Additional filters are available for an additional charge. "Cup" refers to Yama's idea of what a cup should be and equals about 3-4 ounces for each cup.

I have used a Yama 8 cup vac-Pot for some two years now and am totally delighted with it. It is not only visually attractive, I still love to watch the vacuum siphon the brewed coffee into the pot below. I'm still amazed at how dry the spent coffee is after the siphon has drawn the coffee down through the grounds and into the pot. I've found that the ideal brewing time for the best tasting coffee is four (4) minutes, just like brew time for a French Press. The coffee is consistently delicious to the last drop.
My only wish is that it would make more coffee as it only makes about two and a half standard cups of coffee.
I couldn't recommend it higher. I'm going to buy an extra one to have on the shelf just in case I drop and break the one I use daily.
