I am trying to decide between the 12oz and the 24 oz size. What size would work for Turkish coffee for 4 people (tiny cups)?

Either size should work fine, however, the 12 oz. size will probably fit better with a standard size espresso machine and be less cumbersome.

Based on what I know about Turkish coffee drinkers, myself included :) is, that even though we drink the coffee from the "tiny cups" it's customary to pour another" tiny one" after the first one..., so you would be better of with 24 oz.But, if that reason does not pursue you there is another one...when you cook Turkish coffee, the coffee will boil over in 12 oz one, or at least the level of coffee will rise right before its done, so 12 oz might overflow :)Enjoy it!!!!

With the 8-cup, the least amount is 5 (20oz)--any smaller, and I think the coffee would end up a bit diluted by the water that has to remain in the bottom, and also you might not get good extraction with a low water level up top. If you consistently want small servings (2-cup/8oz, 3-cup/12oz) then I'd recommend one of the smaller Yama siphons.

I use 12 ounce cups and I get 2 cups, so if it is meant the usual 8 ounce,either way it is 24 ounces. I have had crockery cups and tea pots in the past, but prefer glass cup with my glass teapot. Seems "fresher tasting!"

With coffee and tea a 'cup' is usually considered 5-7 fl oz. In this brewer, it's 5 fl oz. So, 12 cups is just under 60 oz of brewed coffee (accounting for water left in the grounds and a little evaporation). Measure your mugs and divide into 60. I have some huge mugs marked 16 oz, but that's to the top. I actually pour about 13-14 oz into them, so I'd get about 4.5 mugs - equal to nearly 3 normal 'cups'. That's a lot of coffee! :) I don't think you're really going to find a larger residential brewer, whether it's this 'on demand' style or a standard carafe. Everything I've seen has 40-60 oz reservoirs and carafes (8-12 5-oz cups). With coffee and tea a 'cup' is usually considered 5-7 fl oz. In this brewer, it's 5 fl oz.

It has markings for 6 and 8 cups, these are European 5oz cups. I wouldn't go much below the 6 or you won't get enough water to properly brew. So I would say about 25oz.

Seems like an odd question for a coffee cup. Maybe providing the number of ounces would be more appropriate?

I have the 12 cup model. I'd say it's always better to go with the largest model if you ever think you'd need it. You can always make less, say 4 cups in the 12 cup model. Just my $.02.

It does not make 8 cups. What that means is 8, 4-oz cups (a European sized coffee). It will make 32-oz at one time. Regular, U.S.-sized coffee cups are about 10-12 oz. each, so if you are looking to make a ton of coffee, you cannot. I generally make 32-oz in the morning and it gives me a cup for my husband and nearly 2 cups for me.

I have the 6 cup Moka Express and its great for making about two 3 ounce cups of coffee. I could drink the whole thing myself, but its enough to share!

I have the 4 cup and the 12 cup---the 12 cup will not perk unless it is a full pot--hence why I bought the 4 cup--which is really only two reg size cups when full.

I believe its only 6 cups. I had a 10 previously and its definitely not that big.

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.

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

I don't think the cup size matters as it's all dependant to what size you pick when brewing the coffee. Is 8oz, 10oz, 12oz

A standard 8-10 oz size coffee mug (4inches high) works best, but you can use a larger size if you pull the drip tray out or tilt the mug slightly as you slide it under the spout. If indeed you mean a "tumbler," the same is true 4 inches works best.

Ok. You want a 3:1:1 look for that ratio on top of the cup. You want a final volume of 24 oz. look on the oz on the side then look back to the ratio and see what number is closest to 24 oz in the last colum. Paint in first colum to that number, actuator to the sane number in the second and reducer in the third.

I put 4 tablespoons in my 12 cup coffee maker. Make this and you can adjust from there if you like it weaker or stronger.
