can you brew less than 40 cups? Say 20 if you want

Absolutely. After success using the MaxieMatic for a family reunion, the family continued using it at much less than half it's capacity with excellent results.

Yes, simply adjust the water and grounds to your needs for the moment - however, the indicator shows up at 14 cups, so if you are brewing less than that, then it may be a little difficult to judge.

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.

Only a few secs to brew so you would only be limited by how fast you can empty refill and tamp the filter basket. get two more portafilters and two assistants and you're good for about 400 cups an hour or a good buzz, whichever comes first.

I'm pretty sure you Can. There are markers to show the amount being brewed. I fill it up, though, and drink out of a large cup (which does not seem to me to actually be four cups).

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!

I believe the least is 25 cups--for our group we have 30 members but make 45 cups becasue we use 12 oz cups--butr have made 25 cups many times with no problem

No problem at all. I do that every morning and the 4 cup line on the coffee pot allows me to fill a 20 oz travel mug. It brews in under 2 minutes too, which is really nice.

You could brew as few cups as you want - would just be a different amount of grounds/water, but no reason this bigger french press would keep you from brewing a smaller about.

I don't suggest you buy this one, you can try buy smaller. Usually I use 16 cups for around 30-40 people

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

I'd be willing to say about 10-12 cups we do an 8 cup recipe and it has plenary more power and room for a good 2- 4 cups maybe even more! Hope this helps.

Definitely, I usually brew just one cup for my husband each morning. Takes less than 5 minutes. This is definitely worth the money, the cups alone would cost nearly what the pot costs.

If you need to change the amount, you can program it to brew longer or shorter. I've also noted that depending on the grind and pack it will either brew more or less.

You'd have to brew at least 2x, possibly more depending how strong you like your coffee... using a medium roast & the pulse cycle I get a cup that works for me (think dunkin donuts strength) at about 12oz. It can only hold one pod at a time, it does brew super fast though.

It doesn't have a setting for how many cups you'll brew. It just grids the beans. I'm not sure it would be very helpful to have such a setting anyway. My mother uses half the amount of coffee that I do to brew a pot. I like it strong. She like colored water.

Yes you can make less than a pot. Just use less water. Works fine. The carafe is stainless but I have never seen the reservoir. It is by far the best coffee maker I have ever used.

Yes just decrease the water and the coffee and brew it work just fine. We brew 2 4 and 6 all the time depending who is here
