I'm sorry if this was already asked a hundred times here, I'm new here, I tried to google my question to little success! I also thumbed through a few related threads here, but it was never quite what I was looking for.
I'm looking to buy two kyusu (kyusu? kyusus? ....kyusi? Plurals, huh?), one with a 120ml output, and one with a 240ml output --- Meaning, kyusu (A) is for either 2x60ml or 1x120ml cups, and kyusu (B) is for either 2x120ml cups or 3-4x60ml cups. I'm thinking two kyusu instead of one large one, because I've read that underfilling makes the tea bitter.

My question is: How much space do I have to add for the leaves and handling? Is a 150ml-capacity kyusu enough for 120ml output of tea, or should it be even larger? Similarly, is 280ml capacity the right size for 240ml of output?
If I want to check the capacity of a teapot, would I measure that larger, room-for-leaves capacity (so, the 150ml or 280ml in my case) to-the-brim or at a reasonable fill level?
I'm not sure I'm making much sense, but I hope somebody gets what I'm trying to ask!
Thanks everybody
