Are these mugs really 20 oz? This may seem silly but I've found 20oz to be the perfect coffee size.

Yes they are 20 oz and idea for a cup of hot chocolate with tons of marshmallows or whip cream. We use them for soup, chili, etc as well. They fit perfect with our home in the woods!

Yes, they hold at least 20 oz's. We make lattes with lots of froth--there is plenty of room.

Yes, they are definitely 20oz. mugs. I just took a 1cup (8oz) measuring cup and filled the coffee cup three times with just a bit of room left to be able to pick up the mug and enjoy a sip of nice hot coffee. Me and my husband are big on the 20oz. mugs as well, it took me some time to find a decent set of mugs. These are not bad, nice country/cabin style on each that I enjoy.

I don't know what kind of measuring cup everyone else is using, but I just went and dug mine out, filled the cup to the rim and poured it into a 4 cup measuring cup and they are exactly 20 oz. I love them...plus, the double for cold beers or whatever other cold drink you like. Comes with recipe!

This set of mugs is 16ounces each--the perfect size for a Moscow Mule. I find that the 20 ounce mugs are just a smidge too big. Fill to just under half with ice and then add--1/2 ounces fresh lime juice, 2 ounces vodka and then 5.5 ounces ginger beer. Give it a mix and serve. If you're feeling crazy, add a sprig of mint. :) I can't even count how often I've used these mugs since I got them a couple months ago. They are great.

I think it is 20 or 22 oz. It is almost exactly four cups measured in the coffee Pot. You can drink from it with the cap on, it has a sip hole and vent hole. Great Mug, I love it.

No. The 16 oz lids are too small. The 24 oz lids fit the 15 oz coffee mugs perfectly.

Yes, I have had no problem with it. It is also true that 17 oz isn't that big when many mugs and cups now easily hold 12 oz. I use my at work and it's perfect for that. For home, I would want the 34 oz instead.

These mugs are very cute and they hold 1 12 ounce pour just fine, 16 ounces if you want it filled to the top! I would recommend them.

Yes, quite nicely actually. I primarily use them with a 20 ounce double walled straw cup.

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.

Yes, I think they're 20 ounces, because they comfortably hold a full pint with a large head. I don't put mine in the dishwasher. I handwash these along with all my other logo beer glasses because I don't want the logos to wear off.

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.

If the other reviewers would use a measuring cup they would find that these glasses hold exactly 16oz... Now if you are pouring something other than water in, like beer or soda, they will hold 12 to 13 oz with a head. But to answer your question, yes they are 16 oz glasses.

17.5 ounces. depends what you want them for, they are a bit smaller than a beer mug.

I have the 24 oz. mug and I love it. I would imagine that the handle is good size on the 16 oz. because the style is pretty great for bigger hands. Go for it!

My carafe holds 5 c. of liquid (40 oz.) when full. Therefore, B&D; is apparently figuring on 5 oz. per "cup". My mugs are more like 10-12 oz, so I usually get 3 - 4 mugs of coffee from a full carafe. That's plenty for me.

I filled the coffee decanter to 2 and poured into a measuring cup. Came to 8oz, which seems right, because I make approx 3 cups in the mornings to fill my 16 oz travel mug.

They are not huge (like a Starbucks mug) but they are also not tiny. Think of your typical English porcelain tea cup. I would say 5-6 ounces.
