    You say between 6 and 10, the other commenter said 427. I don’t know what to think!

      The other one is just comparing volume.

      This post is just basing it on heat capacity.

      There’s another saying 34 equating it to a tank less heater.

      The original question is too vague - there’s no one to one mapping between keurigs and water heaters. If you’re just trying to heat your houses hot water, any of those answers are valid. So is “1”, but it’d be slow and you’d only get a half gallon before refilling it, and at that point the last batch is cold, but it’s still heating water… . It’s just a question of what you REALLY want and what your constraints are.

        I read once that if you’re trying to get some creativity juices flowing, removing unnecessary details will allow for more abstract thought. Like “write a story about an ogre” would lead to very different stories than “write a story about an ogre doing pushups”, even if the latter is probably arguably more funny.

        So that was my thinking here about being a bit vague, I was specifically talking about tankless water heaters which got us on the subject though.

          Oh I totally get you, and it leads to more interesting perspectives and discussion for sure. I don’t mean to insult your question by calling it vague - the person was just saying they didn’t know what to believe among multiple answers and who was right, and I was pointing out that a vague question has multiple different answers. Didn’t mean it to come off as insulting your question.

          The problem with this answer will always be volume. 6 of them would be one really quick shower.
