It's likely that a good cleaning could fix your issue. Specifically, try these solutions:

1) De-scale the brewer. After a while the reservoir can become partially clogged with scale from hard water and should be de-scaled every now and then. To do this, run 1 cup of white vinegar through the brewer on a regular cycle. Repeat once more with a fresh cup of vinegar. Once that has finished, run it with fresh water until no trace of vinegar remains. 3 cups should do it.

2) Clean the exit needle and/or the entire K-Cup holder assembly. To do this, remove and disassemble the assembly. The parts are dishwasher safe (top rack) or can be cleaned fairly easily by hand. In addition, use a paper clip or other small object to clean the inside of the exit needle. Coffee grounds can become trapped and clog the hole. Be careful, however, since the needle can be rather sharp. Note, also, that the hole in the needle where the liquid exits is on the side of the needle, so whatever tool you use to clean it will not go all the way through.

My Keurig B70 has begun dispersing various amounts of water no matter what size cup is chosen

you will need to try the vinegar/water cleaning... 1/2 cup white vinegar to full tank water..run until empty..then redo, with clean tank of water....taste water when done, no bad taste
this has to be done on these machines at least once a year.....

I am interested in purchasing this 6 cup brew station, but all pics I see use travel mugs. Can it be used with regular 10 -12 oz ceramic mugs for home use? How about 6 oz cups that match Corelle...

How does the coffee get into the cup? If it brews directly into the cup then the amount can be controlled by how much water you put into the maker. If it is a 6 cup then it must hold the coffee in a reservoir. Do you have to push and hold a button to dispense the coffee or do you push and wait for it to fill your cup? If it is the latter then it will need to know how large or small the cup size is. Is there a setting for that? If it is a push and hold method then you control the coffee flow so size is up to you. As far as it being a travel mug or ceramic mug as long as the mug will fit in the maker and sit securely under the nozzle then it shouldn't matter what kind of mug it is.

When I run water through the Keurig, it works fine, but the moment I put in a coffee, it balks, sniggers and refuses to brew. I think there must be something wrong with the perforation -- as though it...

Check the needle inside the k-cup reservoir to ensure it is clean and not clogged. You can completely remove the k-cup reservoir by pushing up from the bottom (where it normally dispenses into the cup) and it should pop out easily. Wash it out with hot water and check the needle for any debris. The manufacturer even recommends carefully inserting the tip of a small paper clip into the needles to push out any debris if needed. Then replace the k-cup reservoir by aligning the arrows and snapping it back into place. Lastly, brew a cup of just hot water on the largest brew size without a k-cup. This should further help clean out any debris or obstructions. Then try to brew a new k-cup as usual and see if the problem is corrected. Hope that helps...best of luck!
