Ooops... the "reply-to" on the list reflector seems not to be the list by default, so this just went to Merle the first time!

Gil -

   I don't use an automated coffee maker often, but when I do (e.g.
   motel or visiting a friend) I forget that the filling system is
   measured in 8 oz cups but my expectations are closer to a 12 ounce
   mugfull, so 4 cups of water in yields something closer to 2.5 mugs
   out and of course if I"m on the west coast, the mugs are 16 ouncers
   which REALLY aggravates the situation!

PS.  a more whimsical answer is that you can probably expect to find the extra coffee in your laundry from time to time and some mismatched socks in your coffeemaker somewhere down the line!

Gillian, all of the initial water is boiled, so some of the steam escapes from the coffeemaker, and some of the rest is in the wet grounds in the filter basket.  There may well be something else happening, but this accounts for some of it.

    What on earth happens to some of the coffe when I make it drop
    style? I prepare 6-8 cups so as if someone stops by they can have
    a bit as well.
    But then it only gives a bit over 4-5 cups.

    Does some invisible dwarf drink a bit of it before it gets to the
    Kareff(sp)? oO

    I am genuinly perplexed by this.^_^
