Is it true I have to grind twice to make 8 cups if coffee

It depends on how strong you like your coffee. We make ours in a 12 cup coffee pot and I put 5 scoops of grounds in. It would take two grinding runs to produce that amount of coffee grounds, however its just a touch of a button and 30 seconds to do it so its relatively quick and pain free.

Maybe. But that depends on how strong you like your coffee. I like my coffe medium strong and I grind for about 7 seconds for a 14oz mug.

Absolutely not. I have used 20 seconds with an empty jar a number of times to brew 8 cups of freshly ground coffee.

Normal, must adjust both coffee and cup desired. Decrease number of cups, but add water to same 10 cup setting. Machine will grind 8 cups setting, but add water for 10.

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.

Ours will just make the 8 cups of coffee, but that's large cups. We love it.

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, but if you want more than a standard size coffee cup you will have to use 2 kcups

When you turn the dial to 2 this gives you enough ground coffee for 2 shots of espresso just grind what you need, you just guess depending on what kind of coffee you drink don't force the timer backwards it will break

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

Yes. There is a selector switch on top of the coffeemaker that allows you to brew a single cup of coffee or two cups at once.

From my experience with only grinding for one pot of coffee per day, I don't think that the container to hold the ground coffee is large enough to hold a full grind of the beans from the top container. My guess is that you would have to do it in two or three batches and that would take a few minutes.

Yes you can brew smaller amounts. I usually make two cups at a time. But it does not press all the way to the bottom with smaller amounts of coffee.

No it does not Dan. The coffee is brewed all at the same time. If you make one cup or eight cups you would have the same taste every time. To have stronger or weaker coffee would be determined by the amount of grounds you use.

It takes me about two minutes to grind enough to make an 8 cup pot of coffee.

Yes- the amount of coffee you want to brew displaces from the resevoir. So if you want to brew the minimum of four cups - fill the caraf up to the 4 cup line, prepare the coffee grounds, pour water in and brew.

Mine makes 28 ounces of pressed coffee, filled to 5/8 of an inch from the top. I use about 1/2 cup of ground coffee. Coffee machines consider 5 ounces to be a cup, so an eight cup pot is 40 ounces. This Bodem Presso does not make 8 cups. I think you could get 30 ounces or 6 cups if you use less coffee or a little more water than I do.If you want 60 ounces of coffee to share with friends, you can double the amount of coffee grounds, fill each cup 1/2 way with strong pressed coffee, and add an equal amount of boiled water to each cup.

By trial and error. It depends on how much coffee you like to use for each cup. If you grind a little more just save it for next time.

Once set #1-#9 every time you grind coffee the texture of the grind is the same. I do not grind more coffee than is used for one pot. Don't know how long you can run the machine before it burns up. Grinding a lot of coffee at once seems to be defeating the purpose of having freshly ground coffee.
