Does it hold 6 cups? Or only 4 as one of the reviews states?

It holds 6 cups, just be careful taking sharp turns in your car with it full of cheese sauce or chili.

It holds, if you fill carefully, enough for four mugs (not cups, but mugs) of coffee with enough left in the bottom to cover the dregs. Not sure how many ounces that is - more than 40, though, and could well be 51.

It is an eight cup capacity. If you fill it too full it will spit some water out. You could be comfortable expecting six full cups of tea so you don't empty the pot and it doesn't spatter. It's very heavy and very nice. I bought it because it is well constructed and has a flat bottom for my ceramic cook top.

No, 4 is the least amount you can do with this one - it seems as if with any coffee pot, their cups do not hold out to a regular cup so I am not sure if they go by 6 oz. cups or 8 oz. cups. I hope this answers your question(s).

When I fill it up to the bottom of the spout as shown in the picture, it is 6 cups. The spout does not drip when pouring.

It holds about 2 cups, its the size of a soup bowl. It was larger than I expected.

No idea. I only have the 6 cup. If that's the smaller one you're wondering about, then I would say absolutely not.

I think the heft of batter and displacement of space makes the 5 cups of batter correct. It will easily accomodate 6 cups of water - but there's a big difference in weight. I like this cooker - but the lid is a little hard to set and remove. The old tried and true "hinged clip" was much easier for me.

Yes...even though it says 4-cup,I get about 3 cups to a pot.I've had 7-8 new pots over the last 15-20 years.The top gets a littlewarped after a couple of years,so I buy a replacement pot.I use mine every day.I strongly recommend this coffee-maker!

The size is labeled as for "5 cups" but I usuallly drink my coffee fron a standard size mug and at full capacity it only provides two (2) MUGS full,, which is enough to satisfy this coffee hound. I don't know what size cups they used to make the five that they claim but they must have used very small cups...The machine does do the job very well ( I mean for Two MUGS full.)I'm happy with it.

Filled to the very brim, it will hold 7.75 actual cups. But you probably wouldn't want to put more than 6.5 in it.

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

I'd guess it holds about 1/4 cup -- which lasts quite a while. I love it, and have also given it as a gift.

I just measured the capacity and got 3 cups for top and 6 cups for the bottom. We have had it for almost one year and have not had any issues with it.

Sorry, i don't know as i always fill it to 8 cups. If you (haven't) purchased it yet, IMO, it's not worth the money. The handle design can get you burned...

There are six containers that start out pretty large and go down to quite small. I would estimate the largest one to be able to hold about 8-10 cups and then the smallest one maybe 1/2 to 1 cup. I might be way off, but just to give you an idea of the size range.

I have this and it appears (I have not measured) to hold about 1 to 1.5 cups. They are hand made and all are a tad different.David
