I already have a cafetiere from Bodum for a capacity of 1 liter. Now even a heater for was Offered 3 cups. That seemed to me to be a way to not always use the big pot. However, after receipt of the shipment, I realized that this heater not content for 3 cups is suitable. Unless Bodum speaks of small espresso cups. 3 ordinary coffee cups (no gifts) can not accommodate here. That's why I returned the cafetiere.
