Can you make 3 or 6 cups with this if you reduce the amount of coffee and water?

You could, but the coffee will be probably not as good as making the whole pot because it quite difficult to get it right when doing less than the full amount. I would advise making the full pot of coffee and just drink the amount you want. If you are going to drink regularly 3 to 6 cups then I think it would be better to buy the smaller pot. Hope this helps

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.

Yes! And you can make more if you want. All you need to do is ajust the amount of coffee for how much you want to make. You can even do a half cup if thats all you want. You probably have seen all the new coffee makers that you use these plastic cups for single servings. They are great, but to me I think it is a waste and not good for the environment.

When I received the 3 cup pot in the mail, I realized it was too small for the amount of espresso that my husband & I drink in the morning. It makes approximately 3/4 cup of espresso total, which is less than the two of us is willing to share. I sent it back and ordered the 6 cup size instead and it makes about 1 1/2 cups when finished and then we add milk or cream to make it a larger cup. The 6 cup pot is NOT large but the perfect size for the two of us. It makes like 8-12 oz of coffee.

You can, this press is great but maybe you need a smaller press, I use my to cold brew coffee I always brew 12 cups. Just remember some preses including this one say 12 cups but 12 6oz cups not a true 8oz. Plus you need to add coffee this lowers the fluid volume as well. So completely full coffee and water yields just about 37oz. I love the press. Let me know if you want a cold brew lesson lol.

Yes, you can. Four cups is really equal to 2 mugs. Set the Aroma button so it drips slower.

Yes if you do not put any coffee. But the amount will be equal to a double espresso. You can repeat this action over and over until the amount desired. You need to be careful to watch your water tank.

You don't need as much coffee with this maker. Try using 3-4 scoops. I find you use a lot less coffee than other brands.

Yeah, you can't make one or two cups in these, all the water boils off and there is not enough to go up the middle. You might be able to get away with four cups, but we usual did at least six cups of water.

1. Yes you can make as little as 2-4 cups; you just put in less beans and less water. 2. The coffee maker keeps the coffee hot and stays on for @ 20mins before turning off. 3. Each time you want to brew coffee you have to clean out the grinder and grounds basket, then add water. You can prep it the night before you want to brew. 4. The gold filter is a removable basket, you can use it or paper filters but not both.

5 cups of liquid. Of course, use less liquid if you are adding ingredients.

Yes. There is an adjustment that will slow down the dripping through the ground coffee so you can use a smaller amount of water and coffee to brew the amount you want. I use this every day to make just one large mug of coffee. It might take you a few times to get just the right amount of water and coffee to suit your taste, but it does make a great cup of coffee.

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.

You can, but it's tricky to get the coffee ratio right because there's always some water left in the bottom that dilutes the rest when it siphons back down in. You don't notice it that much when you're doing 4 cups or more, but I think if you're looking to only brew 1-2 cups at a time you'd be better off with a French Press.

Yes it can make from one to four cups and that is in your control. You choose on how many cups of water you put in and also how how much coffee you put in for the kind of strength you want.

You can definatrly make 2 cups in it. I do it often because I drink alone during the day... 2-3 "cups" is a mug full. Every morning we make 6 cups except on weekends we make 8.

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
