Does the selector for the # of cups control both the amount of beans ground & the amount of water used. Can I fill the water reservoir & get 4 cups

We tried before, it works but the grinder has issues. We are using the machine now without the coffee grinder. I am trying to use a $150 machine for coffee machine I could have paid less $50 for. Good luck

No, it will put through however much water you have in there, regardless of the cup setting. The cup setting is for the grinder only... Mine tends to grind too much (like if I set it to 6 cups on light strength it will grind enough for 10 cups.) SO instead I set it to 4 cups to grind for, and fill the water reservoir to 6 cups... and it brews six cups of coffee, but uses a bit less beans.

No, you select the amount of beans you want to grind then you add the water into the reservoir. You can brew from 2-12 cups.

Select the strength you desire then select the number of cups. Fill the water reservoir only to the number of cups desired.

it only controls the amount of beans ground. you must fill the water reservoir to the level of the number of cups you want

As much as a travel cup up to 12 cups. If you want to use the single cup brew, you use less water and push the single cup brew feature button. Both the single brew and full pot brew use the same reservoir.

There is a button for 1-4 cups which I believe then adjusts the strength for the amount of water being used.

you put in how many beans you want grinded, you put in how much water you want ------ the insulated metal container only holds 1/2 as much water/coffee as a glass container. Hence it is easy to put too much water in the machine and hence it overflows,,, it brews however much water you put in it. You have no clue how much coffee is in the container as it brews. so you only know it is full when it spill on your computer.

You adjust the amount of beans by the setting of cups. I always tend to put in a little extra pre-ground just to make the coffee a bit stronger. If you do buy one of these, be sure to clean the part underneath the bean holder so it doesn't clog up. You really should do it once a week so it works at it's optimum. Hope this helps.

There is no control on the machine. You choose the various coffee pods for strength and flavor. It does have 2 settings for cup size, so I suppose if you used the bigger choice, the coffee would be less strong.

Yes- the amount of coffee you want to brew displaces from the resevoir. So if you want to brew the minimum of four cups - fill the caraf up to the 4 cup line, prepare the coffee grounds, pour water in and brew.

I use a one cup measure completely full of beans for a full pot of water using my Bunn drip coffee maker with the grinder set at five. I do enjoy stronger coffee with a touch of pure sweet cream.

You can increase the quantity of coffee and grinding fine. These selectors are located in coffee beans area.Even buy choosing the shorter coffee.

Yes you can do it. The coffee container/filter has marks for 2 and 4 cups of grounded coffee, so, you can measure half way up to the "2 cups" mark and you will have coffee to make 1 cup.At the begining, I found kinda hard to measure both time and coffee, but after two or three tries, I found the right amount of coffee and brewing time to have a nice cup of coffee (I usually like very strong coffee, so, I use the 4 cups line to make 2 cups of, i.e., moka).

Normal, must adjust both coffee and cup desired. Decrease number of cups, but add water to same 10 cup setting. Machine will grind 8 cups setting, but add water for 10.

First use the cup as a measuring cup for the beans. Use just enough beans to refill that same cup. Also clean the plastic cupholder after use as ground coffee accumulates at the top.

I would say 4 cups which would be half the water allowed would be the least amount you could make at one process My assumption only, the directions does not note how little you can make at one processing. I always make the full 8 cups, It is better brewed coffee too!

When I make my coffee, I will put in enough water for 11 cups and I get 10 and half cups of coffee sometimes a little less depending on how fine the coffee grind is, the finer the coffee grind is than more water is absorbed into it. I don't have a problem with that. There's a grove to line up the coffee basket and than push it down till it snaps in place so that it doesn't shut off on you.

Yes. There is an adjustment that will slow down the dripping through the ground coffee so you can use a smaller amount of water and coffee to brew the amount you want. I use this every day to make just one large mug of coffee. It might take you a few times to get just the right amount of water and coffee to suit your taste, but it does make a great cup of coffee.

If you are filling the reservoir it should make 12 cups. It starts brewing when you press the button. If you are dispensing coffee within a minute or two, it can not keep up. If you wait until the signal that brewing is complete, then you should have as many cups of coffee as you added water. I hope this helps.

Per my wife: if she wants one mug she puts in two cups of water and add some beans and the machine will do its job. For her the coffee is on the strong side which she likes but never too weak it comes out just right. As for filling the machine with water and asking for one mug she does not do that, she will only fill the machine when we have a house full of guess.
