Is there a window or gauge that shows how much coffee is left in the 'pot'? How do you know, without opening the top and actually looking inside?

Yes, easy to read, on both sides of the appliance. It is marked from 12 cups, every 2 cups, down to 2 cups. I find that the 2 cup mark is only about 10 or 12 oz. The gauges are estimates. I tend to drain the last drop, open the top and pour whatever is left (1/2 cup?) into my waiting cup.

Yes it has a window port on the brewstation ,but if you are near to 2 cup mark , your last cup of coffee will not be warm.

Yes. There is a window on each side of the holding carafe. Love this coffee maker !!

Yes there are windows with gauges on either side of the pot that lets you see exactly how much is coffee left.

There are 2 windows, 1 on either side of the Brewstation, that show the contents from 12 to just below 2 cups. I love my Brewstation & it's everything they claim it to be. Good luck.

Yes there is a resevoir marker, but you must remember that the marked cups may not be YOUR cup amount. They are "china cup" amounts. I have Fiestaware and I use 3 heaping teaspoons of coffee to 4 1/3 cups of water. The kind of coffee maters also. Try what you think would be good only doing 3 cups and taste. Then you can "kinda" figure out what is what. If too strong you can turn pot off, lift lid. wait a minute and add 1 tablespoon of water to "temper" heating element. Then add what you think would bring the flavor to YOUR taste !! Good luck !!!

A hinge on the coffee pot itself or on the machine's top surface? I've added customer shots of the coffee maker if that helps you any.

Yes, simply adjust the water and grounds to your needs for the moment - however, the indicator shows up at 14 cups, so if you are brewing less than that, then it may be a little difficult to judge.

Yes. The pot has lines and numbers that are pressed into the metal. They show the amount of liquid remaining in the pot. There are lines at the gallong and half gallon marks. I have not checked the markings for accuracy however it has always been close enough for my brew days.

The lid does screw all the way off No, I cannot tell how much coffee is left unless I take the lid off to look inside. I have not found a way to separate the top part of the maker itself from the rest but I run vinegar through it on occasion. none of the bad review problems have happened to me and it is working just fine. I set my coffee to brew at 5 AM but by 6:30 it is not lip-scalding hot anymore I have never put my coffee pots in the dishwasher so I can't advise you there.

Yes. There is a sight glass on the right side of the machine. That is the side you pour the water in. You can see the water level rise when pouring. For that matter you can watch it go down while the coffee is brewing if you are of a mind to.

Hi. When I make a full cup, extra water, leave the second coffee pod in the machine, then hold the big button down, the one with the silver circle around it. Hold down until water no longer comes out. Now you have a full cup.

There is none, use the water level on the left hand side to determine amount to fill. Use the suggested amount of coffee from the back of the package of coffee to put in basket. Adjust over time to fit your preferences. I use the amount for 10 cups on robust to make an 8 cup pot of coffee [water mark 8]. This the best coffee pot bar none in my experience.

I'm really not sure about that to be honest. I guess it would need to be taken apart to find out. This is the best coffee pot I have ever had. If it breaks down, I'm buying another just like it!

Hmmmm....that is odd. Did you accidentally choose a reduced cup brew? I think it has that choice I. Programming, however, I have never used it. I have never had mine brew only 1/2 a pot either.

Yes there is. On the back of the pot where the handle is, there is a clear plastic gauge that shows the water level in the pot. I have not tested the measurement in cups that it shows, but it does for sure show the level of water in the pot.

No - you can use the measurements on the glass carafe to know how much water is being added.

I think you can either fill the top with beans (about 1/2 lb.) or toss them in just before the grind, I keep mine full. Either way, there's a bit of grind still in the unit, but that shouldn't be an issue because of the relative amount to new coffee, as well as the fact that unless it sits for an extended period, there isn't enough air and time to seriously degrade the next cup.

The entire pot is brewing so you can take a cup of not quite brewed coffee if you want. :)

That's about all I have every day, but one large "cup". It's actually a travel mug purchased from one of the well known book stores with a cafe. Usually my husband brews enough coffee to reach to the 2-4 mark on the side of the machine. There's a see-through area with a gauge, or level markings, so you can tell how much coffee has brewed so far (for lack of a better term). My husband will usually have a small cup at home too. Not sure if it will make only one 8oz cup only, at least a cup that tastes good, but maybe. One cup correctly measured however, is just that, one cup. Which is not enough coffee for my one cup a day!

I don't think it is suppose to be accurate more of an estimation I think before the last cup. I know how much coffee I have by the amount of water I poured in.
