How Many Oz in a Coffee Pot?
Do you ever wonder how many ounces are in a coffee pot? Although the size can vary, here is a general guide to help you know how much coffee to make for your guests.
Standard Pot Sizes
- 4 Cup Pot: This pot will typically make around 20 ounces (2.5 cups) of coffee.
- 8 Cup Pot: This size pot can make approximately 40 ounces (5 cups) of coffee.
- 12 Cup Pot: On average, a 12 cup pot will make 60 ounces (7.5 cups) of coffee.
Maximizing Your Brew
If you want to maximize the amount of coffee you brew, a 6 to 1 ratio of water to coffee (6 cups of water to 1 cup of grounds) is a good starting point. If you wish to measure it in ounces, it would be equal to 48 ounces of water for every 8 ounces of coffee grounds.
Using a Scale
If you would like to be more precise about measuring your coffee and water, you can use a kitchen scale like you would use for baking. Weigh out your coffee grounds and use that measurement as your base to know how much water to use. This is the most reliable way to ensure your coffee is just right.
