Can you brew just 1 cup at a time with this?

if you use only enough coffee grounds for one cup, as with any coffee maker

Definitely, I usually brew just one cup for my husband each morning. Takes less than 5 minutes. This is definitely worth the money, the cups alone would cost nearly what the pot costs.

I don't believe this machine is suitable for single cups of coffee. It could be done but would require experimentation for the amount of beans to use and how much water to add. I have made 4 cup pots consistently with this unit.

Yes. You can adjust how much water is used in that single shot as well. In addition, you can make a latte using another button. I've had my machine for over a year and I highly recommend!

You can make as little coffee as you want with this coffeemaker. The number of cups of coffee is determined by the number of cups of water inthe reservoir.

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.

It really only makes one cup at a time. I suppose you could make two, small weak cups of coffee - but I prefer mine strong - so it just makes one cup.

Sure. I often make less than a full pot, but there is no "2-cup" or "4-cup" setting. Just use less coffee and less water.

Yes. You can make any size cup of coffee by only pouring in that amount of water.

Presumably if you place regular coffee grounds in the basket it would brew one cup of regular coffee, perhaps a bit stronger than a conventional brewer

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.

No. Maybe but boil the water separately. Don't put the immediate boiling water so as not to burn the coffee. Wait a few secs.

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.

You could, the nozzles are close together so I just brew into the same cup. If you have small cups it could work.

10/26/2013YES! you can make one cup of coffee at a time. This is a fantastic dual cup coffee maker and I have been using it now for several months. I bought this coffee maker because my husband and I love a fresh cup on our way to work. Also, the mugs are perfect in size to take with you or use at home. The best part is that you definitely can make only one mug. It even comes with a coffee scoop. I would recommend this and buy it for a present too. Hope I helped.

I assume you could, but you'd have to watch the pot super closely, because that small amount would brew quickly, and when the siphoning of the water happens, it is already quite fast -- a process that you have to be watching closely to make sure you don't let the pot go dry (needs to be removed from the heat as soon as the siphoning starts). I have to add also that, once you taste this coffee, you'll never, ever brew that small of an amount, anyway! :D It's just waaaay too delicious, and you'll wish you had made the whole pot. I hope this helps! I love, love, love this pot to pieces, and if it ever gets broken (my husband is forbidden to touch it! No joke!), I will be buying a new one the same day!

Yes, you would just push the brew button without coffee or tea in the apparatus. I oft times put a tea bag in a cup and just use the water.
