Making small amounts of coffee in a filter-type coffeemaker can be
touchy. I have found that one needs to add water in just the right
gradual profile. (I am using a Melitta cone.) I would not surprise
me if most automatic drip coffeemakers manage to do this suboptimally.

(By "small amounts" I mean two cups, about 14 ounces of liquid coffee
brewed from 1.2 ounces of ground coffee.)
