Does the Farberware 8cup percolator make only 8 cups or does it make 2-8 cups.

It makes 2 to 8 cups, but the coffee tastes best when you make at least 4, I've found.

You can definatrly make 2 cups in it. I do it often because I drink alone during the day... 2-3 "cups" is a mug full. Every morning we make 6 cups except on weekends we make 8.

Makes 2-8 cups. If you only need two cups it can make that of 8 cups if you need more..

Just tried less than half full for the first time last week. It did not brew as well as I would have liked. We typically brew at least 8 cups and have never had an issue. I noticed when my husband was away for the weekend and I brewed a much smaller pot that it wasn't perking as usual. I added a little more water, it worked fine. Aside from this one issue, we loved perked coffee and have never had a bad cup using this percolator. We will purchase again, indeed, and have a back up pot on hand.

If she has an 8cup gavalia coffee maker then it is not a pod coffee maker!!! The 8cup gavalia coffee maker is just a craf and it brews plain coffee, always has!!!

7 cups takes about 12 minutes to start percolating. That is on 8 of 10 on medium burner, LG freestanding gas range.

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.

The 8 cup is a lot more difficult to wash (being taller and thinner), and therefore the glass carafe is possibly more easily broken, and they are expensive. If you frequently only want 2 cups, the smaller one is more cost effective and convenient.

Yes...even though it says 4-cup,I get about 3 cups to a pot.I've had 7-8 new pots over the last 15-20 years.The top gets a littlewarped after a couple of years,so I buy a replacement pot.I use mine every day.I strongly recommend this coffee-maker!

Sorry, i don't know as i always fill it to 8 cups. If you (haven't) purchased it yet, IMO, it's not worth the money. The handle design can get you burned...

It makes 32 oz or 4 8 oz cups. They must consider a "cup" of coffee to be 4 oz. By the way, I love it, very durable and makes great coffee.

This machine uses the 8-12 cup filter size. If you use the smaller (lower) 2-4 cup size and make more then four cups, the grounds will overflow the filter and end up in the carafe.

I occasionally make only 2 cups; it works satisfactorily. I do make sure the tea bags are stuffed down into the bottom of the basket and I may allow another minute of brewing time. Three or more cups is ideal.

Ours will just make the 8 cups of coffee, but that's large cups. We love it.

Can it make only 2 cups at a time equally well? My wife doesn't drink coffee but I do and 4 cups is too much for one sitting.

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.

Same here. When using this thermal carafe the machine makes 1 or 2 cups, then turns itself off. I have to manually re-start it 4 or 5 times to get 8 cups made. Doesn't happen with glass.

I have the 4 cup and the 12 cup---the 12 cup will not perk unless it is a full pot--hence why I bought the 4 cup--which is really only two reg size cups when full.

Yes, it makes 4 cups just fine. In fact, I've even made less than 4 cups & it worked well.
