We are a big family, I need an expression machine able to make more than 2 cups at a time...?

Max is two shots. After using once a day for 19 months we are getting a heavier machine. It seems to be losing pressure.

This machine only allows 2 small espresso at a time. Call the different companies and ask if they make any semi-automatic machines that will make 4 cups at a time.

The max it makes is two espresso shots at a time- depending on how strong you prefer your coffee that is.

This won't be the one for you, then. lt makes, at the most, two shots at a time. It's a great machine though.

Can it make only 2 cups at a time equally well? My wife doesn't drink coffee but I do and 4 cups is too much for one sitting.

You'll need to run another cycle, either of the same type, or you can get creative and add a chocolate or an extra espresso.They have now come out with new Gevalia & Maxwell House breakfast coffee discs which do produce more, using one overflowed my usual cup which was never filled by the original size. I found the new large ones at Bed Bath & Beyond. Use the 20% off coupon that they send out weekly in the mail.

I found out the same, I decided to get a stainless & glass Bodum press... been using it for a couple weeks now and I'm really happy with it... decided to save my $ cuisinart for those occasions where I have a lot of people over and need to make greater amounts of coffee and stick with the bodum for everyday use.

Don't use an "all-in-one" grind and brew machine. Purchase a $20 grinder, and an $80 coffee maker. This particular machine is hard to maintain and is messy.

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

This is a home machine, not a commercial one. Its water reservoir and coffee bean storage capacity are limited. There's no way this is an appropriate machine for your desired use.

I don't know a couple of cups, but I don't comment more then a bit like a 1/4 cup at a time. You need to leave room for the frothing. It works really well and really fast if you just pour a bit at the bottom- not overloading it. (plus your arm won't hurt) My mistake was putting a lot....then the top froths quickly leaving the bottom to pour out. My recommendation is frothing a bit....it goes a long way anyways :)

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 brew ONE or two cups at a time. Or one tea & one coffee. It does not have a brew delay.

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...

Yes, I believe so. I've never done it, but I'm sure it's possible. It's called a 5-cup Programmable coffee maker.

If u can find a machine.. I think they have discontinued them. I'm having a hard time even finding the machines. You could make anything u want with it. It's built for frappes. Best thing ever invented!!

Yes! And you can make more if you want. All you need to do is ajust the amount of coffee for how much you want to make. You can even do a half cup if thats all you want. You probably have seen all the new coffee makers that you use these plastic cups for single servings. They are great, but to me I think it is a waste and not good for the environment.

I have an 8 cup machine, but if I had to guess I would say YES! I'm fairly certain it was created to fit more than one machine. Give it a try, saving paper rules!

You can make 4 cups. The carafe is stainless but we don't think the reservoir is. This machine is very heavy, and we regret buying it because the reservoir must always be full and the machine must always be "on."

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.
