Would it be possible to brew 2 cups of coffee in one go, ie using a #4 with more coffee in it and adding more hot water as it empties?

Yes. Using a pour-over method, I brew 28 grams of coffee using 415 grams of water. This equates to about 2 cups of coffee. Just pour more water over the grounds as space allows.

Technically, yes. You would have to slowly pour the hot water in at a rate equal to the draining and do so over a container large enough to hold both cups at once.

I don't see why you couldn't. If you sit your two cups beside each other, it would not make a mess as you switch from one cup to the other. It is really easy to keep lifting up and checking the level of the coffee in the cup because I keep doing this to see if I have poured enough water. Something I need to try is pouring a cup back through to do a "double brew" to see if I can do my normal amount of coffee grounds. With all the travel drip systems the main complaint was needing to use more grounds for normal strength and this one is the same in those regards. :) Heather

I bought this for my son so have only used it once. As the water initially runs through the cone before slowing down to a drip, I think if you just put in more coffee and boiling water, enough for 2 cups, and use a jug that can hold 2 cups under the cone, rather than a one cup mug, this would probably work. Probably the #2 filter would still work.

Hi, actually, it will perfectly brew two mug-sized cups. put 2 1/2 scoops of coffee. I use this pot every day, and I love it!

I have never tried brewing only 2 cups of coffee. I brew a full pot, and it takes about 15 to 18 minutes. When you pour your water into the reserve, do you have the same problem I do? It pours down the side of the carafe and all over the counter. Or When it is full of coffee and I go to pour my first cup, it pours down the side of the carafe, and I get it all down the front of my white counters. The time frame to brew coffee is ridiculous. The only thing that works great laughingly is the self timer lol.

I'm pretty sure you Can. There are markers to show the amount being brewed. I fill it up, though, and drink out of a large cup (which does not seem to me to actually be four cups).

There is a 4 cup marker on the coffee pot. We have never made 4 cups, but when you pour the water in close the lid the water comes out. Your coffee will absorb some of the moisture so you might want to make 5 to get 4. We love our coffee maker and use it to make tea also. Very fast... with water hot in the holding tank.

Yes you can do it. The coffee container/filter has marks for 2 and 4 cups of grounded coffee, so, you can measure half way up to the "2 cups" mark and you will have coffee to make 1 cup.At the begining, I found kinda hard to measure both time and coffee, but after two or three tries, I found the right amount of coffee and brewing time to have a nice cup of coffee (I usually like very strong coffee, so, I use the 4 cups line to make 2 cups of, i.e., moka).

1. Yes you can make as little as 2-4 cups; you just put in less beans and less water. 2. The coffee maker keeps the coffee hot and stays on for @ 20mins before turning off. 3. Each time you want to brew coffee you have to clean out the grinder and grounds basket, then add water. You can prep it the night before you want to brew. 4. The gold filter is a removable basket, you can use it or paper filters but not both.

Hello Hilde G.No. You don't always have to make 2 cups at once. There are pods especially made for the Cuisinart brewers; for example 'Cuisinart 1 Cup Coffee Pod "Case Of 200"'. (you can search this on Amazon) Thank you for your interest in our products!Sincerely,nGAP, IncorporatedCustomer Support877-477-8701

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

There is a gage on the side for the amount of water to make coffee. It starts at 2 and goes up to 12. So you can make any amount you want. I like to make the 12 cup and save some in the refrigerator for iced coffee or to reheat the next day. It make a great cup of coffee, but watch out it is very hot. I usually put an ice cube in the cup if I use creamora or a powered creamer.

I usually add 2 spoonful (included spoon) of ground (close to espresso) coffee and proceed as instructed to make 2 cups.I usually boil 2-3 cups of water =-add enough water to make coffee and top it after to 2 cups. Coffee is great

No. You put in as much water as you need to make the amount of coffee you want. It all heats, pours through the grinds and becomes coffee.

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.

You can but it won't be as strong unless you put in another little individual coffee. You can set it up however you want.
767461
I dont recommend, bcoz it will taste watery. One single cup at a time. But if you want to brew for 8oz, you can do it at the same time for two cups

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.

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.
