For two 11 oz mugs, should I get the 4 cup or 8 cup model? The manufacturer website lists the 4 cup at 21 oz and the 8 cup at 35 oz.

Get the largest one you can find. Then when you have guests over, you won't have to interrupt the visiting with cleaning and making another pot of coffee. I purchased the 51 oz press, and was very pleased that I did.

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.

They make BOTH a 20 oz & a 34 oz mug that look similar except the 34oz is taller & wider at the top. The 34 oz also costs a little bit more. You have to pay attention to the description to make sure you get the size that you want!!!

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.

Ibeller79 is correct in that a standard cup is 8 oz. When talking about coffee, a cup is 6 oz. therefore your typical "mug" is probably 10 to 12 oz. When measuring coffee each scooper is calculated per 6 oz. cup therefore you probably do 2 scoopers per mug or 8 or 9 scoopers for an 8 cup coffee maker and get 4-5 mugs of coffee. A demi-tasse cup (espresso) is 4 oz.)

Depends on the size of the mug. There are two of them. One smallish, the other bigger.

It's 350ml or 11.5 0zA cup is 8 oz, so it is less than 2 cups in capacity. I use it in a one coffee cup press

Yes, you can. Four cups is really equal to 2 mugs. Set the Aroma button so it drips slower.

A standard 8-10 oz size coffee mug (4inches high) works best, but you can use a larger size if you pull the drip tray out or tilt the mug slightly as you slide it under the spout. If indeed you mean a "tumbler," the same is true 4 inches works best.

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

It depends on how strong you like your coffee. For 8 oz I would suggest two heaping tablespoons. You can adjust it up or down the next time.

Four cups is the amount listed in the manual which is really around 2 mugs of coffee. I do this almost every morning.

Yes, you can make less cups -- as a matter of fact, 8 cups is deceiving because their 8 cups is 5 ozs each and most people I know consider a cup to be 8 ozs, so it really doesn't make 8 cups; but I have made four with it and even two, and that works fine. I got the 8 cup size so I would be able to make a four to six cups at a time. It wouldn't work to have 8 real cups.

Although I don't have the pot at my current location to check it for sure, I believe 36 ounces would be the total as they consider a "cup" to be 6 ozs. When I make two twelve ounce cups with the pour over method that brings the level exactly to the 4 cup level, which from memory is about the half way point, so you should be able to get at least 36 oz if not a little more with a full pot. I can verify for you early next week if you would like to know the exact capacity. It's a handy little carafe for making just a couple large mugs of coffee at a time, and versatile enough to use either the #4 Melitta or #2 Hario cones on top.

Hello! With the 23-ounce Frieling French press, you will be able to fill a standard 8oz mug about 2 and a half times. This press is ideal for serving me on a daily basis, as I'm constantly refreshing my cup. If you enjoy coffee (you must if you're investigating Frieling) and your friends also enjoy copious amounts of coffee, I would consider one of the larger sizes. I can't stress enough though how much I enjoy owning this size since I actually take it with me to work everyday, which wouldn't be nearly as convenient with one of the larger sizes, which would naturally be essential for parties. I hope this helps! - Joe B

It has markings for 6 and 8 cups, these are European 5oz cups. I wouldn't go much below the 6 or you won't get enough water to properly brew. So I would say about 25oz.

It would depend on how large your mugs are... it can hold 6 to 8 small coffee cups 4 to 6 oz, or 3 x large Mugs 16 to 18 Oz or larger. I hope that helps...as vague as it was...
