All our beverages, except the shots, are designed to be 16.9oz. Making them on the medium setting, 8.5oz, will produce a much stronger drink. Currently our shots include Beauty+ and Immunity+, which are designed to be 3.5oz. However, any pod can be consumed at any size to your taste. In order to achieve a taste profile that fits your needs, you are able to taste control your pods. Simply press the 16.9oz button (tall glass) option, and use a Vitapod 1 liter bottle under the machine  When it has reached the 500ml level, hold down the go button to dispense more water into the bottle. This way you have the same great ingredients, with a lighter taste profile, not as sweet.
