Do you specify the # of cups you're brewing, and its strength, or is all of that just dictated by water &amp; your own -daily- filling of beans?

The coffee maker comes with a small scoop for measuring the amount of beans for each cup. I use that scoop to measure how much I need for each cup. Therefore, if I am doing eight cups I use 8 level scoops. I like Pete's French roast and it works great for me. I hope this helps.

For what it's worth, I don't depend on the timer to decide how much grounds to dispense. If you want to ensure a consistent cup of coffee every day, I would recommend figuring out how much coffee by weight you need to make an ideal-tasting pot of coffee and then measuring out that amount of beans on a kitchen scale. That way you merely set the timer to run long enough to empty out the hopper.HTH.

There is none, use the water level on the left hand side to determine amount to fill. Use the suggested amount of coffee from the back of the package of coffee to put in basket. Adjust over time to fit your preferences. I use the amount for 10 cups on robust to make an 8 cup pot of coffee [water mark 8]. This the best coffee pot bar none in my experience.

That's how I prepare it. I like my coffee strong so I always add a little extra. You may have to play with it to get the right amount depending on how you like it. I hope this answers your question.

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).

It depends on how strong I want the coffee. If I'm tried and need a burst of energy I just add 6 oz of water. But, if I want a cup coffee to relax I add 8 to 10 oz.

When I make my coffee, I will put in enough water for 11 cups and I get 10 and half cups of coffee sometimes a little less depending on how fine the coffee grind is, the finer the coffee grind is than more water is absorbed into it. I don't have a problem with that. There's a grove to line up the coffee basket and than push it down till it snaps in place so that it doesn't shut off on you.

I don't quite understand the question. We normally put enough water for 9 cups (according to the guage on the side) but set the grinder for 10 cups so we get a stronger coffee.

the strength of the coffee only depends on how much coffee you use. the weak or strong, depending on how much coffee, has turned out perfectly in this maker, no problem at all

Depends on the beans. With small beans, I can make up to 45 grams of coffee if i fill it to the top. This in enough for one french press pot of coffee or a full pot in a Chemex, which i think is about 4 cups. On average I get about 30-35 grams per fill and if i need more, I keep a vessel handy to store the grounds while I grind more.

Amy, personally I am not a fan of espresso or extremely strong coffee. I make 10-cups every morning using 1 3/4 heaping Tablespoons of regular coffee grounds, and it's just right for me (probably about a 3+ on the scale). Five heaping tablespoons of coffee to 10-cups of water, would be way to strong for me. Hope this helps. Good luck! V.T.

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.

Yes, You put the whole beans in their compartment, fill water tank with water, set machine to brew.The machine will start the process of brewing you great cup of coffee.

Absolutely - it matters how many beans you put in grinder. That will determine the strength of brewed coffee.

Not sure... I don't recall a "readout" for # of cups... The # of cups (small cups) is shown in the front. The only read out I recall is the clock and the start time. After you fill to the # of cups you want to brew and add the water, either set the program time and a green light comes on, or hit the start button and it is red and brewing starts immediately. I've had two of the Hamilton Breach Pots (left one with friends when we moved) and neither one has ever given us a lick of problems.

Yes, my husband makes just a few cups at a time. You put in enough coffee and water for two cups and allow the press to work. The pot does not need to be filled to capacity to make coffee. Just a trick to keep your ratios right.
