Can you make a partial pot of coffee?

Yes, I do a majority of the time (4 cups) and tastes fantastic. I've gone through many coffee pots and this machine is by far brews the best.

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.

Yes, you can make a half pot of coffee easily by only pouring as much water as needed to give you 4 cups of coffee. It may take a couple tries to get the correct ratio of coffee to water. Yes, the carafe is stainless steel as is the reservoir. We absolutely love this version of BUNN.

Yes you can. The carafe holds 20 oz (actually 22oz if you push the limit a bit), so you can make one cup of coffee any size you want, from a 5 oz demi-cup, to a 22 oz mug's-worth. You decide how much / how many cups you want and just adjust the coffee grounds and water accordingly. No worries.

Yes you can. It includes a K cup reusable filter to brew your own coffee and loose tea

Yes, but as I understand there are pods you can fill with other coffee if interested (I use lavazza)

I think the minimum is 6 cups of coffee which is the bottom line indented inside the pot. (That would make you 4 12 oz. mugs of coffee.) You can do a trial run with just water to see how much less will still be enough for the boiling water to perc up to the basket. You may also have to experiment with perc times and amount of coffee to get the strength you want. With less water you may not need to let it go for 10 minutes. I also found that a strong brand of coffee requires less brewing time. Good luck.

Yes, I usually make only 2-4 cups. I just had to learn to adjust the amount of course ground coffee instead of finely ground.

No, not if you want a full pot of coffee. I filled it to the brim with coffee and got the weakest coffee I've ever had, I dumped the whole pot down the drain.

I would say yes if not tooo fine a grind. It is a fine mesh and if you've ever use a coffee press you would probably get same effect. I haven't done it myself because I don't drink coffee so I don't see why not. Finished pot should contain no grounds. Not to mention that when I was young, my grandmother use to make great coffee by putting the grounds in empty egg shells. The coffee stayed pretty settled at the bottom of the pot inside the egg shells and you poured carefully. So this should work.

Yes you can. I imagine you could even use the single serving coffee bags (that are like tea bags).

Yes! As a matter of fact, when you you brew an entire pot, it is less than 4 cups. That's why we returned it.

Fast answer is YES. I think the grduations start at '3-cups', you will need to adjust the amount of coffee accordingly. NOTE: This pot requires a COARSE GROUND coffee; the standard stuff is ground for use with a filter and is so fine it passes right through the basket. . .

Certainly, just add less coffee/water. There are two lines that are hard to see on the inside of the pot--the bottom line makes a very full large cup, to the top second line gets you about two medium-large cups.

Certainly, I do it all the time. Just realize that the first part of the pot may be a little stronger, but usually if at least half a pot has brewed I do not notice the taste difference.

yes, you can boil water, make coffee and cook. sometimes it takes a while but it will get the job done.

I'm sure you can but I always make a full pot and bought a smaller one for five cups. The 5 cupper gives me two mugs and the 8 cupper gives me 4 mugs. I'm not sure I answered your question but I hope this helped. Also, I love these pots! They make the best tasting coffee! I also bought the metal mesh filter.
