Can i make a SINGLE demi-tasse cup of espresso with it or it brews a whole mug?

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).

Yes Demi, double tripleOr quad ...but not quite as sweet and strong as a pressure machine but still a good well made strong espresso

You can stop and start it when you want but they say it isnt good to store it under pressure

No, only one pod can be used at a time. Although the BluTigres pods that came with the machine seem to make stronger coffee. The machine also has a volume setting, so you can make 5,8,10 oz cups. If you are switching over from the Senseo machine like we did, you won't be disappointed.

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.

No you can not use your own coffee. The Tassimo reads a bar code on a T-Disk.

Yes you can but honestly I would not recommend this machine. Since we received it it gives an error if it has been several days since it was used and we have to run water through the carafe side before we can use the individual cup side. I wish I had purchased another machine.

10/26/2013YES! you can make one cup of coffee at a time. This is a fantastic dual cup coffee maker and I have been using it now for several months. I bought this coffee maker because my husband and I love a fresh cup on our way to work. Also, the mugs are perfect in size to take with you or use at home. The best part is that you definitely can make only one mug. It even comes with a coffee scoop. I would recommend this and buy it for a present too. Hope I helped.

Yes. I suggest you by-pass the Lavazza & get a Rancillio Sylvia with a PID temperature controller. It's all metal plumbing inside whereas most semi or automatic machines have plastic water lines & connectors. Bought a Saeco automatic which makes marvelous espresso but breaks down every 9 months when a plastic part breaks. I then got Miss Sylvia. Check out videos from Seattle Coffee Gear on You Tube as I think there's one on the Rancillio

There is a single and a double sized cup. The single holds the amount of coffee necessary to make one shot of espresso. Obviously, the double makes two. Oz. wise - that depends on if you like a higher or lower concentration of coffee when you make espresso.

Nope. I always just make one as I like my coffee strong. They are close enough together to both pour into one cup.

Yes. You can adjust how much water is used in that single shot as well. In addition, you can make a latte using another button. I've had my machine for over a year and I highly recommend!

If there is a way, I don't see how you could. I just looked at mine and as you leave the "filter" range and enter the "espresso" range" (moving from left to right) it automatically switches from cups to shots. I suppose you would have to work out how many shots would equal cups and go from there. The machine assumes that when you are in the espresso area that you are trying to fill one portafilter (1or 2 shots.)

I gave this as a gift, but as the name suggests: Single usually means for one cup. However, if you prefer a more dilute tea, you might be able to get a couple of cups out of one brew.

The machine has a bypass valve so that you can use whole beans or ground coffee. The main point of the bypass is so that if you have regular beans in the hopper, you can make a cup of decaff using through the bypass (or vice versa). But you can only make one shot at a time, one tablespoon of coffee at a time. So, technically yes, you can make coffee with ground espresso, but it would be highly impractical to use that for anything other than the occasional cup.

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 need to add the coffee after it brews. This machine does not combine steamed milk w coffee or espresso at the same time

Sure. You'll have to play with the amount of coffee and water to get the number of cups and strength you like but you can make anything from a single cup up to six.

There is a 1-4 cup button but have never tried one cup only. I don't think there would be enough water to brew the coffee properly.
