Can this be used for single cup use?

Technically, yes. Depends on your definition of single cup. I think anything 10 - 12 oz is good. Anything less than that then you might as well get a smaller french press. You don't need an insulated single cup press.

You can control how much coffee and water you add. It makes approximately 3 8 Oz cups when full. It can certainly be used for a single cup.

It makes about three cups of coffee if you fill it up to the top. You can always make less, it is a very nice press.

Yes, just adjust the amount of coffee grounds and hot water accordingly. One drawback to this French press is there are no guidelines/marks on the inside or outside of the carafe, so it takes a certain amount of measuring (or trial and error). I've gotten so used to mine that it's no longer a problem to eyeball the amount of grounds and water.

yes it can - however it will take as long to make 1 cup as 4. You would scale down your water and coffee amounts to 1 cup ratio. I do not think it was designed with intention of regular one cup usage. but - you can do it.

Yes, definitely. I used it for tea as well just the way it is. If I need more than just one cup of tea, I would measure the water, and placed the tea bags in the infuser and make three, or four cups of tea at once. Good luck.

Yes, just like any other single-serve brewer. You can brew any amount from 4 to 14 ounces at a time.

It is quite large in diameter. So much so that it's too large for a regular cup. So to answer your question, I'd say yes. It's definetly great to have , inexpensive and removable in less than two seconds.

This will depend on several factors, all according to YOU. This is essentially a single cup coffee maker - it all depends on how strong you want your coffee, and how big your coffee cup is. You can thus make X# oz of coffee, depending on Y # oz your coffee cup can hold. This is a great way to make a single cup of coffee for yourself. Unlike some of the commercial devices (that make coffee too weak for my liking), I prefer the ease and customization that this device allows.

As others have mentioned no, it isn't a good cup for travel, we only use it at home in a high chair because it can easily make a mess. I don't know that I would take the advice of another person that answered that hasn't used the cup though. We use it frequently, and only started with one top and it worked great.

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.

Yes you can! I use my on for teaAnd my husband uses one for coffee. We love it!

I've loaded just enough for 4 cups. I'm assuming you could use just enough for one cup.

Yes, you can. Four cups is really equal to 2 mugs. Set the Aroma button so it drips slower.

There is a 1-4 cup button but have never tried one cup only. I don't think there would be enough water to brew the coffee properly.

Yes, you can put 1 cup water in, 1 cup coffe out, etc. the only reason I do not like it is you cannot read lettering on face.

I don't see why not. Just be sure to only add enough water to fill the cup you are using.

I have never tried getting more than one cup from a pod but I would imagine it would be a lot weaker if you tried. They are really made for a "single" cup serving.

As long as the cup is the exact size as the others. There should be no issues. There is also a "brew-your-own" adapter/cup stored in the housing in the right side of the unit, just about the ON switch.

I don't see why you couldn't. If you sit your two cups beside each other, it would not make a mess as you switch from one cup to the other. It is really easy to keep lifting up and checking the level of the coffee in the cup because I keep doing this to see if I have poured enough water. Something I need to try is pouring a cup back through to do a "double brew" to see if I can do my normal amount of coffee grounds. With all the travel drip systems the main complaint was needing to use more grounds for normal strength and this one is the same in those regards. :) Heather
