It says it makes up to 2 quarts, But i'm reading in the reviews it only holds 5 cups.. so how does that work then?

It comes with 2 containers- Large 7.5 cup and small 6.75 cups. This may be the difference.

I'm pretty sure that it holds exactly 6 cups when filled up to the bottom of the weld seam around the spout.(My 2 qt Revere holds exactly 2 qt when filled to that point)I changed from using the Revere Ware 6 cup because even though I only make a couple cups of coffee each AM I found this pot inadequate, and if you fill it close to full (as with any Revere Ware pot)it will spit hot water out around the closed spout. Also it's not large enough to heat much water for other purposes.

If you were to fill it right to the top, it holds 1.3 litres, or 5 1/2 cups, but that is impractical. You probably would not want to make more than about a quart or a litre. I have made both natto and yoghurt in it. When I make natto, I use 1 cup of beans, which doubles to 2 cups after soaking. 2 cups of natto is so much that I usually end up freezing some of it, because it lasts me a couple of weeks.

The liquid volume is 3 quarts. That is to the rim. You can comfortably work with 2.5 quarts. On a side note, this is the best double boiler I have ever used.

It will hold 4 quarts to the very top, but with 3 quarts there is about an inch to spare from the top. If you have something boiling, you would not want more than 2.5 quarts. I just love this skillet! It is so easy to clean, and I really like that extra handle to hold the skillet when removing from the stove. It is well worth the buy!

Yes, you can make less cups -- as a matter of fact, 8 cups is deceiving because their 8 cups is 5 ozs each and most people I know consider a cup to be 8 ozs, so it really doesn't make 8 cups; but I have made four with it and even two, and that works fine. I got the 8 cup size so I would be able to make a four to six cups at a time. It wouldn't work to have 8 real cups.

The description says each dish is 2.5 liters (14 servings).....which would make it somewhat more than 2.5 quarts for each dish.

It holds about 3 quarts on each side. So 1.5 gallons total. When full, I can run mine for a full 24 hours between fill ups.

I'm not sure of it's size. I had to return this item because it was to large. I would think it is 5 quarts. Call the company.

I use this to strain yogurt which I make in a two quart Yogotherm. It will hold more than a quart--about 5 to 5 1/2 cups initially. But if you're willing to let the whey drain off for 15-30 minutes, you can eventually add a full 8 cups (2 quarts).

It's a 2-quart kettle, so 6-8 cups of tea, I think - you lose some water to the leaves and it depends on how big and how full your cups are

I measured. Everyone is right. More than a quart and less than a gallon. Answer: 10 cups or 2 1/2 quarts.

It holds just over 5 cups of water when full. Don't fill it completely to the top, however, since it could bubble over when boiling.

The description states that it hold two quarts. I havn't used mine yet, but it is a large pot.

Oh funny! I long forgot I bought this for my son (and so did he, as I had to dig around the garden items in the shed to find it!). But I'm so happy to be of assistance here.When filled to its maximum capacity (almost spilling out), it holds nearly 900 mL or 3 and 2/3 cups or nearly a quart. Hope that helps!

Two small cups. It looks like it holds more, but surprisingly it doesn't. It does heat quickly!

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.
