how much water can be poured in at once? enough for a 12 c carafe or thermos?

We like our coffee strong so don't use too much water. We use the #6 filters to make coffee directly into a steel thermos which is about 8 cups with the last cup extra into a mug. We fill the filter twice with boiling water. We have used this method for many years camping; makes the best coffee. You can filter directly into the thermos at night, and the coffee is hot in the morning- no waiting!

With a bit over one cup of grounds (10 Tbs) for 5 cups (6 oz) for coffee = 30 oz. of water.So I use a 32 oz measuring cup and let the coffee sit for 2 min then pour in the filter.This varies sometimes we can do it in one shot and other times it takes two pours.Anyway that's just for 5 cups (6oz) of coffee.

The funnel holds 4 cups of liquid max. I would place all 6 scoops of coffee into the cone and then add slightly less than 4 cups in 3 repetitions.

I don't clearly understand the question. If you are asking if the filter will hold enough ground coffee to make twelve cups of coffee at one time then the answer is yes.

No, I have a 8 cup/48 oz thermos (I think), and I have to refill it at least twice, I'm pretty sure. But it's not such a bad thing because the water is also cooling while it's sitting in the filter. So I hit the "boil" button again on the water boiler, and do each refill with freshly-boiled water, so it's hotter in the carafe.

No. Only about one and one half cups, which is about 3 cups in coffee maker terms. So you need to pour thru in several stages thoroughly wetting the grounds on the first pour. Also the hole in the pour thru device is to large. I made mine smaller with the end of a plastic cable tie, (it's what I had handy). It sure makes good coffee though. Hope this helps.

Is this a trick question? It's a six cup filter so six cups can be held within the filter, I assume; however, as you are pouring water it the top, coffee is pouring out the bottom. I've always thought that a slow pour made better stronger coffee...washing back down the damp grounds that cling to the side. So the way I pour. which maybe takes a minute, probably makes eight or nine cups of coffee. Wait two to five minutes and pour the remaining heated water to get the full twelve cups if you wish. Probably not ideal for filling a serve yourself carafe in a coffe shop. You'd likely want to leave the apparatus unattended for a couple of minutes and do something else.

If you fill the carafe just to the bottom of the neck - it holds 2 cups - 16 oz.

36ounces can be brewed easily. There is still some room left at the top, but I personally would not fill the pot up much more to heat the water.

I think the minimum is 6 cups of coffee which is the bottom line indented inside the pot. (That would make you 4 12 oz. mugs of coffee.) You can do a trial run with just water to see how much less will still be enough for the boiling water to perc up to the basket. You may also have to experiment with perc times and amount of coffee to get the strength you want. With less water you may not need to let it go for 10 minutes. I also found that a strong brand of coffee requires less brewing time. Good luck.

This item doesn't have a carafe. It holds (up to 12 cups) of the brewed coffee INSIDE the unit. This is a single serving at a time unit. Place your cup of any size under and pull down the level until you have the desired amount in your cup. The unit keeps the coffee hot for two hours. You can always buy an insulated carafe and pour(cups full) into it for serving purposes.

I timed it. From cold tap water, it started brewing in 20 seconds and completed with a 12-cupful carafe in just under 10 minutes. This was on the "regular" setting. "Bold" would of course take a little longer but probably not much.

As it happens, I just boiled water for coffee using my bodium French press which is supposed to be an 8 cup/ Itook about 15 minutes. I am not sure exactly how many onces of water that is, but I should also say it is important not to overfill it. It will still work quickly,

I would say 4 cups which would be half the water allowed would be the least amount you could make at one process My assumption only, the directions does not note how little you can make at one processing. I always make the full 8 cups, It is better brewed coffee too!

I measured this weekend - there are two markings inside the carafe: 2 and 4. 2 = 4oz, 4 = 8oz. Total capacity to the top = 12oz.

Not really. There's no measuring line on the carafe for smaller amounts, but you could draw a line on the frame or even eyeball it if you're good at that. Quality would be no different, as long as you use the same proportion of grounds to water. The difference in surface area would just result in the coffee cooling down faster than in a 1 or 2 cup French Press.

Depends on your coffee strength and how much water you use. I use one heaping tablespoon per 8 oz. The more the better!

I would allow for at least 9 inches because it is round on the sides not flat. As far as carafe it says 12 cups but if your using a mug which I do I'd say 4 maybe 5 cups. Hope this helps

You can make any amount up to 7 (8oz) cups. They call it a 10 cup brewer but that's only if you're using 5-6 oz tea cups. The thermal carafe is stainless steel in and out. I hot water reservoir tank in the brewer is also stainless steel. This thing makes great coffee every time FAST. Love it.

While it is recommended to mix 1 to 2 tablespoons or more per cup of hot water, it really depends on how much you put inside of a cup, as it can vary from person to person.

If you fill it up to the top, it makes about two 12oz cups of coffee. oh wait, there are a ton of answers here.

16 ounces would be the 'standard' answer if the carafe uses American standards. But if it's British, then 20 would be the capacity.

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.
