Can I brew just one cup (8 oz) using this coffee maker? Or is there a minimum number of cups for each brew?

There is a button to push for brewing 1 to 4 cups of coffee, with an indicator light to let you know that the "mode" is active.

This machine has a "1-4" button, which can be selected to slow the brewing process and allow for just one cup.

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.

The cup that the brewer comes with is rather small. I use my own big cup and add extra coffee grounds in the basket. I don't know the volume of my cup but it's a big cup, so the brewer can brew like almost 2 regular cups of coffee. Hope this helps.

It has a button on left side of coffee maker that let's you select 1-4 or 1-3 cups. I have used mine to make a single cup without any issues.

you can make just one cup if that is what you wish,just brew it for the right amount of time.

Not sure of total oz in one pot, however 1 cup of coffee is definitely not 8 oz. Believe each cup is approx 5-6 oz. In 10 cup carafe we get a bit more than 4 cups/mugs.

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.

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

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.

One cup would be difficult as there is a minimum amount of water you need to put in there to get it to work. Two cups would be OK...but keep in mind, the larger the pot of coffee, the better it works.

You can make as many cups as you'd like. I've filled this half-way before using less coffee and it's fine. I've owned this for a few months now and use it regularly, and it has been a great purchase!

If it's like mine, it has the option to only brew 1-4 cups. You may have set it on that by accident, Look in the lower left corner of the display and see if it reads 1-4 cups.

Yes. There is a selector switch on top of the coffeemaker that allows you to brew a single cup of coffee or two cups at once.

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.

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. 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.

You are not supposed to use just one cup. If you use it correctly, it might work. The minimum is .5 liters which is a little over two cups. So many people seem not to follow instructions

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