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 just measured them. The small pot....holds 4 cups of liquid.(1 quart) The larger pot....holds 10 cups of liquid.(2 and 1/2 quarts) Hope that helps. Btw: OUTstanding pans!!!!! Sooooo happy with them!!!

You know, I'm not too sure. It is the same size as a standard household coffee pot. I assume each cup is around 6 ounces. I bought mine to use at work, and I'm not at work today so I can't check. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

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.

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.

Different coffee pot manufactures' cups are not a true cup. A cup is defined by 8oz, or half a pint. 1 litre is roughly 33.8oz. This bunn pot holds 2.5 litres, which would be 84.5oz or 10.5 (8oz) cups. Geek speak aside, my Mr. Coffee pot brews 12 cups and fills mine bunn pot about 3/4 full. Here is a link to the unit converter on google: https://www.google.com/search?q=unit+converter This may help you get a better understanding of how much the bunn pot really holds. Hope this helps!!

A liquid measuring cup is 8 oz, but my coffee cups hold 4 oz. I suppose that's why so many recipes fail. People use coffe cups to measure ingredients, and they are short by half.

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.

I see someone responded "1 quart". I measured it and it holds 8 cups of water easily = 2 quart

I asked the same question four months ago and never got a reply. This is a simple glitch to fix at the site; wake someone up. I had to buy it to find out. IT IS A 500 ml POT. 220 ml (aprx 7 oz.) will fill the bottom portion below the hammered design if you just want to make 2 good demi-tasse cups of coffee minus the solids. You can make a decent small coffee as well as a larger amount to share so don't listen to much of the chatter from the "experts" online regarding appropriate size to buy. Well made, nice design, worth the extra dollars for a very solid ibrik. Now I will travel back in time and assure myself I am buying the correct pot.

It holds 8 oz if filled to the line - that is 1 cup.. Another answer incorrectly states that 1 cup equals 16 oz. I use it to mix rubs for ribs, etc. and the capacity is more that adequate.

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 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.

Approx. 20-22 oz. Enough for 2 medium sized coffees. It's a great coffeemaker if you drink 1-2 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.

Very often a cup of coffee is considered 6oz so I would guess this is a 48 oz capacity. Just my 2 cents. I'm also researching a new press so do not own this brand. Don't take that as a definite just something to consider.

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.
