I did my Ph.D. thesis explaining where the missing water goes. In a nutshell...
- absorbtion by the coffee grounds and filter, plus adhesion in the filter basket
- evaporation (you're boiling water, right?)
- Mr. Coffee coffee makers suck and sometimes a significant amount of water dribbles down the side of the coffee maker wall near the pot, never making into the pot (unknown whether that water has passed through the brewing basket first)
Note: I don't have a Ph.D. Perhaps my choice of thesis subject is to blame.
