How many *ounces* of coffee does it make? That is, how many ounces does Presto consider a "cup"? (I've seen the coffee industry use 4, 5 or 6 ounces.)

I own one, and wondered about the same thing. ( The 12 cup one) So I measured how many 8 oz cup it would hold. I found out it holds 7 8 oz cups plus 1/4 cup+ two more ounces. So their cup is smaller than and actual cup. 58 oz divided by 12= 4.83 oz.

Ref: The 6 cup Presto coffee pot. I measured 30 oz of fluid to reach the 6 cup mark, 5 oz cups. My coffee cups at home are 11 oz. One level scoop of coffee grounds for this pot makes a weak 6 cups of coffee, heaping makes about right strength for me.

Ibeller79 is correct in that a standard cup is 8 oz. When talking about coffee, a cup is 6 oz. therefore your typical "mug" is probably 10 to 12 oz. When measuring coffee each scooper is calculated per 6 oz. cup therefore you probably do 2 scoopers per mug or 8 or 9 scoopers for an 8 cup coffee maker and get 4-5 mugs of coffee. A demi-tasse cup (espresso) is 4 oz.)

The coffee percolator only makes about 6 to 8 cups I would say 8 ounce cups

All coffee brewers I have seen list capacity as the maximum amount of water that can be used at the start of brewing, not the amount of finished coffee you end up with. If cups capacity is listed it is "coffee cups" which are typically 4 ounces (Europe) to 5 ounces (USA) size and can be as small as 1.5 ounces for "Mokka" type Italian coffee makers. Approximately two ounces of water are absorbed by the grounds per ounce of ground coffee used so you always end up with less coffee than the water you started with.

This is actually a very small cup of coffee. Cup of coffee as served in Italy. For me, it's 2 cups of coffee :) Number of cups can not be varied, only 6 cups.

it yields about 1 1/2 ounces per cup. I have a 6-cup model and it gives me 8-9 ounces of coffee. Their "cups" are espresso cups, about 1 1/2 ounce cups.

Ours holds an actual 9 cups of water. I think they consider 6 oz a "cup" of coffee. As I said before, my husband loves this coffee maker. I'm not a coffee drinker but if he says it's good I believe him.�

No The expresso maker shown makes 12oz of expresso. One can dilute the expresso to make coffee. Eight ounces of expresso could make 6 cups of coffee, not for me but some people might like it.Gary

It makes an 6 to 10 oz cup of coffee per pod. I hesitated 2 years buying this and could now kick myself. This is the best coffee maker I have ever owned. I enjoy every cup so much.

This unit makes a shot up to a cup of coffee (5oz). The HD8751/47 unit makes a "tall" coffee. But if you want to stick with this unit you can adjust your bean level and the amount of water for the brew. Then you can do two 4 oz cups to make the 8 ounce. I have this unit. A friend has the "tall" unit. I think it is worth the extra money.

Most instant coffee shows about 190 six ounce cups. For 24-oz you may get 380 cups. This of course depends on how strong you like your coffee. For me over use of coffee creates bitterness.

This coffeemaker has a maximum capacity of 60 ounces. One cup of coffee is equal to 5 fluid ounces. This is the industry standard. Please make sure to fill the water reservoir using your decanter instead of a standard measuring cup.

When it says 6 cups, it means Italian expresso cups which are a Little Bigger than a shot. This makes about 12 to 14 oz of coffee, but its smaller for a reason. This type of brewing turns coffee into expresso style which is much stronger.

8 oz. in a cup. 2 cups in a pint. 2 pints in a qt. etc... But this seems to hold about 48 oz. I guess a cup of coffee is 6 oz.

Standard size cup that coffee makers use. I think that means 5 or 6 oz. I get two mugs out of a four-cup brew.

By measurement, 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces. The TF5 4-cup Coffeemaker makes FOUR 5-oz. cups of brewed coffee. So not 4 mugs of coffee. The decanter itself holds 4 measured cups of water or 32 oz., but the markings on the decanter for 4 cupis equals 4 x 5 oz = 20 oz. We love this coffee maker, it is compact, and makes great tasting, hot coffee.

Mine makes 28 ounces of pressed coffee, filled to 5/8 of an inch from the top. I use about 1/2 cup of ground coffee. Coffee machines consider 5 ounces to be a cup, so an eight cup pot is 40 ounces. This Bodem Presso does not make 8 cups. I think you could get 30 ounces or 6 cups if you use less coffee or a little more water than I do.If you want 60 ounces of coffee to share with friends, you can double the amount of coffee grounds, fill each cup 1/2 way with strong pressed coffee, and add an equal amount of boiled water to each cup.
