Can you brew one cup of coffee at a time into your own mug or do you need to use the travel mugs

Yes, you can brew one cup into your own mug. We elevate the mug using a ramekin to prevent splashing.

You need to make the one cup using the mugs that come with it. I'm pretty sure it would splash down into an open coffee cup and make splatters all over the place. The mugs are insulated. Why wouldn't you want to use them?

I believe (by talking to my sister-who I bought the item for) that she said she can do one cup of coffee at a time

It is necessary to use the travel mugs or the thermal pot only because the height of coffee output is about 7 inches to drip tray. Splashing and coffee cools down too much. It's a little work, but I use splitter basket, put half of coffee in each side, and brew into the thermal pot. This works well for me. I make about 24oz of hot, strong coffee that keeps fresh and hot long enough to linger 2 hours [if I want] between 10-12oz servings in one of my favorite mugs..................

You can but it won't be as strong unless you put in another little individual coffee. You can set it up however you want.

You could do 1 cup but you'd have to put at least a couple of teaspoons of coffee because of the basket-shaped filter - so you'd be wasting coffee if you made less than two cups.

Yes - you have to purchase a separate little filter and take out the K-cup holder in the Keurig itself, but you can use your own grounds. The 2.0 versions of Keurig which are the newest models on the market will not allow this. So if you want to brew your own, then you will have to purchase a model number that precedes the 2.0 - which is why I bought this one

I have never tried to use my own coffee with my pod maker. Not sure if you can or not. To use my own coffee, I use myKeurig.

No. You test the 4 cup or mug settings, with the type of coffee you use. my wife likes weaker coffee, she uses a breakfast blend, set 1 position from the right, just before travel mug size. For some cups, hot cocoa for instance, we use the middle setting, for stronger taste. Experiment and find what's right for you., but I would never use 2 k cups. shop around your grocery store and online for economical cups.

I don't drink coffee in the morning, but my wife does, I use a measuring cup to add the water, and I use 12/3 cups (one and two thirds cups) of water, which makes two of our sized cups of coffee. We don't use mugs. We use the extra brew cycle.

Definitely, I usually brew just one cup for my husband each morning. Takes less than 5 minutes. This is definitely worth the money, the cups alone would cost nearly what the pot costs.

Yes you can. It includes a K cup reusable filter to brew your own coffee and loose tea

There is a 1-4 cup button but have never tried one cup only. I don't think there would be enough water to brew the coffee properly.

Using the pods are easier. The coffee is already measured out and has it's own filter. Using coffee grounds you would have to know how much coffee to use for each cup plus find some way to keep the coffee grounds from getting into the coffee cup.

I'm sure you can but I always make a full pot and bought a smaller one for five cups. The 5 cupper gives me two mugs and the 8 cupper gives me 4 mugs. I'm not sure I answered your question but I hope this helped. Also, I love these pots! They make the best tasting coffee! I also bought the metal mesh filter.

It really only makes one cup at a time. I suppose you could make two, small weak cups of coffee - but I prefer mine strong - so it just makes one cup.

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

1 single cup, if you're using something like an Aeropress. It isn't as good for grinding enough for a pot of coffee for several people. You probably want something electric or just larger for that.

I don't even use the travel mug because I like the way a ceramic mug feels. I use a pretty big mug that's wide and it does just fine....you can always use a large cup and pour the contents into your own travel mug.

Yes, you can brew just one or 2 cups. However, I drink out of a full size cup. The 4 cup Mr. Coffee ... really only brews 2 good size cups of coffee for me ... which is great . It has been a good little coffeemaker since I bought it. It being rated as a 4 cup coffeemaker ... must refer to those little white styrofoam cups.
