can you measure out smaller amounts for mornings when you only want a couple of cups?

I am sorry that I cannot answer the question...I bought it as a gift and the the recipients are thrilled.

I've never tried. I was given a smaller one and got tired of having to do multiple brews so purchased the bigger one. I will say, DO NOT wash in the dishwasher. My favorite cup of coffee tho. I use it every day. Best tasting coffee.

You can, but you probably won't like the result. There's a reason why these come in different sizes. They rely on fixed amounts of water and grounds. I have a friend who has two - one this size and a smaller one - trying to make a smaller batch in a bigger pot - undrinkable, like dirty socks and burnt rubber. Best bet is make a full pot and dump out what you don't drink

I'm not sure - I never tried. I would imagine that you can place less water and coffee, but I honestly never tried. Sorry,

To be sure, email the seller and ask for height and width. It may be 10 cups with a smaller, wider size.

Sure. I often make less than a full pot, but there is no "2-cup" or "4-cup" setting. Just use less coffee and less water.

No. This measuring cup (the 8 cup version) is so large that the first mark is 2 Cups! It's pretty low on the side, there's just that much volume from side to side.

I always make 1 or 2 cups only, so, I don't have this problem... Don't make a lot of coffee as well. :)

Yes, you can! These little "beakers" are great for measuring small amounts. When not in use they stack so nicely in my cabinet. Love them!

You could do 1 cup but you'd have to put at least a couple of teaspoons of coffee because of the basket-shaped filter - so you'd be wasting coffee if you made less than two cups.

I don't drink coffee in the morning, but my wife does, I use a measuring cup to add the water, and I use 12/3 cups (one and two thirds cups) of water, which makes two of our sized cups of coffee. We don't use mugs. We use the extra brew cycle.

Measure half a cup and take out one tablespoon and that will give ya the 7/16. Like you I am really bad at this measuring thing so I look stuff on the net and I print it out or write it out and put into a folder for further use :)

I was disappointed myself , I measured 8 cups might need more than one or two.

The 1/2 cup measure is 3" in diameter, so you'd be lucky to get a 1/3 cup measure in there.

Make sure you don't have too much water; the measuring cup that comes with it adds about 2 ounces

Yes if you do not put any coffee. But the amount will be equal to a double espresso. You can repeat this action over and over until the amount desired. You need to be careful to watch your water tank.

Tell me how many cups you want to fit in it using a measuring cup and I will pour the amount you want in mine and report back to you.

Not sure as I never measured. All I can say is that I get my two, 10 oz cups each morning with a little left over.

There are 2 windows, 1 on either side of the Brewstation, that show the contents from 12 to just below 2 cups. I love my Brewstation & it's everything they claim it to be. Good luck.

No you are not limited by the unit as the filter can allow the making of one cup, but the water measurement line is set to show 2-4 cups, so you would have to measure the water yourself. In fairness, the effort of cleaning the unit after making only one cup would probably dissuade one from only drinking such a small amount. You could simply buy a one cup infuser (not automatic, but a lot cheaper). If you like good tea, like I do, it is worth making a full pot and drinking the tea over a period of hours. Good tea keeps well in the glass unit, and tastes very good at cooler & cold temperatures!
