Hi - a chap on FaceBook is asking:
Has anyone investigated the shape/volume of the PHC 23 cup vs the 25 cup? Is it possible that the 25 has slightly less cubic volume? Hard to tell by sight.
he says he can't find where to register for this forum and I can't recall how I did it - can either of the TonyC or TonyH advise on the volume question?
Many thanks!
Simon

Yes they have. No, the 25 cup has a larger cup shape and volume.

The volume one should be easy to check with some water. Fill one, fill the other, compare how much water will fill one versus the other.

I've never tried this myself but how about using some fine grain salt (not great lumps of sea salt) and carefully pour some into, say, the possibly larger of the two cups. When the salt is nice and level you could then pour it into the cup which should be smaller and see where the level of the salt is. There is usually a hole in the mouthpiece so would you tape over the end of the mouthpiece shank/stem and get the total volume of the mouthpiece?

This must have been done in a scientific way by someone surely?
