What is the capacity of these coffee pots in fluid ounces? Does the 8-ounce pot = 64 ounces (2 quarts)? Or are they using some other volume for a "cup"?

Although it is correct to say that 1 cup of liquid measurement is equal to 8 ozs. when it comes to a "cup of coffee" the measurement is then 6 ozs which is the size of a "standard" cup of coffee whne served in an actual dinner set "cup"

Ours is out in the camper (and it is raining cats and dogs!) so I am not going to go measure it. BUT, I can say we get a couple cups of coffee each out of it, enough for breakfast for the two of us. They might be quoting the pot filled to the brim with liquid (which is obviously not how it would be used) so if you are really in the market for one that holds a lot of coffee, like for 4 people or something, you might want to keep looking. I do like it a lot though, and would buy another one if aliens took this one. (Which, luckily, hardly happens anymore.)

These GSI pots are 5 fluid ounces for each 'cup'. An '8 cup pot' can brew 40oz of coffee, less a bit for steam and water absorbed by the grounds. The smallest cup of coffee on the Starbucks menu is 12oz. Most coffee cups hold 9-15 oz. So, if you want 64oz (about 5-6 average mugs of coffee), you will want the '12 cup' pot.

My press has the number of cups of coffee it makes stamped on the frame. An 8 cup press uses a 32oz carafe. Hope that's helpful.

I do believe you mean an 8 CUP not 8 ounce (it is a 32 ounce)... and while I do not own a Starbucks French Press, you can measure the dimensions and check them against the dimensions given in the details of the Bodum carafe profile. Wishing you many good cups...

I measured the contents of the carafe. Although it is marked 8 "cups", the volume is about 40 oz., which means about 5 oz. per "cup". The cup is probably intended to be a standard coffee cup which comes with a plate set - not the common coffee mug which most people use which is about 12 oz. That being said, the Yama makes about 4 standard coffee mugs per pot. I think you'd have to make at least a half pot (2 mugs full) for good results as not all of the water goes up into the top... any less might not provide enough water in the top to actually do the brewing of the grounds.

10 ounces this is the coffee standard for each cup. Softbrew used this for their 2 cup coffee pot.

Hello Dawn,They do hold 21 Fluid Oz. (i.e. liquid). However, if you plan to use them for other type of content with a greater density, such as tea leaves, ground coffee, etc. then you're right it will hold less. Since other contents besides liquid differ on density, fluid ounces is normally used to describe the capacity of a container.Hope I answered your question.Eddie G.PERFUME TRADER AMAZON

Good question. 6 fluid ounces in a "cup." For some reason this is typical on coffeemakers, perhaps since before we started using mugs, which these days can easily hold 12 ounces, there were "coffee cups" that typically held 6 ounces of coffee. I just measured and 24 ounces came to about the 4 cup mark on the water reservoir.

A cup as a unit of liquid measure is 8 oz, but many coffee cups in sets of dishes are only 6 oz. Presumably, this cup would be either 160 fluid oz, or 120 fl.oz. A gallon is 128 fl. oz.

Not sure of total oz in one pot, however 1 cup of coffee is definitely not 8 oz. Believe each cup is approx 5-6 oz. In 10 cup carafe we get a bit more than 4 cups/mugs.

1 quart. Mine have worked fine. Unlike the carafe that comes with my coffee maker they keep the coffee hot for hours.How you "explode" a mirrored vacuum bottle if you take reasonable care escapes me. It is glass if you beat it up it will obviously will break.

Every coffee pot I've ever used is measured in 5 oz. cups; therefore a 12-cup pot would hold 60 oz.

No, 4 is the least amount you can do with this one - it seems as if with any coffee pot, their cups do not hold out to a regular cup so I am not sure if they go by 6 oz. cups or 8 oz. cups. I hope this answers your question(s).

Ok. I just measured....it holds 27 ounces but that is filled to the very top. You would only want to put approximately 20 ounces of liquid in it so that you can use it without worrying about overflow. This volume would be more than enough for two cups of coffee. It really does a great job of fluffing up your milk and making a substantial, long-lasting foam.

The custom in measuring coffeemakers in the US has long been 5 fluid ounces per cup. An ordinary measuring cup for cooking is 8 fluid ounces. Hence the confusion.

The box says that 1 cup (of coffee) is 4 fluid ounces/120mL. I just checked however, and I was able to get 60 fluid ounces in.

I see someone responded "1 quart". I measured it and it holds 8 cups of water easily = 2 quart

8 ounce is correct. It says 120 6oz cups. You must realize this is 1/2 pound of freeze dried coffee granules. It's a generous sized jar and being a multi-pack - well - it lasts me quite a long time and I drink it in a 16oz mug. Hope this helps.
