What are the settings for brewing a cup of coffee

No settings other than choosing the cup size, which can dictate the strength of the coffee. In the morning I take a large mug to work so I use a full body, deep, dark roast. However if I am having a 2nd cup at home I will use a light breakfast blend with a smaller cup size. If you drink Coffee you will love this machine. Period.

There is a lever on the brewing basket which regulates the flow of the coffee into the pot. It has settings of off, half on, and full on (up). That might be your problem.

Brewing a cup of coffee depends on your settings. I brew a medium-size mug and use the middle settings for strength, and it takes about six minutes. If you like stronger coffee or use a larger mug, it'll take longer.

You can use loose ground coffee. The one cup maker has a filter with an extremely fine mesh that keeps the coffee grounds from flowing to your cup.

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.

Open top cover; remove basket for grounds & put amount of grounds in for how much coffee you want to brew. Put water in brew station and pour water in back up to the pointswhere it tells you how many cups; put cover back on and press on/off button on top left side. The brew station buzzes when coffee is done; place cup in front and just press inon lever in front for coffee to come out. I'll be happy to answer any other questions. Hope this helps!

Sowden recommends a candle warmer to keep the pot warm, not a hot plate, other electrical device. If you pre-heat the pot with boiling water prior to brewing -- and you should for better brewed coffee -- the pot will keep warm for roughly 20 minutes. Sowden states that the coffee is kept at an acceptable drinking temperature (70° to 85° C) for up to 20 minutes. http://www.sowdenathome.com/sowden-softbrew-coffee-frequently-asked-questions/

The brewed coffee is your "base". It can then be mixed with either hot or cold water to get the strength and temperature you prefer.

There is a setting for as few as 2-4 cups. Cleaning the gold filter, in fact the entire brewing system, is laborious. Don't know about adding more beans. Coffee stays hot and is very good but if you make a big pot, it doesn't come out very strong. And I wouldn't recommend buying a refurbished one thru Amazon's warehouse. Ours was missing parts and was pretty dirty.

Yes- the amount of coffee you want to brew displaces from the resevoir. So if you want to brew the minimum of four cups - fill the caraf up to the 4 cup line, prepare the coffee grounds, pour water in and brew.

I found that there is not really a specific setting for a specific machine. I adjust depending on espresso, paper filter, brass filter etc. I only grind one pot at a time, so a little trial and error is less painful. I still love my machine.

When you first plug it in, set the time of day using the hour and minute buttons. To program, push the program button and set the coffee maker for the time you want it to start. Make sure you don't set it up for PM instead of AM. When the pot is programmed, the button will be lit. If you are using ground coffee, you will also need to push the "grind off" button. If using whole beans you only need to push the program button until lit. The time will remain programmed unless you change it, so if you want coffee the same time every morning you only need to push the program button the night before.

Yes, any source of heat will work ...If the heat is too high, coffee may have a burnt taste. Getting the optimum temperature for brewing may take some trial and error.

Temperature of freshly brewed coffee varies from ~165F for partially filled carafe to 175F for filled coffee pot.

Time of day: Just hit the hour/minute buttons until the correct time is showing. To set the time you want the coffee to automatically start brewing, you must have already set correct time of day, then hit "set delay" button. The yellow light will start blinking, and immediately hit the hour and minute buttons until you have the correct time you want the coffee to brew.

In addition to the settings, check the wattage rating of the coffee maker too.

The coffee should be very rich and full flavored. Use 2.2g per ounce of filtered water. The grind should be a bit finer than French press but slightly coarser than what would be used for drip
