Haven't fully filled it as the cup only holds 16-18 oz. but it will hold at least 3-4 heaping tbsp of grounds. I usually use 1 1/2 a 2. It makes a nice cup of coffee.

To make 30 cups it takes about 20 minutes, so you can figure around 40 minutes for a full 55 cups.

You need room for the coffee and the press filter, so 3.5 cups is what I usually get. You get 3 "clean" 8oz cups- after that it can get a bit "muddy" depending on your grind (coarse is better), how long you let it settle (patience grasshopper) and if you pour it all out slowly at one go (going back to the upright position between pours muddies it). The press is 34 oz. so therefore, roughly between 3 to 4 cups.

Yes, I usually make only 2-4 cups. I just had to learn to adjust the amount of course ground coffee instead of finely ground.

A little less than 9 cups is my guess, since that's how much water you put in. Some moisture is stuck in the beans, so that is lost, but most comes through. I usually let it drain while I'm at work, rather than the usually suggested half hour. I've found that I get much more of the coffee out of the grounds and into the carafe.

The SCAA (Specialty Coffee Association of America) recommends " a ratio of 1.63 grams (whole bean) coffee per 1 fluid ounce of water". So 34 oz would need 55 grams. More SCAA recommedations here: http://www.scaa.org/?page=resources&d;=cupping-standards

One pound of coffee makes makes 2 quarts of coffee concentrate. I run it through filled full once and I do it again with only half of the water using the same coffe. If you are making hot coffee, you would use approximately 1 oz of concentrate in your cup and add tap water before heating in the microwave. That would be 64 cups of coffee in one pound of concentrate. When making cold coffee I use a 2 oz.. measure of concentrate over ice in a large plastic insulated cup with a lid (the kind you get at the store that come in pretty colors), I then add about 2 tablespoons of flavoring that I buy at Bed Bath and Beyond and top that all off with skim milk. All of this depends on how strong you like your coffe and flavorings? In my opinion it is better then the ones you get at the fancy coffee places! You just need to play with the measurements a little. Hope this helps.

filled full the grinder pre-grind holds 40-42 grams of beans.Ground it has a line for one and two cups. the 2 cup line of fresh ground beans makes a stout pot of coffee in the Mr Coffee 12 cup maker. in my Aero press oh la la. hope this helps.

With good, freshly roasted and ground coffee, 50 grams is too much coffee for a 34 oz french press. I use more like 30 to 35 grams of American or French roast, and I like strongly brewed coffee.

These GSI pots are 5 fluid ounces for each 'cup'. An '8 cup pot' can brew 40oz of coffee, less a bit for steam and water absorbed by the grounds. The smallest cup of coffee on the Starbucks menu is 12oz. Most coffee cups hold 9-15 oz. So, if you want 64oz (about 5-6 average mugs of coffee), you will want the '12 cup' pot.

i use approximately 1/2 pound of good, medium roast ground coffee for 36 cups in my model l1200.(my user guide suggests 3 1/2 cups coffee for medium brew); amounts can be varied to suit personal taste and particular coffee strengths/blends.

Just got mine yesterday. Agree with weighing the coffee. I use 40g of French Roast for a liter of french press. Setting the timer to 6 and using the next to last setting, it ground the beans in about half that time. Turning the bean hopper to the no-grind position, the timer zipped right down to zero without running for the remaining time.

Thank you for the advice! I've tested 2 of the included samples using 9-10oz and using the pulse button and it's not to bad... like I said I'm pretty bland when it comes to my coffee :) I bet a 12gram pod and maybe using pulse will be perfect! There aren't any reusable pods yet for this machine that would let me use my own ground coffee are there?

Yes. Using a pour-over method, I brew 28 grams of coffee using 415 grams of water. This equates to about 2 cups of coffee. Just pour more water over the grounds as space allows.

I don't suggest you buy this one, you can try buy smaller. Usually I use 16 cups for around 30-40 people

There is a guide on the filter basket. For 80 cups of coffee, about 5 cups of grounds. For 100 cups, about 6 1/2 cups of coffee grounds.
