How many oz (not cups) does it hold? I found that I can't assume 1 cup = 8 oz in coffee pots.

Not sure of total oz in one pot, however 1 cup of coffee is definitely not 8 oz. Believe each cup is approx 5-6 oz. In 10 cup carafe we get a bit more than 4 cups/mugs.

The box says that 1 cup (of coffee) is 4 fluid ounces/120mL. I just checked however, and I was able to get 60 fluid ounces in.

I would have to agree with the first answer. I poured two 32oz bottles of water in it and couldn't fit all 64oz in. So I would say about 60oz.

It holds 142 ounces and since 8 ounces = 1 cup then it stands to reason that this container would hold 17.75 cups. I can usually fit almost three boxes of cereal in one of these if that helps.

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.)

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.

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.

I know it holds 16oz. that's all I make at a time. but it will hold more.maybe up to 4 cups with no over flows.

I suspect that when they say "8 Cups" they mean 8 smallish coffee cups full. One pressing fills my large travel mug with some to spare. It's definitely on the smaller side, but without being able to keep it hot, I'd prefer that anyway

It does not make 8 cups. What that means is 8, 4-oz cups (a European sized coffee). It will make 32-oz at one time. Regular, U.S.-sized coffee cups are about 10-12 oz. each, so if you are looking to make a ton of coffee, you cannot. I generally make 32-oz in the morning and it gives me a cup for my husband and nearly 2 cups for me.

According to this coffee machine a cup is only 5 oz. Not 8 oz which I consider a cup. For 6 cups of coffee we had 6 heaping scoops of coffee. It is the best cup of coffee you'll drink.

I don't know about ounces. We never measured. But, we fill the press with the appropriate amount of course ground coffee, let it seep for four minutes and then plunge the press. We get three cups (not mugs) of coffee. Pretty good coffee, and the press because of its design and insulation factors, holds the third cup pretty hot. How many ounces in a cup? Three times whatever is a pretty good estimate. Hope this helps.

Just over one cup. I've never really measured it, but will do so now - hold on. 8oz or one cup precisely.

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

These GSI pots are 5 fluid ounces for each 'cup'. An '8 cup pot' can brew 40oz of coffee, less a bit for steam and water absorbed by the grounds. The smallest cup of coffee on the Starbucks menu is 12oz. Most coffee cups hold 9-15 oz. So, if you want 64oz (about 5-6 average mugs of coffee), you will want the '12 cup' pot.

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.

It makes 32 oz or 4 8 oz cups. They must consider a "cup" of coffee to be 4 oz. By the way, I love it, very durable and makes great coffee.

According to equivalents on the Internet, one ounce equals two tablespoons. I use 8 rounded scoops for a full pot, that is up to the top of the bodum emblem. I measured one rounded scoop of coffee and put it into a two-tablespoon measure, and it fit perfectly. So, one rounded scoop should be equal to one ounce of ground coffee. Therefore, we use about 8 ounces of coffee grounds to make our pot. If you put 16 exact tablespoons (not rounded) of coffee in the pot, you will have the strength of coffee my husband and I drink. If you measure in ounces, try 8 ounces. I don't think our coffee is strong as strong as that served at Starbucks or McDonalds, but it's not weak. I hope this was helpful.

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.
