Can I use a 23 oz press to make 1-cup or 2-cups of coffee?

Yes, my husband makes just a few cups at a time. You put in enough coffee and water for two cups and allow the press to work. The pot does not need to be filled to capacity to make coffee. Just a trick to keep your ratios right.

Hello! With the 23-ounce Frieling French press, you will be able to fill a standard 8oz mug about 2 and a half times. This press is ideal for serving me on a daily basis, as I'm constantly refreshing my cup. If you enjoy coffee (you must if you're investigating Frieling) and your friends also enjoy copious amounts of coffee, I would consider one of the larger sizes. I can't stress enough though how much I enjoy owning this size since I actually take it with me to work everyday, which wouldn't be nearly as convenient with one of the larger sizes, which would naturally be essential for parties. I hope this helps! - Joe B

It depends on the size of your coffee cup. I use the 23 ounce to make two medium cups of coffee. Coffee grounds take up some of the 23 ounce space and the pour spout will reduce how much water you can add. I cover the spout with a paper towel to prevent spillage. I actually like the thermos because I can drink one cup immediately and drink a second cup about 10 minutes later and the coffee is still hot.

We have this machine, and you can change the presets to make the coffee up to 8 oz and the espresso up to at least 3. For a to-go coffee, I just make 2 cups of coffee in a row each morning, and end up with 16 oz. of coffee.

I don't have a French press but one small hand full of coffee beans is enough for a Keurig K-cup and it takes two of those for my aeropress for one cup of coffee. The grinder can handle up to two K-cups full. When it comes to the presses, it's as strong or as weak as you want to make it.

Minimum 1 drop, just pour enough water so the grounds can absorb and then release 1 drop of coffee.Maximum infinite, just keep pouring. Adjust grounds as necessary to get the flavor profile you want. For me ~14g ground is good for 8-12 oz coffee, I tried to get 16-24oz with that and lacked boldness.

I have an "8-cup" Bodum French press. The equivalent amount of coffee to a full press is basically half a pot in the Melitta.

I ahve often used this to make 1 or 2 cups. The only slight disadvantage is that the plunger will not go down very low, because it's designed for going down on a larger amount of coffee.

No problem at all. I do that every morning and the 4 cup line on the coffee pot allows me to fill a 20 oz travel mug. It brews in under 2 minutes too, which is really nice.

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.

With good, freshly roasted and ground coffee, 50 grams is too much coffee for a 34 oz french press. I use more like 30 to 35 grams of American or French roast, and I like strongly brewed coffee.

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.

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.

I use mine for espresso. I do 2 double shots by choosing strong espresso and pushing the ok button twice quickly. It makes 2 2oz shots

1/2 cup by volume comes out to approximately 3.75 oz, so you'll have plenty for one batch.

Yes -- you can just add less water/coffee. I usually make 2-4 cups each time. The max is like 10-12 cups, I think.

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.

You can customize the machine to make up to a 17 oz. cup of coffee. It's easy to do. Each type of coffee pod has a barcode, so you need to customize once for each blend. After you pop the pod in you just hold down the "start" button until you get the amount of coffee you want, then you release the button. The machine will then remember what size cup of coffee you want for that particular blend. (You are also able to de-program the machine to go back to the original setting if you prefer.)

Definitely more than one cup of coffee. 3-4 at least. I typically add a bit more than it will hold in one go for a 5 cup French press.
