Does this coffee maker allow you to brew, say 2 cups, when the water reservoir and bean bin are full? Or do you have to fill both to match the number

The coffee bean bin can be full no matter how many cups you want to brew. You add the correct amount of water to match the number of cups you select on the dial each time you brew coffee. There is not a "reservoir" of water that is always full.

The reservoir has to match the amount of cups u want to brew but the bean bin can be full all the time. Be careful this pot tends to leak out the sides if u don't slide it in just right

It will grind the beans for the amount you tell it, but it will filter all the water that is in the tank through. Thus, you can't fill the water bin full if you only want 2 cups.

You can make as much or little as you would like, the only thing is you cannot put more water in than you want coffee to come out. If you would like 2 cups of coffee, only put in 2 cups of water.

We usually fill a medium Chick-fil-a coffee cup two times with water and set the 2-10 button to six . This combination makes two cups of coffee the strength we prefer. I also found the gold filter messy and time consuming , I removed it from the holder and use 8 to 12 cup basket-style paper filters, which works fine for us. Hope this answers your question. Bob

You can make as many cups as you'd like. I've filled this half-way before using less coffee and it's fine. I've owned this for a few months now and use it regularly, and it has been a great purchase!

There are separate water reservoirs for the single serve and carafe sides. It is basically 2 machines attached that use the same control panel. You flip a switch between the two sides. I'm not sure how many cups of water the single serve side will take. We usually fill it from the cup we want it to brew into so we always have just what we need.

Hmmmm....that is odd. Did you accidentally choose a reduced cup brew? I think it has that choice I. Programming, however, I have never used it. I have never had mine brew only 1/2 a pot either.

Yes, my husband makes just a few cups at a time. You put in enough coffee and water for two cups and allow the press to work. The pot does not need to be filled to capacity to make coffee. Just a trick to keep your ratios right.

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

If it's like mine, it has the option to only brew 1-4 cups. You may have set it on that by accident, Look in the lower left corner of the display and see if it reads 1-4 cups.

No. There is actually a small hole just above the 4 cup mark so the water would run out. It is a very fast coffee maker though so you might be able to just quickly make an extra cup.

The cup that the brewer comes with is rather small. I use my own big cup and add extra coffee grounds in the basket. I don't know the volume of my cup but it's a big cup, so the brewer can brew like almost 2 regular cups of coffee. Hope this helps.

you put in how many beans you want grinded, you put in how much water you want ------ the insulated metal container only holds 1/2 as much water/coffee as a glass container. Hence it is easy to put too much water in the machine and hence it overflows,,, it brews however much water you put in it. You have no clue how much coffee is in the container as it brews. so you only know it is full when it spill on your computer.

Not to my knowledge. I would put less water for a smaller amount of coffee. This coffee maker lasted less then six months. I have given up on Mr.Coffee makers

The reservoir holds a little more than 1 liter (1 quart) of water to the max fill line. Enough for four 8 oz cups of coffee, or two 16 oz cups (which is what I use.)

Yes you can make any quantity of cups you wish. However much water you pour into the coffee maker (after the reservoir is full) is how much you get out.

Yes, You put the whole beans in their compartment, fill water tank with water, set machine to brew.The machine will start the process of brewing you great cup of coffee.

This model just holds the amount in a styrofoam cup. Some other models have a reservoir so you can brew more than one cup without filling up with water.

Hi. When I make a full cup, extra water, leave the second coffee pod in the machine, then hold the big button down, the one with the silver circle around it. Hold down until water no longer comes out. Now you have a full cup.

It has a reservoir. The down side of this is that if the coffee maker sits over the weekend, water evaporates and if you make your coffee then the results are not that good. On Monday mornings, I always pour in one pot of new water, then go about doing other stuff. I then I place coffee in the filter and pour in a second pot of new water. It works (and tastes!) much better that way.
