How much coffee can the top &amp; drawer hold at one time? Reviewers said it brewed from 1 cup to 12 cups, but can someone give a measurement (oz/cups)?

Holds about 3 tablespoons of whole beans at one time, so enough between 3 and 4 cups of brewed coffee if you use standard recommendations for brewing.

It holds 12 8 ounce cups only if you fill it to the very top of the rim of the pot and then you could not perk it! The 12 cups--where they have the measurement on the side saying it is 12 cups-- is really about 8 cups. So when they say 12 cups they do not mean 8 ounce cups.

I would say this makes ONE big cup of coffee, 4 cup coffee maker when the standard is 12. Hope that helps.

The pot holds 16 ounces, which is enough to brew 12 ounces of coffee. The other 4 ounces get left in the grounds.

Definitely more than one cup of coffee. 3-4 at least. I typically add a bit more than it will hold in one go for a 5 cup French press.

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.

It makes 1 cup (8 oz) at a time. You must refill it for each cup of coffee. Actually, you can fill it twice with a normal sized bottle of water (convenient). This is the first model Keurig put out for single serve and it is very cool. They came out with the newer model (makes 3 different size cups), but it is clunky looking and still only makes 1 cup at a time. If you can still get this model I'd grab it up.

That's not an easy answer... The stronger the coffee, the smaller the portion. If you like coffee as the manufacturer recommends, then 8 Ounces. If you like yours on the lighter side like a Dunkin Donuts, then roughly 12 ounces. You see, the one button operation brews the coffee, based on the bar code, to the manufacturers spec but, after the brewing is completed, you're given 10 seconds to force more water through the brewer so you can tailor the coffee to your liking.

Based on Casey's answer they are referring to "Coffee cups" capacity which are typically 5 ounce "Cups" or a bit less. I would fill it to the 12 cups marked level and then measure the contents accurately as I emptied the pot or weigh it while empty and full and then calculate the capacity. I hate makers who do not list capacities in pints, quarts, milliliters or Liters. Non standard Cups capacity is BS.

If it's like mine, it has the option to only brew 1-4 cups. You may have set it on that by accident, Look in the lower left corner of the display and see if it reads 1-4 cups.

Yes this is a 12 cup coffee maker - just read the cup sizes.................Piece of cake. Ciao

I use a drip coffee maker and make a full 12 cup pot and fill the dispenser with that- I'm assuming the cup measurement on the coffee pot is for 6 oz. cups.

The instructions say don't use 2 pods - and the way the pod holder slides into the machine makes the top pod shift out of place. I use 1 pod at a time and set the machine to 5 ounces of water. When the first cycle is done I put in a new pod and do the same again so I end up with my 10 ounce cup.The reheat time is quite quick so 1 pod at a time is no issue at all. Enjoy!

Of course this can make one serving of coffee instead of 4!!!! But I usually fill the water to the top cuz I drink 1 big cup instead of 6oz or 8oz. Depending how big your cup is, mine is at least 12oz or so and that's why I fill the water to the top!!! You can make it for 6/8oz and fill the water for 1 small cup.

If you brew enough coffee to reach the 4 cup mark on the Series 500 server, you get enough coffee for 1 1/2 standard cups (about 12 oz.). I've tried to brew just enough for one cup (about to the 3 cup mark on the 500 server) and the taste/consistency just wouldn't come out right. So the short answer is no, it is not too big.

This cup holds 12 ounces or 1-3/4 cups. I measured the amount using a measuring cup.

Yes, very much so. This is the reason I bought this. I add two teaspoon for an 8 ounce cup of coffee, it will hold more if you prefer stronger coffee. When brewing keep it at the low setting on your stovetop, otherwise the handle will get too hot, and don't place it on the countertop while it is hot, it will burn into the counter. Go for it.
