Re:stovetop small/large - 2006/12/05 19:21 Yeah, I thought the same thing when I bought a few stove top makers.

From experience, making coffee with a half full or less than what it's supposed to contain it doesn't turn out too well!! I'd rather buy a small one and if friends come over, just make more

Here's a list of things that usually occur when you put less grounds in;
- Not enough pressure
- Body gets too hot and practically every thing melts. Believe it, it happened to me before
- Low pressure basically results to less likely to have steam and lots of coffee back wash, hard to clean
- Generally bad coffee

Basically, if you're not worried about wasting coffee go for the bigger one, but keep the grounds full at all times.....or you won’t be a happy chappy

OOh, one more thing. As Low pressure means less steam, you'd be waiting there for ever to get some coffee... the next thing you know, you are drinking burnt rubber from the burnt seal due to the device overheating!!

What type are you buying??

Good luck!!
