Here's one way to do it.

1. Fill the 6 cm cup.

2. Pour its contents into the 10 cm cup. This leaves 4 cm yet to be filled.

3. Refill the 6 cm cup and use it to fill the 10 cm cup. This leaves 2 cm in the 6 cm cup.

4. Empty the 10 cm cup and add the 2 cm from the 6 cm cup.

5. Refill the 6 cm cup.

6. Pour its contents into the 10 cm cup.

The 10 cm cup now contains 8 cm of water.
