It says 8 cup but it does not make nearly that much?

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.

they are referring to small coffee cups, not a mug. It is about 3 cups. Since my husband and I would fight over that 2nd cup, we switched to the larger 51 oz. press.

I suspect that when they say "8 Cups" they mean 8 smallish coffee cups full. One pressing fills my large travel mug with some to spare. It's definitely on the smaller side, but without being able to keep it hot, I'd prefer that anyway

It does not make 8 cups. What that means is 8, 4-oz cups (a European sized coffee). It will make 32-oz at one time. Regular, U.S.-sized coffee cups are about 10-12 oz. each, so if you are looking to make a ton of coffee, you cannot. I generally make 32-oz in the morning and it gives me a cup for my husband and nearly 2 cups for me.

It makes 32 oz or 4 8 oz cups. They must consider a "cup" of coffee to be 4 oz. By the way, I love it, very durable and makes great coffee.

I recommend checking out items in stores before you buy them online whenever possible.... All of the bands of French press coffee pots that I have checked out in stores have Cup valued much smaller than a cooking measurement of a cup. I would like to have a second one of these Stainless steel Bodum pots as they are the best I have yet to find. Great insulation and hard to break....

I have heard from friends that use it every day and use as little as a pinch I personally use about 1/8 cup but I don't use it every day, so I use more.

Ours is a PK12000 and it is 1000watts. I would guess the 8 cup would be the same.

Yes, you can tell it how much to grind (it's just a grinder; it doesn't brew). It has settings in increments of 2. I.e.: your options are 2, 4, 6, or 8 cups.

Yes it does . On Monday I have to add just a slight amount of extra water because it evaporates a little on Sunday. But definitely not more than 1/8th of a cup.

I always make 1 or 2 cups only, so, I don't have this problem... Don't make a lot of coffee as well. :)

Ours will just make the 8 cups of coffee, but that's large cups. We love it.

Can't be sure because I don't have a measuring cup on hand, but a 4oz bag looks like a cup's worth, maybe more. So that would make 20+ cups total.

Mine says 5 cups BUT the cups are smaller 6oz or so...I would say you would get 3 mugs max.

As you can see by my review I also stated this about the 12cups in title but 8 in the description. I emailed the sellers two weeks before I posted that review. But yet Im getting down voted.guess some people think you should accept what you get.

We purchased the 6 cup model. It actually produces approximately 1 2/3 cups of coffee. Why they call it 6 cup I have no idea.

I posted the exact dimensions in a previous answer. You can make from 2 to 8 cups.

I just checked mine and two 8 oz cups made it mostly full and three made it full but not overflowing. Hope that helps.

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.

It has a bowl with a marker at 8 ozs and you can only get in about 1/2 oz more. It makes a regular sized cup only.

I find that a bit confusing. The max fill line is where 10 cups would be even though its called an 8 cup maker. Of course, these are coffee maker cups not 8oz. Seems you could get 12 cups worth into the reservoir but the pot would be too full so I've never tried it. Overall, the maker is nice with the only fault that I find is that the feature where you can grab the pot before it finishes allows for a bit of coffee to drip onto the hot plate.

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