So, when it sez 1 tbs for 4 cups, is that cups like it shows on the carafe (appx 4 oz) or is that regular 8 oz cups?

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.

I used it with 4 "carafe" cups of water. It doesn't really specify on the bottle of cleaner but it worked great for me.

I used it to try to clean a Keurig style brewer. It did not work for me. I started with the same conundrum as you, but ended up dumping it all in to the final attempt. No help at all... I used the old school white wine vinegar to better results. So, in answer to your question, I don't think it makes too much of a difference. You might waste some of the Brew Rite cleaner with a slightly stronger solution, but I don't think you'll harm anything.

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 think it may be because the "cup" referred to by the manufacturer is only 6 oz. and not 8 oz., which is the volume of a true cup.

I would stay away fom the #2. The #4 actually only holds one nice sized "cup" of coffee and the grounds to make it. To fill a carafe, get the #4 and add a scoop or two of new grounds after making each "cup". Also, I agree wit Kathy re type to get.

Most coffees will tell you to use a tablespoon per "cup," but they mean a 6 oz cup. I find a rounded tablespoon works per 8 oz cup, but more if I'm making a single cup. It also depends on the grind, because that determines the surface area and how compactly it fits in the measuring spoon or scoop. I also poor the water in a bit at a time, but then with a small cone one must.

they are referring to small coffee cups, not a mug. It is about 3 cups. Since my husband and I would fight over that 2nd cup, we switched to the larger 51 oz. press.

8 oz but it fills the cup to the top. If your planning on using this for a Keurig I recommending filling it up as a 6 oz if possible.

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.

There are 3 different cup sizes, but the small cup is very small. I believe it is only 8 oz. I'm not where I can look at it and have only had it for a very short time, but I use the middle setting for my cups at home because they are bigger than 8 oz. I haven't used the large size yet.

Mine is 700 ml. I believe they also sell an 800 ml carafe. 700 ml is 23.6 oz, so if you consider a cup of coffee to be 6 oz, then it is almost four cups of coffee.

Hi, one cup is 8 ounces. A typical coffee mug is more than that, probably closer to 12 oz. We get around 4-5 of our size cups out of the 8 cup coffee maker. Hope this helps.

Not with this version, which will make as little as about 4 cups and still give you decent coffee. However they do make a 22oz. version, which you can find on Amazon, and I believe that one will make as little as 2 cups (10 oz). Someone said there is a one cup version also, but I haven't seen it.

I suspect that when they say "8 Cups" they mean 8 smallish coffee cups full. One pressing fills my large travel mug with some to spare. It's definitely on the smaller side, but without being able to keep it hot, I'd prefer that anyway

My press has the number of cups of coffee it makes stamped on the frame. An 8 cup press uses a 32oz carafe. Hope that's helpful.

I believe it's 1 cup, but it's been several years since I bought these, so I could be wrong.

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.
