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!
