How many cups does it actually brew?

It is rated for two cups, which in drip-brewer terms means roughly two 5-ounce cups. Fill the tank to the marked line for a full pot.

Does the water tank come out?

Yes. The water tank is removable, so you can carry it to the sink to fill and rinse instead of pouring into a fixed reservoir.

No. It brews when you switch it on, with no programmable timer or clock. You start each pot by hand.

It uses standard basket-style paper filters. Check the filter basket size before buying a box, since small two-cup brewers take smaller filters.

Yes. Two cups is a sensible single-serve-plus-one size, and the small footprint suits a desk or a tight counter.

It is simpler and cheaper to own than a pod machine, with no pods to buy, but it gives you no pod variety, timer or large-pot capacity.
