How many pots does it hold?

It's a half gallon. I make one 12 cup pot filled to the top. Between that and 12 lbs of sugar it's usually almost filled. I just add water or ice to fill it completely.
I go to work too early to worry about brewing more then one pot and with drinking one and half of those a day I'm OK with diluting it somewhat.
 
The only coffee thing I like is occasionally coffee flavored ice cream, lol.

If it’s a well designed truck, then yes!

Ok so now do you think there's any chance that I'm driving some yuppie type truck like that?
I lean it against the middle hump in the floor. If it stays it stays. If it doesn't then it rolls around on the floorboard until I need a drink then I blindly lean down and reach it hoping to still be on the road and in my lane when I fetch it.

Yes. I do think there’s some chance you are.
Please try not to get into an accident. Your Leghorns would hate you for it.

Lucky! It's always nice when you don't like the taste of something that's not particularly good for you to begin with. One less thing to worry about.

Coffee itself isin't terrible for you. It's all the extra crap people add to it. All the nasty creamers and sugars
 
Irish cream, brewed at home in a French press.

Hubby makes Starbucks in his little coffee maker. I think Starbucks coffee tastes burnt.

What are the top health benefits of drinking coffee?​

Your brew gives you benefits beyond an energy boost. Here are the top ways coffee can positively impact your health:

  1. You could live longer.​

    Recent studies found that coffee drinkers are less likely to die from some of the leading causes of death in women: coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease.

  2. Your body may process glucose (or sugar) better.​

    That’s the theory behind studies that found that people who drink more coffee are less likely to get type 2 diabetes.

  3. You're less likely to develop heart failure.​

    Drinking one to two cups of coffee a day may help ward off heart failure, when a weakened heart has difficulty pumping enough blood to the body.

  4. You are less likely to develop Parkinson's disease.​

    Caffeine is not only linked to a lower chance of developing Parkinson’s disease, but it may also help those with the condition better control their movements.

  5. Your liver will thank you.​

    Both regular and decaf coffee seem to have a protective effect on your liver. Research shows that coffee drinkers are more likely to have liver enzyme levels within a healthy range than people who don’t drink coffee.

  6. Your DNA will be stronger.​

    Dark roast coffee decreases breakage in DNA strands, which occur naturally but can lead to cancer or tumors if not repaired by your cells.

  7. Your odds of getting colon cancer will go way down.​

    One in 23 women develop colon cancer. But researchers found that coffee drinkers — decaf or regular — were 26 percent less likely to develop colorectal cancer.

  8. You may decrease your risk of getting Alzheimer's disease.​

    Almost two-thirds of Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease are women. But the caffeine in two cups of coffee may provide significant protection against developing the condition. In fact, researchers found that women age 65 and older who drank two to three cups of coffee a day were less likely to develop dementia in general.

  9. You're not as likely to suffer a stroke.​

    For women, drinking at least one cup of coffee a day is associated with lowered stroke risk, which is the fourth leading cause of death in women.
