The 10 cup capacity refers to smaller coffee cups; if you’re filling a good-sized mug then you should get enough coffee to fill it five times. If you’re looking for a coffee maker that can produce 10 mugs of coffee in one brew, this isn’t the appliance for you. The Cuisinart Grind & Brew Auto is about the size we’d expect for this style of coffee maker, measuring 15 x 8 x 8.1 inches/ 38 x 20.3 x 20.6cm .
