> “What do you guys do when you just want one cup of coffee?” Adler had wondered this many times himself. He’d grown increasingly frustrated with his coffee maker, which yielded 6-8 cups per brew. Why can’t you put just enough water and coffee in a standard coffee maker to make only one cup? My coffee maker came with a manual that said, “Always make a full pot”, but I never understood the reasoning behind that. (And admittedly never tried making just one cup to see what happens.)
