If I pour the water in to the measuring cup, it takes me 7 full cups and exactly one half a cup (4 fluid ounces). If my math is right, at 8 ounces per cup, 7.5 cups x 8 fluid ounces per cup equals 60 fluid ounces. Each âcupâ of coffee, according to my carafe, is six fluid ounces (60 fluid ounces divided 10 cups).
