I'm sorry I can't help. I haven't had to use it yet. I plan to use it with a smaller pan with a lid on it.

Yes, but make sure that it is not in the draft or wind. I used stainless and I've even used one of my corinng wear. It boil faster in the Corning only because it was a smaller.

Just use low heat. It will boil very fast. These pots never need high heat. That is why I use them.

For a full pot I would say no.The most I can use it for is 6 cups other wise the grounds go up and over the basket.

I use it boil water using a volcano stove set up. So at least hot enough to boil water.

Makes 2-8 cups. If you only need two cups it can make that of 8 cups if you need more..

Don't have any info on 6 cup but my 2 1/3 quart Revere tea kettle is a disaster. Handel is so hot you need a pot holder to hold the kettle for pouring. You will suffer if purchasing this tea kettke

I agree, it depends on the size of your cup, but 6 to 8 cups should be about right.Nancy A.

You only need to add 8 oz of boiling water. It is also good with a little whipped cream.

Yes, you will need to boil almost 3 gallons. A 5 gallon pot is deal for all home brewing. Hope this helps.

Not at all. I make 6 cup pots all the time. Occasionally I have made 4-cup batches in 12-cup percolators and this one has done better with those than the other brand I replaced. I've learned to use (proportionately) a tad more coffee per cup with a 4-cup batch though because for some reason it's always seemed weaker (less so with this pot).

I wouldn't see why not. I have made six cups in this pot and no trouble, so 4 would probably be just fine.

They make a 4 cup and 5 cup model. I bought the 4 cup. I fill it to the top, but there was or is a 5 cup model that I owned previously. I didn't realize it when I bought it. The cups are only 6 oz, not 8 oz, why they do it that way escapes my logic, but look for the 5 cup model in the descriptions.

I usually make 8 cups, 3/4 of a pot and it takes about 5 minutes from start to drinking time. It would probably take one more minute to brew a full pot since the largest amount of time is spent bringing water up to brewing temperature. Say 6 minutes for a full pot.

We do not have an 8 qt pot, ours' is a 20 qt; so I'm sorry I can not answer the question.

I posted the exact dimensions in a previous answer. You can make from 2 to 8 cups.

Look at the space you typically have between burners on your stove. The 8 quart might overly crowd the back burner, making it useless, where as the 6 won't.

This kettle will easily hold eight cups of water. It can hold 10, but that is right up to the top.
