Thanks. Those are some really good suggestions ...all.
I did pick up some Seattle's Best at Target ..pretty stout, and a fairly full cup. Love the ability to experiment with the Tassimo.

You are right; the Verona brewed exactly 8 oz of caffeine stardome.

I too like a bold cup of coffee and I enjoy Sbux Africa Kitamu and Verona. I've not measured, but I think they make about an 8 oz. cup.
The Gevalia Morning Roast makes a larger cup (12 - 14 oz.) and I usually "enhance" it with an espresso T-disc - nice flavor and a big cup.

The Starbucks African Kitamu and Cafe Verona styles are quite stronger than the MH and Gevalia house blends; and quite flavorable.
And, if stronger is not the goal, I find that I can fill a mug with the button without it seeming too weak.

Great idea BekkaF,
You can get a full cup this way without watering it down. panda2001 I sure hope you are happy with your choices when they arrive.

Again, taste is relative and it really depends on what your taste is ; ) You might very well enjoy your selection. In the meantime, when you get your order and if you find the coffees too weak. You haven't lost any thing, you can always buy some T-discs that are stronger and add to the weaker coffees, getting yourself a full mug of coffee ; ) I bought the G Hazelnut and was so disappointed because I thought it too watery. So I bought some SB coffees, and brewed one of each to make a really nice flavorful cup of coffee and nothing went to waste.

I have been enjoying my new T-20, mostly with caps. I have coffee ordered ...my list.
Gevalia Signature Blend Tassimo T-Discs Coffee 16ct
Gevalia Morning Roast Tassimo T-Discs Coffee 14ct
Gevalia Cappuccino Tassimo T-Discs Coffee 8 Espresso and 8 Special Milk
Starbucks Cappuccino Primo - 8 Espresso and 8 Special Milk Tassimo T-Discs
After I ordered I noted some forum comment about weak Gavalia coffee. Have I ordered the wrong coffees for one who is used to really strong brew? Also which brews give more coffee per cup? I know Kuerig makes some full cup T-cups.
Thanks ...and thanks for any and all recommendations.
