Moka Pot, how many cups!

accroul, Jan 7, 9:55pm
How do you work out the number of servings a certain size Moka pot will produce! I have no instructions.

Italian coffe pots like the Bialetti for instance measure theirs as espresso cup size. So, their 6 cup espresso will serve six espresso size cups

Short of going out & buying espresso cups so I can measure. is there any other way to find out!

The list does not copy quite the same, but the espresso size is the left hand one, then metric equivalent and standard equivalent.

Thanks cooks, willcheck when I make tonight's coffee's. From those measurements, it's looking like it might be a 6 cup.

Sorry, the list looks a bit odd, it didn't copy quite the way it was on the page.
