Does the coffee have good taste if you just make one or two cups?

Depends on the coffee you are brewing. I like a strong coffee having lived in Brazil I use espresso roast or Trader Joe's dark roast and I fill the holding area to the fullest. I get strong black coffee.

Yes. I've never noticed a difference, but the smaller pot may taste better.

You could use your own coffee and put in a small filter, but I use the pods, they are easy and taste very good.

No. You test the 4 cup or mug settings, with the type of coffee you use. my wife likes weaker coffee, she uses a breakfast blend, set 1 position from the right, just before travel mug size. For some cups, hot cocoa for instance, we use the middle setting, for stronger taste. Experiment and find what's right for you., but I would never use 2 k cups. shop around your grocery store and online for economical cups.

One sachet makes one tasty big mug of coffee. I guess you could also get 2 small cups. Depends on how strong you like your coffee.

Yes, I do a majority of the time (4 cups) and tastes fantastic. I've gone through many coffee pots and this machine is by far brews the best.

No. Only about one and one half cups, which is about 3 cups in coffee maker terms. So you need to pour thru in several stages thoroughly wetting the grounds on the first pour. Also the hole in the pour thru device is to large. I made mine smaller with the end of a plastic cable tie, (it's what I had handy). It sure makes good coffee though. Hope this helps.

Hello Hilde G.No. You don't always have to make 2 cups at once. There are pods especially made for the Cuisinart brewers; for example 'Cuisinart 1 Cup Coffee Pod "Case Of 200"'. (you can search this on Amazon) Thank you for your interest in our products!Sincerely,nGAP, IncorporatedCustomer Support877-477-8701

Absolutely. Just use less water and less ground coffee. Their "cup" is 6 ounces and for 2 cups they suggest 1.5 tablespoons of ground coffee. So 8 ounces of water and one tablespoon of ground coffee is just about right for a "real" size cup. You can also just put water through it without the ground coffee and pour the hot water into a cup with instant coffee. Don't put any instant coffee anywhere in the machine. - charles

Yes you can brew smaller amounts. I usually make two cups at a time. But it does not press all the way to the bottom with smaller amounts of coffee.

You could do 1 cup but you'd have to put at least a couple of teaspoons of coffee because of the basket-shaped filter - so you'd be wasting coffee if you made less than two cups.

If you are looking for a one cup, similar type of coffee, get an Aeropress. Well worth it.

It's a matter of the quality of the water to start with, and your own taste-- Why not brew two cups, one with the water filter installed and one without it, and see if it makes a difference for you.

Yes, I usually make only 2-4 cups. I just had to learn to adjust the amount of course ground coffee instead of finely ground.

I only make 1 or 2 cups at a time in mine. I haven't noticed any drawbacks. I like being able to put the whole 2 cups in a large mug if I am in the mood for that much coffee.

No, I never use more than one K-Cup...it all just depends on how strong you like your coffee to be. If you have a super big mug though, I might double up. Sometimes I do combine flavors though. Keeps things interesting! Enjoy your Keurig!
