how many actual fluid ounces does this hold when filled to brewing capacity? 12 cups is not really 12 measured cups, right?

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.

The answer of 96 oz. is not accurate. It says 12 cup capacity on the side, but when I filled it all the way to the metal rim and then measured the water, it was just shy of 64 fl. oz. The "cups" they are referencing are not the 8 oz. cups that we think of. . . . confusing, I know.

This lets you brew 2 gallons at a time. That equates to about 21 twelve ounce servings.

I have the big one that makes 8 [6 oz.] cups of coffee. So I would say 48 ozs. But there is more room for another 6 oz. if you so wish.

It actually holds more than 12 ounces of water. I have a small 12 ounce mug that I always use for my tea, and this teapot gives me one and a half mugs full.

About 1/2 of a 12 cup pot of coffee. That turns into 3 "real" sized coffee mugs full. This is not a carafe that will keep your beverage hot for 12 hours. It is great for getting the coffee out of the pot before it starts to burn from the heat plate. We have 2 and have used them every day for over a year. We really like them.

I poured water into one and then poured the water into a measuring cup and it was over 12oz. I did not fill the cup all the way, just to the inner lip.

I just measured it to be sure but it holds 2 cups/16 oz. I love mine. I use it practically every day.

Based on Casey's answer they are referring to "Coffee cups" capacity which are typically 5 ounce "Cups" or a bit less. I would fill it to the 12 cups marked level and then measure the contents accurately as I emptied the pot or weigh it while empty and full and then calculate the capacity. I hate makers who do not list capacities in pints, quarts, milliliters or Liters. Non standard Cups capacity is BS.

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

Very often a cup of coffee is considered 6oz so I would guess this is a 48 oz capacity. Just my 2 cents. I'm also researching a new press so do not own this brand. Don't take that as a definite just something to consider.

I brew 4 cups, which is enough for a couple mugs worth, and have made only 2 also. When I have company, I have made a full pot, but I can't be sure if you actually get 12 'servings' since I always use mugs. Sorry not more helpful. A few years ago I had the thermos which I didn't like as well as the glass container and hotplate , it would get cold quickly since I'd never put the cap on the thermos.

Twelve very small espresso cups. The actual volume of the brew ends up being 16-18 ounces (depends on grind, temp, etc). In other terms, about the same amount of liquid as in a draft beer at the pub, one

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

I'm pretty sure you Can. There are markers to show the amount being brewed. I fill it up, though, and drink out of a large cup (which does not seem to me to actually be four cups).
