For teapots, a "cup" is 6oz. E.g., water reaches the bottom of
infuser notch on my 8-cup Chatsford with six 8oz cups of water. It
probably could hold (at least) another 8oz if I didn't use the infuser
basket.

(This is probably obvious, but if you fill a Chatsford past the bottom
of the notch in the infuser's rim, leaves can escape the infuser.)
