how do I make just 4 cups of coffee?

Measure out 5 oz of water per cup you want to make. So you would measure 20 oz for 4 cups.

Take the cup you wish to serve in and fill it 4 times plus a bit more... you can pour into a measuring vessel. It only makes as much as you pour in...

Dan,What you pour in is what you get back in return. Either fill pot to approximately 4 cups or you can measure out 4 cups.

you don't have to make a full pot. adjust the amount of ground coffee and add just 4 cups of water. The amount of water that comes out of the unit is equal to the amount that is put in.

Not at all. Making fewer than four cups, however, does not produce a full-flavoured cup of coffee.

Yes, you can make as many cups as you want up to eight. You simply use less scoops of coffee and the press does just as great of a job on smaller amounts. One of the best purchases we have ever made!

I don't think you can make just 4 cups at a time. Bunns have a reserve of 2 extra pots kept hot not that I keep my plugged in all the time just when I'm having coffee. I think the resevoir is plastic but BPA free.

You can, but it's tricky to get the coffee ratio right because there's always some water left in the bottom that dilutes the rest when it siphons back down in. You don't notice it that much when you're doing 4 cups or more, but I think if you're looking to only brew 1-2 cups at a time you'd be better off with a French Press.

It depends how strong you like your coffee. 4 ounces of water would be strong coffee and 8 ounces of water would be weak coffee. I usually add 6 ounces as I dilute it with creamer. I only use these for convenience at work.

Yes, you can make just 4 cups. I do it often. I use a large measuring cup to pour the right amount of water in. The carafe is stainless steel. I don't think it is stainless steel inside the reservoir. Warning, the carafe does NOT keep the coffee hot for very long at all. If you don't have a microwave nearby, choose another machine with a warming tray. It brews very quickly and the coffee is good, but will not stay hot for long, trust me.

you can adjust the base up or down so you can go from 4oz up to a 14oz cup. I use my regular coffee cup which is about 12oz, and the coffee comes out just the way I like it.

I'm pretty sure you Can. There are markers to show the amount being brewed. I fill it up, though, and drink out of a large cup (which does not seem to me to actually be four cups).

It does not make 8 cups. What that means is 8, 4-oz cups (a European sized coffee). It will make 32-oz at one time. Regular, U.S.-sized coffee cups are about 10-12 oz. each, so if you are looking to make a ton of coffee, you cannot. I generally make 32-oz in the morning and it gives me a cup for my husband and nearly 2 cups for me.

There is a gage on the side for the amount of water to make coffee. It starts at 2 and goes up to 12. So you can make any amount you want. I like to make the 12 cup and save some in the refrigerator for iced coffee or to reheat the next day. It make a great cup of coffee, but watch out it is very hot. I usually put an ice cube in the cup if I use creamora or a powered creamer.

Yes you can. The carafe holds 20 oz (actually 22oz if you push the limit a bit), so you can make one cup of coffee any size you want, from a 5 oz demi-cup, to a 22 oz mug's-worth. You decide how much / how many cups you want and just adjust the coffee grounds and water accordingly. No worries.

I have made a small 4oz cup in it using regular grounds but it is much better for making espresso or cappuccino you will have to play with the amount of coffee you use two scoops is going to be strong I used 1/2 scoop. If you like regular coffee I suggest you look as one of the small one or two cup coffee makers.

Yes just decrease the water and the coffee and brew it work just fine. We brew 2 4 and 6 all the time depending who is here

Most people use a heaping tablespoon of ground coffee to 6-8 ounces of water. This seems to be the right proportion and makes a "reasonably strong" cup of coffee. If you want stronger add a standard teaspoon to the mix.

Yes, it makes 4 cups just fine. In fact, I've even made less than 4 cups & it worked well.

I put 4 tablespoons in my 12 cup coffee maker. Make this and you can adjust from there if you like it weaker or stronger.
