Can it brew different amounts? Say 4 oz or 8 oz or 12?

No it can't. At least without standing there and hitting the stop button, and running hot water thru the used pod....it is also very loud and hard to find pods for. Unless ordering them online. But not too many choices.

There are 2 buttons for brews, one for expresso which is 2 oz and the other for coffee which is 8 oz. When I make an expresso, I usually press the button twice unless I want it that strong.

No. It just does one cup at a time. We love it because we have a lot of people who are all particular about their coffee.

I haven't figured out how. It only does the smallest the first time...so I waste a pod :(

It really depends on how much flavor you want. I use two packets for 12 oz of water.

It is possible, but might not make sense. The kit is set up for a more standard batch size. It would be harder to divide up all the ingredients from the way they are packaged. You could also order all of the brewing ingredients separately in different amounts. Different sized fermenter or brew kettle? It takes a few weeks to ferment and a couple weeks to condition if you

4 tablespoons seems like a lot of tea to put into 12 oz. This infuser will certainly work well for 4 teaspoons. For 4 tablespoons, it will hold that much tea, but the water circulation while brewing won't be very good, I think.

Not with this version, which will make as little as about 4 cups and still give you decent coffee. However they do make a 22oz. version, which you can find on Amazon, and I believe that one will make as little as 2 cups (10 oz). Someone said there is a one cup version also, but I haven't seen it.

It depends on how strong you like your coffee. For 8 oz I would suggest two heaping tablespoons. You can adjust it up or down the next time.

If a cup is 8 ozs, then 12 cups would be 96 ozs! If the carafe holds 96 ozs of water, then you would have 12 cups! I have never measured this! When the coffee is gone, I make more! The mugs I use are larger than 8 ozs, so I don't really know how many actual 'cups' my mug holds? I may never know, because I'm not going to measure it! I have other more fun things to do!!!

You'd have to brew at least 2x, possibly more depending how strong you like your coffee... using a medium roast & the pulse cycle I get a cup that works for me (think dunkin donuts strength) at about 12oz. It can only hold one pod at a time, it does brew super fast though.

Yes it can make what ever you want. To make your requested 11 oz cup of coffee you would need to use 1 nespresso capsule and 10 oz of milk. Keep in mind this is an espresso machine. One capsule makes about 1 Oz or 2.5 OZ of coffee that's it - to make more you need to use more capsules.

They make a 4 cup and 5 cup model. I bought the 4 cup. I fill it to the top, but there was or is a 5 cup model that I owned previously. I didn't realize it when I bought it. The cups are only 6 oz, not 8 oz, why they do it that way escapes my logic, but look for the 5 cup model in the descriptions.

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.

It does not make 8 cups. What that means is 8, 4-oz cups (a European sized coffee). It will make 32-oz at one time. Regular, U.S.-sized coffee cups are about 10-12 oz. each, so if you are looking to make a ton of coffee, you cannot. I generally make 32-oz in the morning and it gives me a cup for my husband and nearly 2 cups for me.

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.

We use about 1oz to a 12oz mug, that equates to about 70-75 8oz cups. Depends on your taste as to how strong you make it.

Lynn - I would say it makes four 6-ounce cups. However, I've found that if you add another 8 ounces of water during or at the end of the brewing process that you can get a true 5 cups out of it. Andy

You can order 3 different sizes starting with 1.25 oz and going to 4 and then 8 oz.

No The expresso maker shown makes 12oz of expresso. One can dilute the expresso to make coffee. Eight ounces of expresso could make 6 cups of coffee, not for me but some people might like it.Gary
