if you have 2.5 pints and you add .5 cups how much do you have

Depends where in the world you are and how big your cup is.

Recipes were designed to use cups as a measure because as long as the same cup was used the proportions remained the same regardless of the cup size and each recipe could be followed exactly.

Interfering busybodies ruined a perfectly good system by deciding a cup should be approximately half a pint or 8 fluid ounces, a good deal larger than the average teacup and as you will see in the chart of new-fangled measures below, they decided a teacup is actually half a cup...

I think you should now be equipped to answer your own question...

no pot or instructions, how much water do you put in the coffee pot?Need a replacement pot for vp17 series. thank you

You should be able to pick up a replacement/new pot at your nearest Restaurant Supply store. Make sure you get a 64 oz./ 1/2 gallon pot.
Before plugging in your brewer, unscrew the sprayhead located just above where the filter basket sits and replace the basket, pour 3 pots of cold water through the opening on the top if the brewer is empty. This brewer has a reservoir that holds about 2 1/2 pots of water at brewing temperature when heated. Make sure you put an empty pot under the filter basket after pouring in the water. Water will flow from the brew basket when the reservoir has reached its capacity. Once water flows you can then plug in and energize your brewer and replace the sprayhead. It will take about 15 to 20 minutes for the brewer to reach brew temp, you will hear the heating stop. Put an empty filter and a dose of coffee (I recommend starting with a heaping measuring cup of drip ground coffee) into the filter basket, lightly shake it level, replace the basket and pour through 1 full pot of COLD water in the top. For best results pour the brewed coffee into a pre-heated thermal server if you plan on holding the coffee for more than 10 minutes or so.
Enjoy!
