My French press holds exactly 5 cups of water.. Is the 8 cup the size I need? It is also 7 inches tall, and a little under 4 inches wide... Thanks

It is 34 ounces, so that's 4 8-oz cups, plus. It is a little less than 7" tall, and nearly 4" in diameter at the brim. The best comparison is that the press from my Bodum fits and works as in the original. You're welcome.

I believe you'll find that the original 5 cup plunger won't reach the bottom of the larger carafe, and you'll have a pool of "wasted" coffee each time.

Hmm, I just measured my replacement press, from bon Jour. I used it to replace the original Boden press carafe which did not survive gravity...;-) This carafe measures 3 3/4 on he inside and is just short of 7" tall... it holds 4 cups only, not five, according to my measure... hope this helps. In other words, it will hold 32 ounces... I have no idea how the industry measures a cup of coffee...some use a 6 ounce as the ideal cup measure, go figure...

No, the 8 cup French Press replacement glass will only hold a maximum of 4 cups of water.

Mastercraft sounds like a knock off brand so may not be a perfect fit. You will have to go by the measurements provided with the illustration. Measure the diameter of the top and the height to be sure. In this case that is 7 inches tall and 3.75 inche across (not including the pour spout). Don't go by cup size. French cups are smaller.

I think you have it the other way round. Because a common measure of a cup of coffee is considered 6 oz. (8 oz. would overfill the cup) This was an established measure since the 18th century French custom,) Look at all the old Teacups, notice their size.

Not sure what you are asking. Mine has a diameter of only 6 inches. An 8 cup pot with a 11-inch diameter would look more like a skillet, wouldn't it? If you're looking for something else, I'm sorry.

I have an 8.5" pot. It holds 5 cups of liquid. Makes soup for 1, with some left over; or soup for 2 with none left over.

I agree, it depends on the size of your cup, but 6 to 8 cups should be about right.Nancy A.

I have all 3 sizes of these French press coffee makers and this carafe is for the holder that has a 3.75" diameter. The one you are looking for is the smaller one.

I posted the exact dimensions in a previous answer. You can make from 2 to 8 cups.

The size is labeled as for "5 cups" but I usuallly drink my coffee fron a standard size mug and at full capacity it only provides two (2) MUGS full,, which is enough to satisfy this coffee hound. I don't know what size cups they used to make the five that they claim but they must have used very small cups...The machine does do the job very well ( I mean for Two MUGS full.)I'm happy with it.

Your measurements are approximately correct for the 12 cup Bodum french press carafe. We have a Bodum and the BonJour 12 cup replacement carafe fits perfectly. If you are asking about the 8 cup Bodum french press carafe, the BonJour 8 cup replacement carafe fits perfectely, too. The diameter of the 8 cup carafe is about an inch less than the diameter measurement in your question. We own and have broken both Bodum carafe sizes and replaced them successfully with BonJour carafes from Amazon. The Bodum carafe is more expensive than the BonJour but to me they appear identical. Keep in mind the terms 12 cup and 8 cup refer to a four ounce cup. After allowing room for the coffee grounds and a little extra coffee, my wife and I get two medium-size mugs of coffee from the 8 cup french press.

We generally get 5 mugs of coffee from it, so am thinking it must hold around 56ozs.? That would be seven cups total capacity.

If a cup is 8 ozs, then 12 cups would be 96 ozs! If the carafe holds 96 ozs of water, then you would have 12 cups! I have never measured this! When the coffee is gone, I make more! The mugs I use are larger than 8 ozs, so I don't really know how many actual 'cups' my mug holds? I may never know, because I'm not going to measure it! I have other more fun things to do!!!

Sorry that was the 8 cup. 2 cup is 4.5 inches tall & 4.5 inches in diameter at the top.

I have a 10 cup Bunn Coffee maker and I would think they would fit the 8 cup as well. I thought you used the same paper cups for all the Bunn coffee makers. I like how they come packaged. You get them all in one tube instead of a bunch of boxes to store. Sorry that I couldn't be a little more definite on my answer.

You can fill it with just enough water for one cup, but I use a 2 cup measuring cup to fill the water reservoir, and it makes me 2 good 8 oz cups of coffee. Their 5 cup capacity is actually 5 - 6oz cups. Hope this helps.

It fits the 8 cup Bodum press but NOT the 8 cup Bon Jour... from my experience of 4 years ago. The stem of the Bon Jour press has a bigger diameter. I wrote Bon Jour about this problem but no response. More people should write Bon Jour about selling their own replacement filters without having to get a new press.Lydia D.

I just measured mine. It is actually just over 7" wide and 11" from the back to the front of the coffee maker. Someone mentioned that you have to empty the tray after every use. I only have to empty mine about once a week but heard if you try pouring more than 9 oz's of water in the coffee maker that you will have to empty it more frequently.
