Therefore, manufacturers select this parameter in accordance with the general level of the coffee maker and the features of its intended use. So, you rarely have to make more than two cups of coffee at the same time, and 300 – 400 mL for such cases is usually more than enough for home use. And for use in a coffee shop or restaurant, where coffee is made often and in large quantities, large-sized devices are produced, the volume of which is already calculated in liters; recommendations for choosing the volume of a coffee maker for professional use can be found in special sources.

For comparison, the classic "demitasse" coffee cup used for espresso is about 60 mm high, a standard 200 ml disposable cup is just over 90 mm, and a 400 ml ceramic mug (standard proportions) is about 120 mm.
