The pot holds 36 ounces to the bottom of the metal neckband. For $9.00, you won't get a better cup of coffee.

My 6 servings pot holds 32 ounces comfortably, so when Melitta - or any other coffee maker - says 6 servings, they are a little over 5 oz cups per. That's how Mr. Coffee and other electric coffee makers measure their serving. When we make a full pot we get three to four mugs. Figure 6 servings pot has 4 mugs per (8oz each). If you want to max the pot out, it does hold 36 oz, and that comes up to the bottom of the metal rim. Pourover is the only way to go if you want a great cup of coffee. We've been using Melitta for 35 years.

Our 6 cup melita pot comfortably holds 32 oz or 4 cups of liquid. With this volume, the water level comes to about 1/8 inch from the bottom of the metal band that supports the handle. You could probably fit a few more oz, but you would have trouble pouring without spilling and splashing some liquid on a surface.The graduation marks on the side of the pot measure 6oz cups. The graduations only go up to 4 (6 oz) cups, so for 5 or 6 cups (6oz), you would need to use a measuring cup.Hope this helps.

I have an "8-cup" Bodum French press. The equivalent amount of coffee to a full press is basically half a pot in the Melitta.

Although I don't have the pot at my current location to check it for sure, I believe 36 ounces would be the total as they consider a "cup" to be 6 ozs. When I make two twelve ounce cups with the pour over method that brings the level exactly to the 4 cup level, which from memory is about the half way point, so you should be able to get at least 36 oz if not a little more with a full pot. I can verify for you early next week if you would like to know the exact capacity. It's a handy little carafe for making just a couple large mugs of coffee at a time, and versatile enough to use either the #4 Melitta or #2 Hario cones on top.

The pot holds 6 coffee servings or 6 ounces each when filled to the bottom of the metal collar that attaches the handle to the pot. This is the level the accompanying instructions indicate if a full pot.

The base of this holds 28 ounces, or 3 1/2 cups of water. My espresso yield, though, is about 24 ounces, or 3 cups. My espresso cups hold about 3 ounces, so I have 8 servings from this pot.

Although it is correct to say that 1 cup of liquid measurement is equal to 8 ozs. when it comes to a "cup of coffee" the measurement is then 6 ozs which is the size of a "standard" cup of coffee whne served in an actual dinner set "cup"

Yes, you can make less cups -- as a matter of fact, 8 cups is deceiving because their 8 cups is 5 ozs each and most people I know consider a cup to be 8 ozs, so it really doesn't make 8 cups; but I have made four with it and even two, and that works fine. I got the 8 cup size so I would be able to make a four to six cups at a time. It wouldn't work to have 8 real cups.

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.

Thanks for the info. Some pots must be tipped for the last few hot cups which can cause accidents, spills and burnsso my question really is how much is left in this pot when it stops dispensing? thanks again. m

Not sure of total oz in one pot, however 1 cup of coffee is definitely not 8 oz. Believe each cup is approx 5-6 oz. In 10 cup carafe we get a bit more than 4 cups/mugs.

Measurement taken using a standard 2C Pyrex glass measuring cup. The pot holds 9.3 8oz cups or 74.4ounces.

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 carefully filled my 10 cup pot with water, to the 10 cup line. Then measured the water by liquid oz. I measured 51 oz. liquid. Yes, my 10 cup pot holds 51 oz.

I've never really measured it, but I'd say it only makes about 8-10 oz of coffee at a time (maybe a bit more). I can generally make 2 very strong espresso drinks per pot. The "6-Cup" description is referring to cups of espresso, not 8 oz cups. Hope that helps.

It makes about two standard 6 oz cups of tea and a little bit more. I use a small mug 8 oz? and get about one and a half mugs out of it. Make sure you hold the lid when pouring your tea as it does not have a catch on it.

I have the big one that makes 8 [6 oz.] cups of coffee. So I would say 48 ozs. But there is more room for another 6 oz. if you so wish.

The coffeepot is marked up to 10 cups. "That's coffee speak." In actual measurement, the maximum amount of liquid (water) the pot holds is 6 1/4 cups.

According to this coffee machine a cup is only 5 oz. Not 8 oz which I consider a cup. For 6 cups of coffee we had 6 heaping scoops of coffee. It is the best cup of coffee you'll drink.

I have no idea what four means....all I can tell you is that this thing is large enough to use in a pot of tea...it's not for cups! Maybe the four means 4, 8oz cups?

Checked out the back packaging and it says: A teaspoon is ideal for a 6 to 8 ounce cup. If you desire pot size brewing, maybe there are other sizes available. Hope this helps in your purchase.
