Are there gallon markings on the inside? (ie: to know when you are at 5 gallons)?

Yes. The pot has lines and numbers that are pressed into the metal. They show the amount of liquid remaining in the pot. There are lines at the gallong and half gallon marks. I have not checked the markings for accuracy however it has always been close enough for my brew days.

Yes you can see the gallon and 1/2 gallon markings from the inside of the pot.

Sorry, but the only marking I see on my cup is "18-8 stainless steel". There is a rubber pad glued to the bottom and there may be information underneath that.

There is one that is gasoline rated, but I don't understand the "5-gallon container" part of the question.

No markings on it at all. But thru trial and error I have found I can eyeball where I need to be with how many beverages I am making. Very nice product for the little money they want for it.

Those markings in the pot are not in cups. I was told the markings are for cooking rice. Still not sure how that works, but I make yogurt using a whole gallon of milk and it doesn't equal those markings when I pour the milk in to the pot. It's such a shame they didn't use actual cup markings! Makes it very confusing!

It doesn't indicate anywhere on the pot or cups or inside the lid. I no longer have the original box. It originally shipped damaged, so I had a replacement was sent in different packaging. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

@evgeneia: No, there are no measurement lines inside the pot. Even if there were, it would not be accurate anyway because your ground coffee is going to displace an unknown amount of water.

The measurement markings are raised plastic on the inside of the cup. They are visible from both the inside and the outside when any liquid is poured in.

No markers. If your making wine you want to fill it.and keep it filled. If you only make 5gal get a 5gal container. If you do 5 1/2 gal get a 5 gal and a 1/2 gal. You do not want air inside the container. If your looking to mix ingredients then you will need to measure them before adding.

They are not markings, they are embossed into the cup. You can see them on the outside if you fill up the cup with an opaque liquid, if that's what you are asking.

Yes, the markings are on the outside of the percolator. Don't ask me why. Bad design. We just eyeball it by putting our finger on the outside and watch the level of the water while pouring in. Or I read someone else say they actually measured with a ruler the outside and scratched the inside by the same measurements. The strength depends on your ratio of coffee grains to water that you like. The 5 oz. is a small cup, so we go with 1 tbspoon and a half more than the number of cups we're making. But it's according to how you like it. Just experiment till you find the right ratio that works for you. Yes, the markings are on the outside of the percolator. Don't ask me why. Bad design.

I use mine for brewing and it doesn't have markings on it. I used a gallon jug and made my own marks. The cost of the pot out weights the fact it is missing the marks. Too easy to use a gallon jug and a punch to make your marks.

My kettle has no marks which would be a real convenience. I have an old white plastic five gallon fermenter with gallon markings on the side that I use when filling the kettle. My biggest problem when brewing 10 gallon batches is that I use the kettle as both a mash tun and a boiler, so I must drain the wort into something, dump out the spent grain, clean the kettle, and then pour the wort back into the kettle for boiling. This certainly slows things down on brewing day. I am thinking about simply buying a 15 gallon mash tun which would drain into the kettle, but haven't made up my mind yet.

Yes, the markings on the handles are easy to read. The individual cups themselves do not have markings.

There are no measurement marks on this pot. However, I have used it for brewing all-grain batches (boil only) for about 2 years, and it is a great no-frills pot for the money. I notch my stirring spoon with gallon markers; you could easily drill a port for a sight glass if you're using it for a mash tun.

Nothing that I can detect but the bottle size. I purchased the quart first and now I have the gallon and the product appears the same.

No, I just went out to my garage and looked, it does not have any markings. I just measure with my fermenting bucket usually.
