can I brew one cup right after another, or does it have to cool down a bit first?

The instructions are to wait 5 minutes between brewing cycles but I have brewed in succession with no apparent damage. I sometime use the cup as a carafe to pour two smaller cups and then brew another in a few minutes.

Yes but why not use your bigger coffee maker? You will love this coffee maker!

Yes you can but why if you are going to brew multiple cups why use a one cup coffee maker?????

You can't bake loaves immediately one after the other. You have to let the machine cool down between loaves. I had the same problem when I first used mine and consulted the owners manual. It states right in it that you have to let it cool down before making another loaf.

Almost immediately; maybe 5 to 10 seconds max. The water in the boiler is already hot, so it only takes seconds to bring the temperature back up after one shot of water is used. By the time you get rid of the puck or used pod and reload the filter, the green temperature light is back on , and you are ready to brew another shot. I do this when making double shots, as getting 2 pods into the filter is difficult and the pump strains to push the water through the extra paper of 2 pods. If you want to brew doubles without having to reload the filter, I recommend using loose grounds, but that's messier than using pods. I prefer the pods, and reloading. Using it for guests should not be a problem. Almost immediately; maybe 5 to 10 seconds max.

Yes. Definitely. And if you're talking about brewing. You're going to be starting around 140-160F from your sparge. It should take about 30 mins to get up to 212F. This is as long as you have 220-240V/30amp power supply.

I have only made either 12 cups or 10 cups - to me not a significant difference in brewing time. It makes sense a smaller pot brewed would take less time. I have learned when the music plays to signal brewing has finished - it has not - that by giving it another 3 to 5 minutes it will completely finish.

There is no delayed brewing. You can flip a switch to brew only one side or both. Both sides brew at the same time and it brews pretty quick. We use it for camping. No glass carafe to clean or break.

If you mean, does it drip from the grounds if a cup is poured before brewing is complete, I would say yes, a drop or two. After brewing is complete and it has set a couple min., I'd say rarely and then, a drop.

Hello Hilde G.No. You don't always have to make 2 cups at once. There are pods especially made for the Cuisinart brewers; for example 'Cuisinart 1 Cup Coffee Pod "Case Of 200"'. (you can search this on Amazon) Thank you for your interest in our products!Sincerely,nGAP, IncorporatedCustomer Support877-477-8701

It's hot enough for me for the first cup, but if I wait too long before going back for more, it has cooled off a bit. I don't mind nuking it for 30 sec in the microwave vs that nasty cooked & burnt taste of coffee left on a burner.

I pretty much agree with all of the prior answers, some in the "it depends" category. You can brew a mug of coffee from pre-ground, or from Breville-ground. Either is in the range of 4-5 minutes.

In my experience there is no wait. As soon as one cup is complete you can start the next cup. I've only used the automatic one touch feature.There's never been a time the the water wasn't hot or any other "wait" issue I can think of.

Immediately pressing the button again after first pressing it to brew just simply pauses the brew. After using a capsule once, technically you could brew a second time with it - but please don't. The capsules are made for single use and the second brew wouldn't taste right. I always want a larger cup of coffee, so I typically use 2 capsules and fill my cup with 2 of the "double espresso" (aka the larger button of the two size options). This comes out to about the size of a typical American cup of coffee - but stronger!

With the brew temp set at the default (192 degrees F) a medium size cup takes 1 minute and 7 seconds. There are three cup sizes so naturally it would take slightly less time for the smaller cup and more for the larger cup.

Hi Faye,If the coffee seems to cool too quickly for you, you can try preheating the cup by brewing a cup of hot water into your cup to heat it up. Or you can reheat the cup in the microwave after brewing.

No, just to start and stop brewing, you have to keep an eye on the water level though as that is related to the intensity. Pretty easy and straight forward. I hope this helps.

Sure, you can make just a single cup if you want. Just put in a single tablespoon of coffee grounds, coarse ground, and pour in the amount of hot water that you want.

Yes, you can process 1 cup at a time for pre-ground. You can also setup any of the buttons to be pre-ground all the time.. This way when you select the button, it will automatically call for pre-ground coffee.
