I must have at least a dozen coffeemakers, yet I only drink 1 1/2 mugs
in the morning... I never drink coffee for the rest of the day.

My Cusinart ADC is a 12 cupper but also has a setting for 2-4 cups,
that's the setting I use for when it's just me... the hot water takes
about twice as long to flow through the grinds... that setting
actually makes better coffee than when making the full pot. Sometimes
I'll use that setting to brew a full pot, just takes about twice as
long as it explains that the water is double heated. It's a good unit
at a good price, it's been used every day since 10/06/2006. The only
feature I don't like is there's no water gauge on the exterior, the
fill gauge is inside and requires looking down into a dark abyss,
really need a bright LED flashlight, fortunately the glass caraffe is
calibrated. I don't bother with their water filter thingie as I use
RO filtered water... also explains why the water quality is more
important than the coffee quality:
