NST -
I still contend that a more dominant effect is not the "lost water" but
the apples/oranges of *filling* by 8oz cups and *drinking* by 10-16 oz
cups...
Just sayin'

Ok, so, I did the experiment.
In a ten cup coffee maker I took a cup of water and pre soaked the
grounds, taking off what dribbled through and pouring it back through
until I had saturated the grounds. The the grounds required a little
short of a cup to saturate. Then I put ten cups of water in the
coffeemaker and let it rip. I got ten cups of coffee out of it. The
Densmore effect is due to the grounds. Qed.

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.^_^
