is it possible to brew only two cups of coffee in this machine?

though technically yes, it would be waste of coffee as the coffee reservoir is too wide to give a decent brew with minimal coffee grounds. I have a Black and Decker "Brew and Go" that I really like. It is a 1 cup brewer that is quick and easy and doesn't use those expensive "K-Cups".

Yes just decrease the water and the coffee and brew it work just fine. We brew 2 4 and 6 all the time depending who is here

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.

Yes. Using a pour-over method, I brew 28 grams of coffee using 415 grams of water. This equates to about 2 cups of coffee. Just pour more water over the grounds as space allows.

Sure, you can make just a single cup if you want. Just put in a single tablespoon of coffee grounds, coarse ground, and pour in the amount of hot water that you want.

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.

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.It brews a full or partially full glass carafe. My wife sets hers to 2 cups each morning.

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.

I suppose one could adjust the amount of coffee grounds and water in order to brew as much or as little as they wanted. While the carafe is marked five cups it only fills about two and a half coffee mugs.

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.

This is a single cup coffee maker. Two tablespoons of coffee is all you need.

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!

Yes you can. But the little part that holds the coffee grounds is VERY small. I don't even use mine because of that.

No. The largest coffee you can brew from this machine is a longo which is equivalent of 2 -3 expresso's.

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

I haven't brewed anything but a carafe but I think the Flavor (steeping) mode is only active for single cups.

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.
