What is the capacity of these coffee pots in fluid ounces? Does the 8-ounce pot = 64 ounces (2 quarts)? Or are they using some other volume for a "cup"?

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"

Ours is out in the camper (and it is raining cats and dogs!) so I am not going to go measure it. BUT, I can say we get a couple cups of coffee each out of it, enough for breakfast for the two of us. They might be quoting the pot filled to the brim with liquid (which is obviously not how it would be used) so if you are really in the market for one that holds a lot of coffee, like for 4 people or something, you might want to keep looking. I do like it a lot though, and would buy another one if aliens took this one. (Which, luckily, hardly happens anymore.)

These GSI pots are 5 fluid ounces for each 'cup'. An '8 cup pot' can brew 40oz of coffee, less a bit for steam and water absorbed by the grounds. The smallest cup of coffee on the Starbucks menu is 12oz. Most coffee cups hold 9-15 oz. So, if you want 64oz (about 5-6 average mugs of coffee), you will want the '12 cup' pot.

I don't know how many ounces, but it was a very small cup. When I got the new pot, I got rid of this one.

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.

8 ounce is correct. It says 120 6oz cups. You must realize this is 1/2 pound of freeze dried coffee granules. It's a generous sized jar and being a multi-pack - well - it lasts me quite a long time and I drink it in a 16oz mug. Hope this helps.

I do believe you mean an 8 CUP not 8 ounce (it is a 32 ounce)... and while I do not own a Starbucks French Press, you can measure the dimensions and check them against the dimensions given in the details of the Bodum carafe profile. Wishing you many good cups...

16oz of coffee yes. But the maximum capacity is 32oz. Instructions clearly state that you must not fill the pot more than the bottom of the black filter basket, which is about 32oz. Being that a 'cup' is 8oz, then the capacity is 4 cups (32/8=4). This is in contradiction to the poster who says it will make 8 "large" cups - no way.

8 ounces--the answer is in the description of the cups. The cups do not come with that information.

Violet, it's 26 ounces. I use an 8 ounce coffee mug, so at that level I get 3 cups of coffee with just a little left in the pot

yes, but it's 8oz cups not a typical mug which holds a lot more. I like the coffee pot though I wish I had bought it on sale... I saw it on sale later on.

10 ounces this is the coffee standard for each cup. Softbrew used this for their 2 cup coffee pot.

They are nominally 8-, 12- and 16 quart. That's not like a Pyrex measuring cup, where there is a little room above the nominal capacity; that more like a stainless steel measurre, where you get a heaping measure and then use a flat blade to make the contents flush with the top. I used to work in a lab where we would use the 20- and 30-gallon pots regularly. I find myself using the smallest one all the time, and rarelt the larger ones.

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.

Weight ounces and volume ounces are two different things. 8 ounces in volume is a 1 measuring cup's worth. Who cares what it weighs. One jar (one cup's worth) lasts several months and is just as good on my Mauviel copper as their much more expensive product.

Regular 8oz cups or 32oz total. Coffee carafes are as you mentioned measured differently even by different coffee makers. Caution: don't mix much stronger than recomnended which can cause "foaming" issues. Good luck.

There are 32 ounces to a quart. As a clarification: I know you are the buyer, but if you asked the seller, Amazon, your question, they should have been able to tell you how many ounces are in a quart...since they are selling the damned stuff!

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).

I own one, and wondered about the same thing. ( The 12 cup one) So I measured how many 8 oz cup it would hold. I found out it holds 7 8 oz cups plus 1/4 cup+ two more ounces. So their cup is smaller than and actual cup. 58 oz divided by 12= 4.83 oz.
