Can you make 2 cups of regular coffee at the same time ??

In my experience it is best to make only one cup at a time because I like strong coffee so you will want the double dose to go into one cup.

Yes you can, I am an expert on commercial coffee machines and I have to say that this little machine is really not bad. Not to be compared with one of the big ones like Saeco but what comes out, can be strong and pretty good. Only thing it is a little messy but that is the handle system. It is certainly a step towards the big ones until one can afford it. You can make a regular cup of coffee by using the double filter and let it run two cycles with the same powder. or the single filter and one double cycle. If you want a stronger one press the coffee powder good in the filter but careful not too much and not too high so that the filter has problems going in its place. AR

I have always done two shots for one large cappuccino. I assume you could do just one but the markings on the carafe are for two and for four shots. I do not see why you could not adjust it. And no, it does not grind the coffee. It is quite a simple machine: it does regular coffee or espresso (and steams milk).

Absolutely. Just use less water and less ground coffee. Their "cup" is 6 ounces and for 2 cups they suggest 1.5 tablespoons of ground coffee. So 8 ounces of water and one tablespoon of ground coffee is just about right for a "real" size cup. You can also just put water through it without the ground coffee and pour the hot water into a cup with instant coffee. Don't put any instant coffee anywhere in the machine. - charles

I normally make a 12 cup brew, and it takes about the same time, so I'm not sure why your 2 cup brew would be as long?? My theory is to make 12 cups at one time, and microwave the coffee in my cup for the next couple days, but if you have an aversion to that, it actually doesn't change the flavor! I can't imagine that a 2 cup brew would take as long as a 12 cup brew, but maybe it's inherent in the brewing process??

Yes. I usually make 1-1/2 cups (typical-size mug cup) of coffee for myself. It doesn't make 8 cups of coffee unless a cup is very, very small.

This machine only allows 2 small espresso at a time. Call the different companies and ask if they make any semi-automatic machines that will make 4 cups at a time.

I do that all the time - I like it stong so I pack it pretty good and put half the water and make two double espressos - just as often, when I am making a double just for me,I simply use less coffee and 1/4 or 1/3rd water - you must experiment to get what u like. They tell you not to "pack" or tamp the coffee down but I do anyway - hahaha.

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.

We run a 4 cup brew every morning. There's a notch for 2 cups as well, so I'm assuming you could very well do a 3 cup brew if you needed to.

No, I never use more than one K-Cup...it all just depends on how strong you like your coffee to be. If you have a super big mug though, I might double up. Sometimes I do combine flavors though. Keeps things interesting! Enjoy your Keurig!

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

yes but the coffee does not separate perfectly to two halves i mean the two cups will not always get same level of coffee

No, you can only use one at a time. I like strong coffee, so I use larger pods - Baronet has good coffee in 10 and 12 gram pods that you can use one at a time and still get a strong brew when you use the 5 oz setting per pod/brew. So, I end up using a mug for a 10 oz cup so I have to brew twice. I think it's hotter than the Senseo, so you don't end up with cold coffee though.

No. It comes out as strong as you want. I always use a "rounded tablespoon" per cup, just as my mother taught me. I can make two cups per filter; that is, one cup after another filtered into a two-cup container. I have got completely used to the rapid drip through this holder and believe that anything slower is just a waste of time. Buy good coffee and you can't go wrong.

Yes, you can brew one cup into your own mug. We elevate the mug using a ramekin to prevent splashing.

One cup would be difficult as there is a minimum amount of water you need to put in there to get it to work. Two cups would be OK...but keep in mind, the larger the pot of coffee, the better it works.
