Why does the six cup version include "vacuum" in the title whereas the 8 cup version does not. What's the difference in the two other than capacity?

Yes, know your issue completely. We don't often brew to capacity but when we do have guests, it can be embarrassing bec. if lady luck is not with us, we would have the puddle and the stream running off the counter. Six/Eight cups would be fine for a second round of coffee for family. However, we had to worry if we had a full house esp. w/ a repeat round of coffee. Tried to temper down the amt for some events and do smaller batches. Sometimes a success; other times a flooded counter and floor. No logic to examine possible reasons.

I believe its only 6 cups. I had a 10 previously and its definitely not that big.

The description says 8 cups but 6 cups (48 ounces) is more accurate. If you try to top it off, you will end up with some grounds in your coffee. That being said - absolutely love this french press - still using it every day with no problems.

I find that a bit confusing. The max fill line is where 10 cups would be even though its called an 8 cup maker. Of course, these are coffee maker cups not 8oz. Seems you could get 12 cups worth into the reservoir but the pot would be too full so I've never tried it. Overall, the maker is nice with the only fault that I find is that the feature where you can grab the pot before it finishes allows for a bit of coffee to drip onto the hot plate.

The size is labeled as for "5 cups" but I usuallly drink my coffee fron a standard size mug and at full capacity it only provides two (2) MUGS full,, which is enough to satisfy this coffee hound. I don't know what size cups they used to make the five that they claim but they must have used very small cups...The machine does do the job very well ( I mean for Two MUGS full.)I'm happy with it.

Ours did the same thing. We had the 10-cup model and needed to upgrade so we bought the 12 cup Cuisinart. It is super quiet and makes a great cup of coffee.

I measured the contents of the carafe. Although it is marked 8 "cups", the volume is about 40 oz., which means about 5 oz. per "cup". The cup is probably intended to be a standard coffee cup which comes with a plate set - not the common coffee mug which most people use which is about 12 oz. That being said, the Yama makes about 4 standard coffee mugs per pot. I think you'd have to make at least a half pot (2 mugs full) for good results as not all of the water goes up into the top... any less might not provide enough water in the top to actually do the brewing of the grounds.

I did it once with no problem. You may want to get the 6 cup one, or you will end up doing it in a couple of batches. If you are used to that, then it shouldn't be a problem.

The one I purchased is from Anchor Hocking. I have also checked the measurements and they are accurate. I truly love the 8 oz. and 16 oz. triple pour cups. My 8 oz. cup is stamped on the bottom, but the 16 oz. is not.

No, it is not and does not make six cups of coffee no matter how small the cup, you are lucky if you get one cup.

The 6-cup is about 7-5/8 inches - the taller measurements reported below must be for the larger version.

I assume you mean saucer. It is about the same as any saucer you would use with an 8 ounce cup. They are pretty much all the same. To measure would be ridiculous.

I ordered my replacement using the number of cups designated on the order form. My press had no number or other markings. My French press is the model with a silver metal frame. The eight cup replacement fit perfectly""I would say it makes VERY small cups--about equivalent to 3full mugs. This might help you estimate the cup capacity you need.

There is an option to buy either the 2 cup or the 8 cup. I bought the 8 cup as a replacement for my old pyrex 8 cup. I love pyrex.

Honestly I don't think there is a difference, I think it's a typo. I can tell you that this vacuum has tons of suction and is a really good product. you would love it. I got the carrier with mine, its awesome because you can wrap it around yourself or carry it on your shoulder and put all of your tools in the little pocket on the side. I clean houses for a living and use it all the time.
