So, does the hopper hold 3 cups, 4 cups, or 5 cups? Is any owner of this product willing to measure? I can understand some variation, but from 3 to 5

Mine holds a good big 4 cups I grind grains to make beer if the grinder is empty you can get another cup in. Since I grind something in the neighbor hood of 12-14 pounds of grain you get to refill the hopper. This is a home owner sized device and works as advertised I have good results with it I am pleased. There are many larger systems available but for my needs this works fine

Hello, the bag directions say 2.5 cups on the low end and as much as 4 cups depending on activity level. Glad I could help. Regards!!

Yes, it makes 4 cups just fine. In fact, I've even made less than 4 cups & it worked well.

Mine holds just a little more than 2 measuring cups. I use a large cup for coffee or tea so this works out pretty well for me. If you need more coffee or tea It's very easy to dump out the old grounds and make a new cup. This always gives you a fresh cup with no old coffee taste.

When filled fairly full -it will hold 48 ounces (six cups of water) U.S. measurements. I probably use it at the five cup level though since I choose not to fill it all the way. Hope this helps.

If it's like mine, it has the option to only brew 1-4 cups. You may have set it on that by accident, Look in the lower left corner of the display and see if it reads 1-4 cups.

There is a 4 cup marker on the coffee pot. We have never made 4 cups, but when you pour the water in close the lid the water comes out. Your coffee will absorb some of the moisture so you might want to make 5 to get 4. We love our coffee maker and use it to make tea also. Very fast... with water hot in the holding tank.

It has 3 different sizes. However, if you play around with them you can get more. For the cups I use I use the small and medium size to fill my cup. The coffee taste just same and I have a full cup.

I have a five cup maker and it fits just fine, I am sure it will fit a three cup maker or they would indicate the problem to potential buyers.

.375 cups, I use 3/4 of a cup of beans for a pot of coffee, but I need to fill the holder twice. Also so there is no spillage I use a pyrex measuring cup.

Yes, it holds 3 cups but, I dump a cup at a time into it, it makes it a lot easier to use, and to dump the clumps.My question to you is: What are you doing? Sifting everything? I use my sifter to keep my rolling board and my hands powdered up while I knead the dough, I find that 1/2 cup will do the job.

I'm sorry I can't help you with that question. I use coffee pods and I use 3 pods for my 5 cup coffee pot. I don't drink from cups, I use a mug and this system makes 3 mugs of coffee. Love the Black and Decker. It's easy and does the job.

I had similar issue when I first got my machine. Adjust the grind to finer, adjust the water volume. However, I also found the strength to be inconsistent which appears to be oily beans not sliding freeling through the hopper. I regularly push the beans toward the end of hopper to get better consistency. I also use the bypass quite often, which is much more consistent. This also gives me the ability to change beans cup by cup, but defeats the purpose of a fully automatic coffee maker.

There are grind adjustments in the bean hopper to make a cup stronger. The 3 cup settings too will adjust strength buy using less water. The middle cup setting is my favorite for a shot. As for temp no, but it comes out near boiling.

once a week you can clean and fill the hopper with beans depends on usage. when you select, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 cups on the dial, it automatically dispenses the correct amount of coffee through the grinder.

I just poured the full container of coffee into my measuring cup and it measured almost 4 cups. Our coffee cups must be large because we only get 2 or 3 cups of coffee out of it.
