They say 12 - 14 cups, but how many ounces of coffee does it make?

Depending on the amount of water you put in the unit, approx. 20-22 ounces in my experience.

I have the 6 cup model. I just measured the amount of water used to fill the base to the recommended level: 10½ oz. This one's double that size, so 21 oz. more or less. Maybe more, because it's 12-14; maybe less, because the grounds absorb water and some is lost as steam.

A shot of espresso is about 2.5 oz or less according to most experts. Starbucks shot is 1 oz. If you take the cups they list, figure 2 oz per cup.I would guess that it makes 24, to 38 oz of espresso depending on the amount of water, and grounds you place in it. It will fill 2, 20 oz coffee cups close to the brim, I can make 3 20 oz lattes with one pot.

sorry.....I am traveling now and not home to measure.........my guess is that it makes approximately 12 to 16 oz. of liquid coffee: a good size mug and just a few tablespoons left over

Ref: The 6 cup Presto coffee pot. I measured 30 oz of fluid to reach the 6 cup mark, 5 oz cups. My coffee cups at home are 11 oz. One level scoop of coffee grounds for this pot makes a weak 6 cups of coffee, heaping makes about right strength for me.

If you are filling the reservoir it should make 12 cups. It starts brewing when you press the button. If you are dispensing coffee within a minute or two, it can not keep up. If you wait until the signal that brewing is complete, then you should have as many cups of coffee as you added water. I hope this helps.

I brew 4 cups, which is enough for a couple mugs worth, and have made only 2 also. When I have company, I have made a full pot, but I can't be sure if you actually get 12 'servings' since I always use mugs. Sorry not more helpful. A few years ago I had the thermos which I didn't like as well as the glass container and hotplate , it would get cold quickly since I'd never put the cap on the thermos.

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.)

I have the 4 cup model, which is supposed to make 6 ounces. Some water stays in the bottom, so about 4.5 to 5 ounces of coffee is brewed. I heat about one ounce of water in a mug in the microwave while the pot is brewing, then pour the coffee into the hot water to dilute it.

Mine is 12 cups. What may be confusing on the filter issue is that there is a "water filter" (that I don't use) for the water before it hits the coffee. I don't use it 'cause I'm not that d*mn picky. The basket where the coffee goes is a standard plastic basket where you put paper filters.

I was able to pour just shy of two cups of water into the mug so I'd say 12 ounce mugs. The water left in the measuring cup was maybe 2 ounces max.

Yes, simply adjust the water and grounds to your needs for the moment - however, the indicator shows up at 14 cups, so if you are brewing less than that, then it may be a little difficult to judge.

The description says 8 cups but 6 cups (48 ounces) is more accurate. If you try to top it off, you will end up with some grounds in your coffee. That being said - absolutely love this french press - still using it every day with no problems.

We use about 1oz to a 12oz mug, that equates to about 70-75 8oz cups. Depends on your taste as to how strong you make it.

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.

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.

I'd say about three cups, maybe more, are in a 12 ounce bag. The bag lasts me a good while.

millimeters high from the bottom of any cup? i guess it depends on what the circumference of the cup is. If this is a 6-cup, with one cup of espresso being 2 oz, that means it makes 12 fl oz of espresso which is roughly 360 mL

I use it to make about 12 ounces of coffee - you might be able to squeeze in a few more ounces.
