Can you brew just one or two cups at a time instead of four?

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).

Sure! Just put less coffee in the filter, and use less water -- to brew 2 cups, for example, just use half the coffee and water you would for a full pot. Be aware, though, that an "official" cup of coffee is just 6 ounces (5 ounces for hot tea, in case you were wondering!). So if you drink a mug of morning coffee, be sure to make at least half a pot (2 cups).

Yes, you can brew just one or 2 cups. However, I drink out of a full size cup. The 4 cup Mr. Coffee ... really only brews 2 good size cups of coffee for me ... which is great . It has been a good little coffeemaker since I bought it. It being rated as a 4 cup coffeemaker ... must refer to those little white styrofoam cups.

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

Hi, actually, it will perfectly brew two mug-sized cups. put 2 1/2 scoops of coffee. I use this pot every day, and I love it!

I dont recommend, bcoz it will taste watery. One single cup at a time. But if you want to brew for 8oz, you can do it at the same time for two cups

Yes, you can process 1 cup at a time for pre-ground. You can also setup any of the buttons to be pre-ground all the time.. This way when you select the button, it will automatically call for pre-ground coffee.

No, you can only use one at a time. I like strong coffee, so I use larger pods - Baronet has good coffee in 10 and 12 gram pods that you can use one at a time and still get a strong brew when you use the 5 oz setting per pod/brew. So, I end up using a mug for a 10 oz cup so I have to brew twice. I think it's hotter than the Senseo, so you don't end up with cold coffee though.

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.

The smallesThe smallest amount you can grind is for 2 cups; if you don't grind I would imagine you could brew a single cup but that defeats the purpose of fresh ground coffee. The aroma from a fresh grind is unbelievable. I make 2 cups in the morning.

Yes it can make from one to four cups and that is in your control. You choose on how many cups of water you put in and also how how much coffee you put in for the kind of strength you want.

You can brew ONE or two cups at a time. Or one tea & one coffee. It does not have a brew delay.

Yes. I usually make 1-1/2 cups (typical-size mug cup) of coffee for myself. It doesn't make 8 cups of coffee unless a cup is very, very small.

It doesn't have a setting for how many cups you'll brew. It just grids the beans. I'm not sure it would be very helpful to have such a setting anyway. My mother uses half the amount of coffee that I do to brew a pot. I like it strong. She like colored water.

Can it make only 2 cups at a time equally well? My wife doesn't drink coffee but I do and 4 cups is too much for one sitting.
1729899
Yes you can but why if you are going to brew multiple cups why use a one cup coffee maker?????
1335514
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.

I agree with Catherine T. Depends on your preference. I brew 2 cups but take the first. Call me selfish, but I like it strong!

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.

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.

You can choose 2,4,6,8, or 10 cups, add the water necessary for each, and it automatically grinds enough beans. Oh yes you can also choose three different strengths of brew, we like the strongest.

I have not tried to brew only 1-2 cups with this pot but since I often want coffee and my husband does not, I bought the small 5 cup 22oz Yama pot also and you can make two cups with that. They also make a very small drip pot that you can make only one cup, which I also bought. Needless to say I love all of them but find I most often use the 5 cup pot. They are pretty reasonably priced so...
