Can you just brew one cup at a time or do you have to brew 12 cups every time?

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.

You can put in as much coffee and water as you choose - one cup worth or 12.

I have never done it, but I cannot see why not. You just have to get the proportion of coffee right. Start with the amount that the coffee manufacturer (Starbucks, Folgers) suggest on the container. You can add or subtract based on your taste.

Because of the size 1 1/2 liter model brewing 1 cup canbe done but not recommended.It's size make this a cumbersome task to make that amount .

You can--but why would you want to have to clean that big pot for just one cup? I brew a full pot of tea in the morning and drink tea throughout the day--reheating each cup in the microwave.

Yes you can brew smaller amounts. I usually make two cups at a time. But it does not press all the way to the bottom with smaller amounts of coffee.

You can, this press is great but maybe you need a smaller press, I use my to cold brew coffee I always brew 12 cups. Just remember some preses including this one say 12 cups but 12 6oz cups not a true 8oz. Plus you need to add coffee this lowers the fluid volume as well. So completely full coffee and water yields just about 37oz. I love the press. Let me know if you want a cold brew lesson lol.

I have not tried to brew only 1-2 cups with this pot but since I often want coffee and my husband does not, I bought the small 5 cup 22oz Yama pot also and you can make two cups with that. They also make a very small drip pot that you can make only one cup, which I also bought. Needless to say I love all of them but find I most often use the 5 cup pot. They are pretty reasonably priced so...

If you make a full 12 cup pot of coffee, you should use #6 filters. The #4 has a tendency to overflow and you get coffee grounds in your brewed coffee.

you can make just one cup if that is what you wish,just brew it for the right amount of time.

Yes, I usually make only 2-4 cups. I just had to learn to adjust the amount of course ground coffee instead of finely ground.

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!

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.

This will depend on several factors, all according to YOU. This is essentially a single cup coffee maker - it all depends on how strong you want your coffee, and how big your coffee cup is. You can thus make X# oz of coffee, depending on Y # oz your coffee cup can hold.This is a great way to make a single cup of coffee for yourself. Unlike some of the commercial devices (that make coffee too weak for my liking), I prefer the ease and customization that this device allows.

You can choose 2,4,6,8, or 10 cups, add the water necessary for each, and it automatically grinds enough beans. Oh yes you can also choose three different strengths of brew, we like the strongest.

yes, you just put it in your coffee maker and brew like any other coffee. I found 6 tablespoons to a whole pot of coffee worked best.

Yes, you can brew just one or 2 cups. However, I drink out of a full size cup. The 4 cup Mr. Coffee ... really only brews 2 good size cups of coffee for me ... which is great . It has been a good little coffeemaker since I bought it. It being rated as a 4 cup coffeemaker ... must refer to those little white styrofoam cups.

In my experience it is best to make only one cup at a time because I like strong coffee so you will want the double dose to go into one cup.

I don't think you can get 12 cups out of this coffee maker. 10 cups seems to fill it to the brim and if you put more water in, the carafe overflows. The marker on the coffee maker indicates 2,4,6,8,10 and max, but max is overflowing. The max setting may be where some are getting the idea that you can get 12 cups.

It doesn't need time to reset or reset between cups. You can brew consecutive cups without waiting; However, for 5 cups you will probably need to start with a full tank of water.

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.

Yes, if it is used every day. If it sits for a few days some of the water in the reservoir will evaporate and you won't get a full pot the first time. But once the reservoir is full, it brews a full 12 cups each time.

If you are filling the reservoir it should make 12 cups. It starts brewing when you press the button. If you are dispensing coffee within a minute or two, it can not keep up. If you wait until the signal that brewing is complete, then you should have as many cups of coffee as you added water. I hope this helps.
