Hello, somebody was asking about the actual capacity of a 4-cup standard
(not bone-china) Chatsford tea pot from Upton. I just received mine and,
with the infuser basket in, it's a shade shy of 32 oz. Filled to the very
brim it's about 31 oz. Just under 4 cups.

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.)


N.

Well whatever you say, but in that case the 4-cup pot easily holds 5 cups.
(30+ oz.)

Yes, in tea parlance, a cup is 6 oz. Therefore, the capacity of a 4-cup pot
is at least 24 oz., not 32.

The 6 oz cup also applies to coffee. The other 2 oz of the standard 8 oz
measure isn't used to allow the addition of milk to the cup.

Of course, it's obvious!

But, I keep forgetting anyway and almost always nearly overfill.

Thank you! I asked for that information.

I appreciate the fact that you posted this! Does the cover lock into place
without the infuser? I don't like to allow the leaves to steep in the tea
beyond time.

The lid is like a normal teapot lid, that is, it has a little tab to help it
stay on while pouring.

Since the pot may be used with or without the infuser basket, you'll need to
remove the tea to halt infusing as with many typical pots whether the tea is
loose or in an infusing device such as a basket or teabag(s).

The basket itself has a slot to allow the tab of the lid to fit through as
is shown at:

Yes it does.. the lid fits, locks, and operates the same with or without the
infuser.

Is that when it's filled to the bottom edge of the basket's notch?

I previously posted the capacity of my 4-cup bone china Chatsford as 24 oz
w/o mentioning that's at the highest level possible w/o going over the edge
of the basket's notch.

Same with my red 2-cup Arthur Wood; it holds 16 oz when filled to the edge
of the notch.
