso® Inissia

NESPRESSO®

Capacity: Because the Nespresso® is an espresso brewing machine, the amount of liquid returned is very small. There are two choices of beverage size (at factory settings): Espresso, which is 1.3 ounces, and Lungo, which is 3.7 ounces. 

Cup Height: The maximum cup height for a Nespresso® machine is 3.25". You'll probably have trouble fitting any regular mug underneath!

Recommended Cups for Nespresso®: We recommend choosing a style from our Coffee Bar Collection. Coffee Bar includes espresso cups, cappuccino cups, and latte mugs. At 2.25" high and 2oz., our classic white espresso cup is the perfect choice.
