New coffee pot brewing half cup less than the water I poured in

I keep pouring 6 cups of water into the carafe and then into the coffee maker, but then the pot only fills up with 5.5 cups of coffee. What's up with that?
ETA I know some can be lost due to water vapor, but I feel like half a cup is a lot of water lost due to vapor. At least with older pots I've never seen a discrepancy this big.
I have one of those Hamilton Beach 12 cup/single cup makers. Got it like less than a month ago. It's making some kind of weird clicking sound now.

Condensation is where water turns to vapor when heated.

coffee grain absorption.

My pot has two marks next to each cup. One shows where to fill it up to and the other shows where it will be after it brews. It's basically a half cup difference. You are losing some to evaporation and some that gets absorbed into the coffee that doesn't come out.

Just add more water and stop worrying so much

It's not water vapor. Those little dark things you put in the filter soak up a lot of water. The more coffee grinds go in, the less coffee water comes out.

Mine does the same thing

Also consider water absorbed by the coffee filter. We use 2 filters (above and below coffee grounds) and this seems to eliminate grounds getting into coffee pot.
I always add a little extra water to compensate.
