Krups carafe measurement
Keith Surber
groups I guess I'll give this group a try. The deal is I have a
Krups machine and the other day I dropped the carafe (or whatever
you want to call the bally thing) off the counter. Of course it
shattered into a bazillion pieces IAW Murphy's Law. This is the
second time I've done this (think I'd learn better) and I don't
feel like paying the $15 for another one. What I'm asking is
this; would someone out there who has a Krups machine measure how
much water your carafe holds when filled up to the top of the
chrome band? I've been getting by with a rough approximation but
for peace of mind I sure would appreciate a more accurate
measurement. Thanks,...

Depending on how many cups your coffee machine makes, each cup is 6
oz. So just multiply cups * 6 to get the number of fl. ouncels.

don't pay $15 for a caraf! pay $1! If you hit your local salvation army
or goodwill or st. Vincent de Paul or other thrift store you should be
able to find a caraf(e) to fit your coffee maker. If you go to the
"as-is" goodwill you will find an even better deal than the regular
goodwill store. (look it up in the phone book or as the local goodwill if
they have an as is.)
i go to the goodwill outlet here in portland at least once a week and see
many many coffee pots (as well as other fabulous must-have items). you
may have to pick through a bunch of junk, but you will find a carafe and
maybe some great new mugs too!

Not always true. Many coffee makers use a 4-to-5 oz. cup size:
My old Krups carafe held 40 oz. of water when filled
to the 10-cup line.
My current Bunn carafe holds 48 oz. of water when filled
to the 10-cup line.

different...
besides, the cup size on coffeemakers varies with manufacturers: some have
6oz 'cups' and some have 5oz 'cups', and then there's Bodum, which I think
has a 4oz 'cup'...

Fine, the average shot is 1.5 fl. oz. Mltiply the number of shots
by that and then add as much water as you need for steaming.
