I would point out just because opinions differ on that, (I read a review that talked about 10 people, another 6-7) and personally I think it is suitable for up to 6 people maximum.
To give you an idea:
In mine I put a little less vegetables 2kg (including chick peas 400g), 800g of beef, 6 chicken pieces (thighs beautiful 3) and 12 merguez.
My couscous was so full.
I have 1 kg of semolina, but there was enough room for 2 kg.
I was a bit scared when I saw the size of the holes for the steam basket, but not without worries, no seed in the broth (I mean taking seeds)
NB: The couscous is indicated as being 8.5 L. The lower part is 24 cm in diameter and 18 cm high.
For more meals or big eater so I would advise to size up.
