Is this 12 cups plus 12 tops/straws, or 6 cups/top/straw units?

It is 12 cups, 12 lids, and 12 straws. They are a perfect size and the top stays on very well. I used these with two year olds and didn't have any spills!

Filled to the very brim, it will hold 7.75 actual cups. But you probably wouldn't want to put more than 6.5 in it.

I have the 6 cup model. I just measured the amount of water used to fill the base to the recommended level: 10 oz. This one's double that size, so 21 oz. more or less. Maybe more, because it's 12-14; maybe less, because the grounds absorb water and some is lost as steam.

Mine is 12 cups. What may be confusing on the filter issue is that there is a "water filter" (that I don't use) for the water before it hits the coffee. I don't use it 'cause I'm not that d*mn picky. The basket where the coffee goes is a standard plastic basket where you put paper filters.

I use the 12 cupcake insert (purchased separately). So it holds 12 with the insert.

For 12 cups fill the water up to the bottom hole of the spout. Otherwise measure the amount of water for the cups you want. F.

Your question is about the 12-cup version but you posted it under the listing for the 14-cup model. The 12-cup and 14-cup, models differ not only in capacity but also in important features. The previous answers to your question apply to the 14-cup model, which does have three bowls. However, the 12-cup model has only two bowls. Other differences are that the 12-cup model lacks a dough setting (essentially a slower speed) and a retractable cord, although it does have space to manually wrap the cord around the bottom. P.S. Monique, I know this is too late to help you, but I'm hoping some of the other confused shoppers will find it helpful.

I purchased the 6-cup which equates to 16 ounces. So I assume the 12-cup would equate to 32 ounces. Hope this helps!

I have the 12 cup model. I'd say it's always better to go with the largest model if you ever think you'd need it. You can always make less, say 4 cups in the 12 cup model. Just my $.02.

I cannot answer to your question because AMazon has sent me a 12 cup instead of a 28 cup. They gave me the choise to keep it and send the right one but I never received it. I stop order at Amazon since. Good luck to you. Mai

Hi Joy! I just dug out my box - the four sizes are: 21 cups (5.0 liters), 12.7 cups (3.0 liters), 6.3 cups (1.5 liters, and 3 cups (0.7 liters) - all are nested together and all come with lids. These containers are really amazing and we use them every day for storage and cooking. I find myself wishing I had another set!

It will hold 6 ounces, and that is filled close to the top. They are perfect for the 6 ounce setting on my Keurig. They will NOT hold 7 ounces, so if you pour a lot of milk in first, be aware it may run over if you use an automatic 6 ounce setting on a Keurig. Really nice, nostalgic, cups though! I love mine!

when they say 12 cups its not 12 coffee mugs.. :O) 12 cups would probably be filled up to the neck.

it is a 12 cup. It does not come with a reusable filter. Doesn't come with the paper filters either.... Had to run out and buy them when we first got the maker. A reusable filter costs less than $10.00for all practical purposes this is an 11 cup maker. Fill it with 12 cups of water and you will get back about 11 cups of coffee.

I don't have a problem with 12 cups. I do use natural paper liners because I grind my coffee and it's quite fine and strong.

It is about one cup. But I would not waste my money. The labels they put on these containers leaves a terrible residue that cannot be removed and makes them really ugly. And, the snap-open end of them, does not close tightly. I had to add a piece of saran wrap under the lid to make sure it would stay closed tight.
