Are there any measurement lines inside the pot--so I know how much water I'm adding?

no. Measure your water before you put it in....if you pour too much hot water in the pot and push the plunger down too quickly...you'll get a geyser of hot coffee and surface grounds out of the spout.

@evgeneia: No, there are no measurement lines inside the pot. Even if there were, it would not be accurate anyway because your ground coffee is going to displace an unknown amount of water.

I add water to just below the spout to prevent geyersing when I push down on the plunger. And after much experimenting I know that 2 scoops of beans and that much water tastes perfect to me.

No there are not. I filled it using a measuring cup at first now I guess. LOVE LOVE LOVE this pot. Best ever press pot. Keep things hot!

No lines inside pot. Use measuring cup for amount you want. Love this pot and the coffee it makes.

There is none, use the water level on the left hand side to determine amount to fill. Use the suggested amount of coffee from the back of the package of coffee to put in basket. Adjust over time to fit your preferences. I use the amount for 10 cups on robust to make an 8 cup pot of coffee [water mark 8]. This the best coffee pot bar none in my experience.

Mine came with a little plastic cup and there are little notches on the inside of the cooker but since measurements can vary by rice, I just measure like I would in a regular pot which is 2-1 water to rice for white and a quarter cup extra water for brown (2 1/4 water to 1 cup brown)

Yes, there's a clear verticle water gauge that is between the lower and upper handle connections. It measures from 2 to 7 cups.

I use mine for brewing and it doesn't have markings on it. I used a gallon jug and made my own marks. The cost of the pot out weights the fact it is missing the marks. Too easy to use a gallon jug and a punch to make your marks.

water goes in the pot only. why don't you google and see if you can find an instruction book

It doesn't indicate anywhere on the pot or cups or inside the lid. I no longer have the original box. It originally shipped damaged, so I had a replacement was sent in different packaging. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

No - you can use the measurements on the glass carafe to know how much water is being added.

There are instructions. The instructions don't say anything about adding water. I have used these for quit a while now and love them. I have never added water to the bottom of the pot.

Yes...there are lines that indicate how much water is needed based on your cup preference. Great product also. I use it to make rice about three times a week. Hope this helps.

Measure across top of planter and get a round or square just smaller than planter dimensions and a bit shorter so that pot is completely hidden. I have round ones in my planters and the pot doesn't show once the plant material is added.

Yup. You just adjust the water and grounds. There is measurement lines inside to help you.

Yes, the markings are on the outside of the percolator. Don't ask me why. Bad design. We just eyeball it by putting our finger on the outside and watch the level of the water while pouring in. Or I read someone else say they actually measured with a ruler the outside and scratched the inside by the same measurements. The strength depends on your ratio of coffee grains to water that you like. The 5 oz. is a small cup, so we go with 1 tbspoon and a half more than the number of cups we're making. But it's according to how you like it. Just experiment till you find the right ratio that works for you.

yes, use the enclosed cup to measure the rice. Then use the markings inside the pot to measure your liquid. I put enough water/broth to barely reach the line because I like a firm rice.

Frankly, I never thought about water capacity. Just checked and the water level shows 1.7L with various lower measurements too. I don't "do" metrics and just guess when filling - roughly, I'd at least a quart. I seldom fill the whole pot but at least half full for using the time setting for getting up to hot water for tea and not having to wait for a conventional teakettle to boil. Love that feature!

Hello When we purchase the stockpot it did not have interior measurement markings? If you don't mind, we'd like to know why? Thank you.

I would guess about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of water. There isn't a fill line, I drew my own in based on the written instructions.
