An 8oz cup of coffee? Is that enough? Just wondering, is an 8oz cup of coffee enough for most folks?

When I saw this Keurig B30 demo on a home shopping channel, the Keurig rep said that you could use 8 to 10 oz. when brewing your coffee.

This will depend on several factors, all according to YOU. This is essentially a single cup coffee maker - it all depends on how strong you want your coffee, and how big your coffee cup is. You can thus make X# oz of coffee, depending on Y # oz your coffee cup can hold. This is a great way to make a single cup of coffee for yourself. Unlike some of the commercial devices (that make coffee too weak for my liking), I prefer the ease and customization that this device allows.

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.

Friend... I use 3 level 1/8 cup scoops of coffee to get the results that I like... You can use as much or little as you wish to get the results for your taste.

I don't drink coffee in the morning, but my wife does, I use a measuring cup to add the water, and I use 12/3 cups (one and two thirds cups) of water, which makes two of our sized cups of coffee. We don't use mugs. We use the extra brew cycle.

It depends on how strong you like your coffee. For 8 oz I would suggest two heaping tablespoons. You can adjust it up or down the next time.

Thank you for the advice! I've tested 2 of the included samples using 9-10oz and using the pulse button and it's not to bad... like I said I'm pretty bland when it comes to my coffee :) I bet a 12gram pod and maybe using pulse will be perfect! There aren't any reusable pods yet for this machine that would let me use my own ground coffee are there?

Seems like an odd question for a coffee cup. Maybe providing the number of ounces would be more appropriate?

I think you have it the other way round. Because a common measure of a cup of coffee is considered 6 oz. (8 oz. would overfill the cup) This was an established measure since the 18th century French custom,) Look at all the old Teacups, notice their size.

I have an "8-cup" Bodum French press. The equivalent amount of coffee to a full press is basically half a pot in the Melitta.

I like strong coffee. I fill the water up to the 2-cup mark and add about 2 1/4 or so tablespoons of coffee. I do let it perk for a long time, so perhaps I could use a bit less coffee.

yes, but it's 8oz cups not a typical mug which holds a lot more. I like the coffee pot though I wish I had bought it on sale... I saw it on sale later on.

Hello! With the 23-ounce Frieling French press, you will be able to fill a standard 8oz mug about 2 and a half times. This press is ideal for serving me on a daily basis, as I'm constantly refreshing my cup. If you enjoy coffee (you must if you're investigating Frieling) and your friends also enjoy copious amounts of coffee, I would consider one of the larger sizes. I can't stress enough though how much I enjoy owning this size since I actually take it with me to work everyday, which wouldn't be nearly as convenient with one of the larger sizes, which would naturally be essential for parties. I hope this helps! - Joe B Hello! With the 23-ounce Frieling French press, you will be able to fill a standard 8oz mug about 2 and a half times.

Well, there are 8 ounces in a cup and this is an 8 cup coffee press. 8x8=64. So, this coffee press will hold 64 fluid ounces.

You are correct about 12 cups not being 12 measuring cups. Remember that an average sized mug holds about 2 cups of the brewed coffee and an old-fashioned 'teacup' may hold 6 oz. If you remember these measures, you will always be able to estimate how much coffee to make. Stove perked coffee is really good! Hope you enjoy the process and the coffee.

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.

The 8 cup measure is a little confusing, it actually produces 34 ounces of coffee, which to my taste is equal to 2 of the scoops. You can make half that amount with one scoop. You could make almost any amount if you experiment with the coffee water ratio.
