Is there a bigger marketing lie than "makes up to 12 cups of coffee"
Posted on 1/10/15 at 3:30 pm

If I fill up a coffee maker that says it makes 12 cups, I get MAYBE 5 out of it. I fill mine up to 6 every morning and get 2 cups
18

Wat?
Posted on 1/10/15 at 3:31 pm to Tiger1242
I'll never figure out the metric system
Posted on 1/10/15 at 3:31 pm to Tiger1242
How big are your cups
Posted on 1/10/15 at 3:32 pm to Tiger1242
Cup = 8 oz
Your oversized 18 oz "cup" =\= an actual cup

No no no, I'm talking 8oz cups here

It's probably referring to the measurement cups and not receptacle cup.
Posted on 1/10/15 at 3:33 pm to Tiger1242
A cup is a unit of measurement and I guess that is what they are saying. It's misleading for sure but not a lie.

I agree with the OP. Even for 8oz cups
Posted on 1/10/15 at 3:35 pm to Tiger1242
Then are you filling the reservoir all the way up and accounting for water that will evaporate during brewing?
I've never run into an issue of a coffee maker not making 12 full, 8oz cups of coffee I guess.

Here's a bigger one.
Uber claiming that you can make 90k/year as a driver.

so this is what you deleted earlier?
Posted on 1/10/15 at 3:36 pm to BluegrassBelle
I do make strong coffee, so maybe I get more evaporation than most people bc it has more beans to get through
Posted on 1/10/15 at 3:36 pm to BluegrassBelle
Cup of coffee = 6 oz.
Posted on 1/10/15 at 3:36 pm to Tiger1242
A "cup of coffee" is 4 oz.

Mine too. For just my husband, I fill it up to 4 and he gets one largeish mug out of that.

Now I have seen, "a cup of coffee is 8oz, 6oz, 4oz" in this thread alone. Which is it people?
Posted on 1/10/15 at 3:40 pm to Tiger1242
Depending on the brand, they consider a "cup" of coffee to be between 4 and 6 ounces, rarely 8. I've seen 4, 5, and 6.

I just measured it with an 8 oz cup measure, and a cup on my coffee maker came out to be 6 oz. (My "4" water line on the coffee maker is 3-8oz cup measures full, which would be 24 oz.; 24/4 = 6 oz.)
A regular-sized mug filled to about 3/4" from the top is 8 oz. 6 oz in that mug goes just above halfway. I guess if you leave room for a lot of creamer, then a coffee-maker "cup" would be about right in a normal mug. If you drink it black or with little cream, then you'll obviously need more coffee.
