For me it makes two nice size cups of coffee. It might make six espresso cups. Thanks for asking.

It makes 6 cups but if you fill the espresso cups to the brim like I do, you're lucky to get 4 cups. If you just want to make 1 cup, they do sell the 1 cup version as well.

1 qt will about cover the blade. 3 cups is about the minimum batch size. Because of the shape of the blade, batches less than three cups will spin and freeze but with very little overrun (aeration).

Just put in as much grounds and water as you need. My first cup in the morning is always a full 16oz cup, but I often make only an 8oz cup.

I'd be willing to say about 10-12 cups we do an 8 cup recipe and it has plenary more power and room for a good 2- 4 cups maybe even more! Hope this helps.

Im not sure, Im a single guy, so I only do a cup at a time. I would say, and this is a guess, 10 cups.

You are not supposed to use just one cup. If you use it correctly, it might work. The minimum is .5 liters which is a little over two cups. So many people seem not to follow instructions

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

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.

I posted the exact dimensions in a previous answer. You can make from 2 to 8 cups.

Yes -- you can just add less water/coffee. I usually make 2-4 cups each time. The max is like 10-12 cups, I think.

Yes, you can make as many cups as you want up to eight. You simply use less scoops of coffee and the press does just as great of a job on smaller amounts. One of the best purchases we have ever made!

I have made 4 large cups one after the other, which could be the same as 6 smaller cups. You need to be careful not to touch any metal.

No. Just fill to how many cups you want. Had it for awile now and love it for the value.

you can add the equivalent of the cup size you are using. I typically use two cups just in case I want a second.

Usually a minimum of 1 cup. Check the instruction manual to see if your model can take less -- or needs more (like a cup and a quarter). You can also use chicken broth or other liquid.

I would say an easy 3 cups. I usually make only 1 cup and with that I'm using about 1/3 of the bag.
