They say 12 - 14 cups, but how many ounces of coffee does it make?

Depending on the amount of water you put in the unit, approx. 20-22 ounces in my experience.

I have the 6 cup model. I just measured the amount of water used to fill the base to the recommended level: 10½ 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.

A shot of espresso is about 2.5 oz or less according to most experts. Starbucks shot is 1 oz. If you take the cups they list, figure 2 oz per cup.I would guess that it makes 24, to 38 oz of espresso depending on the amount of water, and grounds you place in it. It will fill 2, 20 oz coffee cups close to the brim, I can make 3 20 oz lattes with one pot.

The pot holds 16 ounces, which is enough to brew 12 ounces of coffee. The other 4 ounces get left in the grounds.

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.

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.

The size I have (12-14 cup) will hold 12-14 oz of water in the bottom chamber. A shot of espresso is usually 1 oz so you can get 12 "cups" of espresso out of one full pot (hence the name 12-14 cup coffee pot). We usually make one pot of very strong coffee (not quite espresso strength) and make lattes in our big coffee mugs - we can get 2 big lattes per pot this way. Hope this helps!

The custom in measuring coffeemakers in the US has long been 5 fluid ounces per cup. An ordinary measuring cup for cooking is 8 fluid ounces. Hence the confusion.

I use a drip coffee maker and make a full 12 cup pot and fill the dispenser with that- I'm assuming the cup measurement on the coffee pot is for 6 oz. cups.

The gauge on the coffee maker says it makes 10 cups, but a full pot is only 48-ounces (I measured). So that's six 8-ounce measuring cups - or about four-&-a-half normal coffee mugs.

Although it is correct to say that 1 cup of liquid measurement is equal to 8 ozs. when it comes to a "cup of coffee" the measurement is then 6 ozs which is the size of a "standard" cup of coffee whne served in an actual dinner set "cup"

I honestly can't answer that, but it looks to be about 12 cups. Hope this helps.

If a cup is 8 ozs, then 12 cups would be 96 ozs! If the carafe holds 96 ozs of water, then you would have 12 cups! I have never measured this! When the coffee is gone, I make more! The mugs I use are larger than 8 ozs, so I don't really know how many actual 'cups' my mug holds? I may never know, because I'm not going to measure it! I have other more fun things to do!!!

A cup of coffee is measured as 5 ounces. I would guess this made about 10 ounces.

Haven't fully filled it as the cup only holds 16-18 oz. but it will hold at least 3-4 heaping tbsp of grounds. I usually use 1 1/2 a 2. It makes a nice cup of coffee.

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

With coffee and tea a 'cup' is usually considered 5-7 fl oz. In this brewer, it's 5 fl oz. So, 12 cups is just under 60 oz of brewed coffee (accounting for water left in the grounds and a little evaporation). Measure your mugs and divide into 60. I have some huge mugs marked 16 oz, but that's to the top. I actually pour about 13-14 oz into them, so I'd get about 4.5 mugs - equal to nearly 3 normal 'cups'. That's a lot of coffee! :) I don't think you're really going to find a larger residential brewer, whether it's this 'on demand' style or a standard carafe. Everything I've seen has 40-60 oz reservoirs and carafes (8-12 5-oz cups). With coffee and tea a 'cup' is usually considered 5-7 fl oz. In this brewer, it's 5 fl oz.

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.

I use it to make about 12 ounces of coffee - you might be able to squeeze in a few more ounces.
