Does the 2-6 cup Rapid Brew make 1 big mug of coffee on the 2 cup setting or water line? Is this pot good for making one big mug of coffee?

It depends on how big your mug is. I would recommend that you add the same fl oz to the coffee pot as you want for your mug and adjust the coffee strength to your liking. For a full put of coffee I use 4 heaping tablespoons and the coffee is fantastic. I have made 1/2 a pot using 2 heaping tablespoons and the coffee is great! I have also added a small piece of cinnamon stick (1 inch or so) to the coffee to give it a slight cinnamon taste. It is really good. You can also substitute the cinnamon with vanilla bean, just as good! Hope this helps.

I usually fill it to about 3 cups, then once ot starts boiling, i let it continue to boil for about 3-4 mins. It gives me a large mug full with a little bit left in the bottom of the pot.

Actually the pot has a 4-cup and a 6-cup marking, but no 2-cup marking. Filling it up to almost the 4-cup marking fills up my big mug. Yes it is great for making one big mug of coffee.

It's actually great for smaller batches. Just make sure that you adhere to the proper ratio when brewing: two level tablespoons ground coffee to every 6oz water and your coffee will be rich and bold.

I only brewed a mug of coffee once but I would guess about 3-4 minutes. I had it on the mild setting though. The mug was not as strong as the pot. If you like strong coffee then I would definitely recommend this coffee maker.

Of course this can make one serving of coffee instead of 4!!!! But I usually fill the water to the top cuz I drink 1 big cup instead of 6oz or 8oz. Depending how big your cup is, mine is at least 12oz or so and that's why I fill the water to the top!!! You can make it for 6/8oz and fill the water for 1 small cup.

I have the 12 cup brewer and love it. It is my second one as my previous one quit working after many years of service. I love the 'aroma' button as it brews coffee better. As for pouring out of the glass pot, if I pour water into the water channel too quickly, it will over pour and spill - must pour slowly and through the center of the spout, as with any coffee pot. I don't have spills pouring coffee unless I am in a hurry and pour quickly. Hope this answers your concerns. Would I purchase this pot again! Most definitely as I feel it is better than any other one out there.

This pot works well for me. I did notice that when I put 8 cups of water in my old pot I only got 7 cups out so it was too strong. I adjusted the water. This one I get out about what I put in. I really like this coffee maker.

Hello AS. I have not had a problem with my same coffee maker. It has worked at our expectations, and we are heavy coffee drinkers. Two pots brewed per day and weekends at least four. This includes brewing teas & hot water for soups and such. Hope this helps. I did buy a similar product years ago from the Navy Exchange. Called customer service to have repaired/replaced under warranty. No problem gave me address to mail to four days later my replacement arrived and I had just send the broke one back. I can't complain about that. Good product and my experience, "THEY STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT".

It makes one 3 ounce cup of coffee. Not exactly what I was wanting, so I returned the pot. Unfortunately the pot I wanted has been discontinued.

This is my favorite little dude for making a nice cup of coffee. We use the V60 03 for makingour Iced Coffee...It takes 3 hours for us to make 2 Gallons of coffee with the big ones. You don'twant to make multiple 'cups' of Hot coffee with a bigger filter. :)

1. Yes, it does brew a single cup of coffee2. I don't know if the carafe stays hot for 3 hours. I used all the coffee at one time.

yes it can - however it will take as long to make 1 cup as 4. You would scale down your water and coffee amounts to 1 cup ratio. I do not think it was designed with intention of regular one cup usage. but - you can do it.

I don't believe this machine is suitable for single cups of coffee. It could be done but would require experimentation for the amount of beans to use and how much water to add. I have made 4 cup pots consistently with this unit.

I have the 6 cup Moka Express and its great for making about two 3 ounce cups of coffee. I could drink the whole thing myself, but its enough to share!

Yes, my husband makes just a few cups at a time. You put in enough coffee and water for two cups and allow the press to work. The pot does not need to be filled to capacity to make coffee. Just a trick to keep your ratios right.

My coffee is HOT when I set the timer for the next morning. I fill it with cold water the night before and when I wakeup, the coffee is HOT!! Do not use the 4 cup button for 6 cups.

Yes, know your issue completely. We don't often brew to capacity but when we do have guests, it can be embarrassing bec. if lady luck is not with us, we would have the puddle and the stream running off the counter. Six/Eight cups would be fine for a second round of coffee for family. However, we had to worry if we had a full house esp. w/ a repeat round of coffee. Tried to temper down the amt for some events and do smaller batches. Sometimes a success; other times a flooded counter and floor. No logic to examine possible reasons.

Sure! Just put less coffee in the filter, and use less water -- to brew 2 cups, for example, just use half the coffee and water you would for a full pot. Be aware, though, that an "official" cup of coffee is just 6 ounces (5 ounces for hot tea, in case you were wondering!). So if you drink a mug of morning coffee, be sure to make at least half a pot (2 cups).
