It dispenses TOO MUCH! Box says it can do 1/4 to 3 cups, but there is no option to do 1/4? Did I miss something when I set it up?

The last volume should be 1/4 cup. At least on mine it is. I have a chihuahua and feed him on the last setting 1/4 cup. Check the setup instructions again. The first I set it up, I picked the wrong volume too, so it's easy to do. :) hope that helps.

Probably just press the amount bar 1 time. I do 3 bars for 1/2 cup twice a day.

We had it depensing just a few pieces of food until we had it set up correctly. You can adjust the amount of food using the timer and the food adjuster. I would highly recommend getting the digital timer if you are trying to dispense only 1/8 cup. It takes a little bit to get it where you want it to be but we love this feeder.

As I recall, this dispenser accepts 5 oz cups on one end and 3 oz cups on the other. It does not come with any cups at all, if I am remembering correctly. Can't Customer Service give you the answer?

Hmmmm....that is odd. Did you accidentally choose a reduced cup brew? I think it has that choice I. Programming, however, I have never used it. I have never had mine brew only 1/2 a pot either.

It can dispense different amounts based on the duration of the cycle you set the timer for. For example, my dog has 2 half cup meals and 1 quarter cup meal per day. Based on 1) the kibble size and 2) the opening width I set for the rollers that dispense the food, an 18 second cycle produces a half cup and a 9 second cycle produces a quarter cup. I hope that made sense.

I use 3 heaping tablespoons for 4 cups because when I used 4 T the coffee was too strong. I suspect you pot isn't getting the water hot enough. Maybe the pot is defective. Unless you are using heaping tablespoons.

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.

we had the same problem, and actually found it was an issue with the cups we were using. we took apart one cup where the brewer didn't give us a full cup of coffee, and compared it to one that did. the short-cupped one was missing a filter paper thingy in it, so we don't buy those cups anymore. the only other thing we do that others might not is run it without a cup at 4-5 times a week - my 11yo son uses it to get hot water for oatmeal in the morning :)

You should be able to use ONLY 1 to 1-1/2 cups to equal that quantity. This container hold quite a bit more than that.

I have a slightly larger one and my takes a half of cup of water. I would try a quarter to a third cup. You will know when you have toomuch water it will not fit likes its suppose to.

Yes, it makes up to 12 cups. You just fill the water to the level you want... There are lines there to separate the cups... on the side.

Mine also takes two for a good dispensing and lots of volume. I put one in...then shake well. Then add the next which usually works out great.

I filled to the minimum line (very hard to see) and then poured into a measuring cup. It is 3/4 of a cup. I do not use that much and I never have a problem.

I don't know a couple of cups, but I don't comment more then a bit like a 1/4 cup at a time. You need to leave room for the frothing. It works really well and really fast if you just pour a bit at the bottom- not overloading it. (plus your arm won't hurt) My mistake was putting a lot....then the top froths quickly leaving the bottom to pour out. My recommendation is frothing a bit....it goes a long way anyways :)

You could make less, just put less coffee and water in. You'd have to experiment to get it exactly the strength you like.

You don't need as much coffee with this maker. Try using 3-4 scoops. I find you use a lot less coffee than other brands.

It is hard to say. The dispener can be adjust the opening for more or less to dispensed. But if you only want 4 to be dispense, I never try.
