How do you get 6 cups of coffee from 8 oz of water? Is there quantum physics involved?

No The expresso maker shown makes 12oz of expresso. One can dilute the expresso to make coffee. Eight ounces of expresso could make 6 cups of coffee, not for me but some people might like it.Gary

This machine is for espresso-ish Italian style coffee the measurement is not a standard American "cup"

Anyone who takes the time to carefully choose espresso beans...+grinds them finely...+spends $$ getting an espresso maker, would know this is served in intentionally tiny espresso cups w/little saucers! (get the little silver spoons when purchasing the espresso set. U+ your guests will be glad. This does make the perfect amount for 4-6 espresso cup servings w/frothed milk. I serve it for after dinner parties w/biscotti !fabulous!

Because it is an Italian coffee maker and because the Italians drink expressos only, you do fit 6 expressos in that coffee maker.

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.

You place a cup or mug up against the machine and press, and the coffee flows into cup. Yes, there is a "gauge" that shows how much is left. I love the machine.

Well, for one 8 oz cup of coffee, it takes about two minutes. It doesn't seem any slower than a regular drip coffee maker. The only thing is you have to stand ready and keeping pouring in the water.

Hello Kathlene, I am not a Java expert, but I will try to assist. I think a #6 is good for 4 to 6 eight ounce cups depending on desired strength, the amount of coffee you use and how finely ground it is. I think one pour is good for one 6 to 8 ounce cup. A #4 gold mesh filter will work as long as you keep the ground coffee confined to the filter. Hope that helps. French roast, borderline expresso is my wakeup brew.

It depends how strong you like your coffee. 4 ounces of water would be strong coffee and 8 ounces of water would be weak coffee. I usually add 6 ounces as I dilute it with creamer. I only use these for convenience at work.

Yes- the amount of coffee you want to brew displaces from the resevoir. So if you want to brew the minimum of four cups - fill the caraf up to the 4 cup line, prepare the coffee grounds, pour water in and brew.

One cup is 8oz, two cups would be 16 oz, the remaining 6 oz is space for the processing of the machine.

you put in how many beans you want grinded, you put in how much water you want ------ the insulated metal container only holds 1/2 as much water/coffee as a glass container. Hence it is easy to put too much water in the machine and hence it overflows,,, it brews however much water you put in it. You have no clue how much coffee is in the container as it brews. so you only know it is full when it spill on your computer.

Good question. I have tried to figure that out myself and I don't think it can be done. I suppose you could trick it by adding another cup or two of water and run another brew cycle without the grind. Then there is always the microwave.

I measured the contents of the carafe. Although it is marked 8 "cups", the volume is about 40 oz., which means about 5 oz. per "cup". The cup is probably intended to be a standard coffee cup which comes with a plate set - not the common coffee mug which most people use which is about 12 oz. That being said, the Yama makes about 4 standard coffee mugs per pot. I think you'd have to make at least a half pot (2 mugs full) for good results as not all of the water goes up into the top... any less might not provide enough water in the top to actually do the brewing of the grounds.

No, the water delivery system is different. The machine holds 14 oz. of water constantly. When you want a cup of coffee, you then add the amount of water that you'd like in that serving, and that's the amount of water that is delivered to your cup, leaving 14 oz in the machine on standby. I was hesitant to buy the machine for this reason, but have found that I actually prefer this method now. I never have to worry about if my mug is 8 oz or 10 oz, I just fill it with water, dump it in the Bunn, and know that I'll get the perfect amount of coffee back.

Pretty simple, fill it with water, put the K-cup in and select how many ounces you want.

Minimum 1 drop, just pour enough water so the grounds can absorb and then release 1 drop of coffee. Maximum infinite, just keep pouring. Adjust grounds as necessary to get the flavor profile you want. For me ~14g ground is good for 8-12 oz coffee, I tried to get 16-24oz with that and lacked boldness.

You can programme either a 4oz or 8 oz coffee. You can prepare 2 coffees at a time but only 1 milk based coffee at a time because there is just 1 milk spout.

Yes it can make from one to four cups and that is in your control. You choose on how many cups of water you put in and also how how much coffee you put in for the kind of strength you want.

Just put in as much grounds and water as you need. My first cup in the morning is always a full 16oz cup, but I often make only an 8oz cup.
