Can this unit make one serving of coffee, rather than all 4 cups? I have sworn off soda,and discovered that I actually like coffee for the 1st time :)

Yes! And you can make more if you want. All you need to do is ajust the amount of coffee for how much you want to make. You can even do a half cup if thats all you want. You probably have seen all the new coffee makers that you use these plastic cups for single servings. They are great, but to me I think it is a waste and not good for the environment.

Of course this can make one serving of coffee instead of 4!!!! But I usually fill the water to the top cuz I drink 1 big cup instead of 6oz or 8oz. Depending how big your cup is, mine is at least 12oz or so and that's why I fill the water to the top!!! You can make it for 6/8oz and fill the water for 1 small cup.

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.
918346
Yes it can make from one to four cups and that is in your control. You choose on how many cups of water you put in and also how how much coffee you put in for the kind of strength you want.
918347
Well four cups is about 1 mug worth- so it only really makes one serving at a time.
918348
Yes, it makes an excellent single large cup. I use a coffee measure that a friend gave me. I like my coffee strong so I put in 4 tablespoons of coffee grounds. Then not quite 2 cups of water. This makes just enough to fill my large coffee mug. The unit has a timer to turn it on, but I do not like to set it up the night before as the coffee is exposed to too much air. It only takes a few minutes to set it up in the morning.

makes two nice mugs or four little dainty cups, like in the old days. You can put in as much water or coffee as is good for you, but if you turn the pot off, the remainder will not go stale and you can nuke it a little later. I would like to add that I see answers here that indicate it makes one cup. It would have to be a truly large mug to take the glass pot of coffee as one serving. It fills two normal size mugs from the 4 cup pot.

If you fill it up to the top, it makes about two 12oz cups of coffee. oh wait, there are a ton of answers here.

It could make one cup but it would be very weak. The 4 cup carafe fills a standard insulated coffee travel mug. I would suggest making a full four cups. I think you will find this isn't as much as you think.

The amount of coffee is limited to 10grams, and the amount of water (in seconds) is programmable. The amount of time to cycle out the old puck and grind coffee for another cup s approximately 10 seconds. So, for a cup of coffee it takes about a minute. This is really more of a personal coffee maker....if you're looking to make 5 cups of coffee you'd have to refill the water reservoir several times. In my opinion....you should look for a higher capacity unit.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, I usually make only 2-4 cups. I just had to learn to adjust the amount of course ground coffee instead of finely ground.

The amount of actual coffee depends on how strong you like coffee. I use close to 1/8 cup per 8 oz of water. The gives me about 20 servings. Because I usually use this for iced coffee, and the glass is more than 8 oz I get somewhat less servings. You will probably get different answers from everyone who uses the cold brew system.

One single serving makes approx. 8-12 ounces, perhaps more, depending on how mild or strong you prefer your coffee.

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 does not Dan. The coffee is brewed all at the same time. If you make one cup or eight cups you would have the same taste every time. To have stronger or weaker coffee would be determined by the amount of grounds you use.
1888829
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).

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

It makes 1 cup (8 oz) at a time. You must refill it for each cup of coffee. Actually, you can fill it twice with a normal sized bottle of water (convenient). This is the first model Keurig put out for single serve and it is very cool. They came out with the newer model (makes 3 different size cups), but it is clunky looking and still only makes 1 cup at a time. If you can still get this model I'd grab it up.

I'm not really supplying an answer for you but when I go to fill with water to make a pot of coffee, the water starts filling at the travel mug line, it doesn't go down to the single serving where it should start for either pot or cup. so it won't make a pot of coffee or single serving. Also the booklet provided doesn't say anything about that the single lever should be pushed down when brewing a pot of coffee.

I would say this makes ONE big cup of coffee, 4 cup coffee maker when the standard is 12. Hope that helps.

Yes, I do a majority of the time (4 cups) and tastes fantastic. I've gone through many coffee pots and this machine is by far brews the best.

I think that it can make as little as 2oz of coffee. Thar's one of mu favorite features. I can make as little ad one cup, and it will be high quality coffee.
