How much ground coffee does this make? Is it limited to a single cup of coffee? Or can you grind enough for 2-4 cups of coffee?

Short answer: It grounds as much coffee as your arms can handle. But I assume you meant when the Porlex is filled to the top, then it will make two very potent cups of large espresso. For a french press, it will make two large cups of very potent french press coffees. It mostly depends on how strong and bitter or smooth (fine or course grind) you like your coffee. If you like it less potent tasting then you could probably make three cups per each coffee bean filling. Hope this helps.

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.

Maybe 2 cups, definitely not four. You'd have to do a couple of rounds, but it goes pretty quick. I know that some of the larger hand grinders can do more, but those can be harder to hold. The best part about this one is that your hand fits easily around the grinder enough to grip it really well.

Definitely more than one cup of coffee. 3-4 at least. I typically add a bit more than it will hold in one go for a 5 cup French press.

I usually grind one upper chamber full plus half for an 8 cup French press. basically get the whole lower compartment full for the French press

I don't clearly understand the question. If you are asking if the filter will hold enough ground coffee to make twelve cups of coffee at one time then the answer is yes.

It depends on how strong you like your coffee. We make ours in a 12 cup coffee pot and I put 5 scoops of grounds in. It would take two grinding runs to produce that amount of coffee grounds, however its just a touch of a button and 30 seconds to do it so its relatively quick and pain free.

It really only makes one cup at a time. I suppose you could make two, small weak cups of coffee - but I prefer mine strong - so it just makes one cup.

Sorry, can't help you. Actually this is my 2nd Bodum Bistro coffee grinder. I've had the first one for almost two years. I use it about 5 times a week to grind enough beans to make 10 cups each time. The first one still works fine. I only bought the second one as a back up in case it is no longer available if and when the first one gives out. I've started doing that- if I find something I *really* like I buy a second one because they have a habit of "improving" it to the point that I no longer like the new "improved" model.

Sure, you can make just a single cup if you want. Just put in a single tablespoon of coffee grounds, coarse ground, and pour in the amount of hot water that you want.

From my experience with only grinding for one pot of coffee per day, I don't think that the container to hold the ground coffee is large enough to hold a full grind of the beans from the top container. My guess is that you would have to do it in two or three batches and that would take a few minutes.

Yes -- you can just add less water/coffee. I usually make 2-4 cups each time. The max is like 10-12 cups, I 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.

I make a minimum of 4 cups and I have had no troubles. Personally I think this coffee maker is the best on the market. That hot water tank works fast and delivers a great , hot cup of Joe, in no time. Enjoy.

I did grind my coffee first and then I cooked the coffee in a pot on the stove. I did not brew it although you probably could. I also added dandelion root to my coffee. I have a 2 qt bag so I used about 1/4 cup of coffee. Please feel free to contact the company, should you have any more questions.

At least four. Probably a lot more than that. Let's put it this way - you are unlikely to grind coffee fine enough that it will pass through the filter. Talcum powder mixed into enough water would _probably_ pass through with some encouragement. If you're asking that question, this filter is probably not what you're looking for. If you're looking to make coffee, it will probably service.

This machine accepts only ground coffee. You can grind your own or buy pre-ground coffee. I highly suggest grinding your own as it will be much fresher.

I would say 4 cups which would be half the water allowed would be the least amount you could make at one process My assumption only, the directions does not note how little you can make at one processing. I always make the full 8 cups, It is better brewed coffee too!

Only used the single brew once. Uses too much coffee beans. Takes longer because water steeps longer over burr grind. 4 to 5 minutes seems right.

If you fill the grinder all the way up, I would say probably 4 or 5. Great coffee maker. We have had ours for over a year and we just love it!

I have made a small 4oz cup in it using regular grounds but it is much better for making espresso or cappuccino you will have to play with the amount of coffee you use two scoops is going to be strong I used 1/2 scoop. If you like regular coffee I suggest you look as one of the small one or two cup coffee makers.
