How many ounces of espresso can you make?.Does 6 cups mean 6 espresso sized cups or regular cups?

It means 6 espresso-sized (demitasse) cups. I have been able to make, at most, a tad over 8 oz. of coffee by filling the water just above the pressure valve and importantly, lowering the gas flame once the water is boiling, thus getting the largest cup without triggering the pressure valve. And not to be too geeky, this is not strictly espresso which is made at 7 or maybe 9 bars of pressure, while the Venus can only manage 1.5 bars of pressure (just boiling water pressure). I have found it to be a great alternative to Melita filter coffee (too weak and bitter for my personal taste) and to real espresso (expensive machines, small amounts of fantastic coffee). The Venus provides me with almost enough volume of smooth, strong coffee (I also had to try different roasts to find my preference - smooth Mocha-Java beans and strong Espresso-Forte beans mixed together). Highly recommended.

When Bialetti says 6 cup IMO they refer to espresso cups that are small not typical 6 oz American, so maybe you might get 2 American size cups of strong coffee out of the 6 cup.

6 ounces for liquid. Just tested. My regular coffee cup holds 8 ounces so be prepared for numerous refills

Ref: The 6 cup Presto coffee pot. I measured 30 oz of fluid to reach the 6 cup mark, 5 oz cups. My coffee cups at home are 11 oz. One level scoop of coffee grounds for this pot makes a weak 6 cups of coffee, heaping makes about right strength for me.

Typically coffee maker "Cups" are 5 ounces or smaller. Per Cuisinare theirs are 5 ounces so a 12 cup brewer will produce 60 ounces. Espresso or Turkish coffee cups may be even smaller and some other makers of drip coffee makers use slightly smaller "cups" too so measure how much water your maker needs to fill it to the full level to determine cup size if it is not listed in the manual. Per Jeremy's math and if the pot's volume listed is correct it should hold just under 17 five ounce "Cups" or 4+ of my 20 ounce insulated mugs of coffee.

Nope. It holds 12 6 ounce cups per the manufacturers info. It appears to be pretty standard with coffee pot manufacturers that they use 6 ounces for the measurement of a cup of coffee.

We make a 12 oz cup of coffee. You need to select that special size of disk. If you want to make a latte, it makes up to an 8 oz cup of coffee.

a single shot of espresso is 1 ounce. If you are getting less than 6 oz of espresso it's probably because all the water isn't getting brewed through. I usually have a little water left in the bottom part of the pot too, don't know why.

Depends on the cups size. This holds 24oz. 6oz cups gives you 4 cups, 8oz cups gives you 3 cups and so on.

This electric espresso coffee maker only can make actually two cups of espresso coffee, don't know what that is in ounces. It is wonderful. I love mine. I only drink one cup of coffee a day with my husband, so that is perfect for us. I use Bustello Cuban coffee and take it with half and half and sugar in the raw. We love it. Much better than having to put the coffee pot on the stove like in the past from my use with other Cuban coffee makers. Hope this helps. It pours beautifully. No problem at all.

Yes it can make what ever you want. To make your requested 11 oz cup of coffee you would need to use 1 nespresso capsule and 10 oz of milk. Keep in mind this is an espresso machine. One capsule makes about 1 Oz or 2.5 OZ of coffee that's it - to make more you need to use more capsules.

You can boil 60 oz of water at a time...so divide that by how large a cup you are talking about: 6 oz, 8 oz, or larger.

This makes 6 cups = full mug (12 fl ounces or 350 ml). For less you may want to remove the pot halfway(and put less coffee). Smaller size (2 cups) electrical bialetti (dual voltage) available on amazon Italy and Spain: http://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B002EWANQS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

Standard size cup that coffee makers use. I think that means 5 or 6 oz. I get two mugs out of a four-cup brew.

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.

By the way, an electric or a stovetop Italian coffee maker (moka) is not a real espresso machine. The coffee that they make, depending on the brand of coffee, is rich and "thick", akin to the crema one gets with an nice cup of espresso, and should not be at all transparent. A six cup Italian coffee maker means six little espresso cups, not six American cups. Best to use coffee roasted and ground for these devices, like Lavazza.
