Judging by the generally customary cup size that you get in restaurants etc. The machine is designed only for about 6 cups. The statement - does not drip - is certainly applicable only for taking the jug under the filter, to me it's never been able to fill without spilling a cup - I go for the pot and cup on the sink and wipe the cup thereafter. I vemisse an automatic Heizplattenabschaltung, the screen filter is an alternative if times the filter bags should go out. From me only 2 stars because more honest with the customer can handle - a cup corresponds to 0, 2 to 0.25 liters (Wikipedia)
