I bought this coffee maker specifically to make one/ two cups of coffee daily and it works great!  You can easily adjust the  amount of coffee needed to make your desired strength.  Makes really good coffee and love the stainless steel carafe.  Also, this coffee maker takes up so little space in the kitchen and can easily move it around. This is the second Cuisinart coffee maker we have and both work great. I would not hesitate to purchase this coffee maker again.
