Thanks for your answer. Is the amount specific? If we ask for a pot of coffee how much will we get?

It depends how big the coffee pot is. Mine makes 12 cups. If you were with a number of people at a restaurant and you kept having to wait for the server to refill your coffee, you may ask for a pot of coffee so that you could just serve yourselves, but it's not common.
