How much coffe do you use in the basket?

I only make one cup of coffee at a time so I use one scoop of coffee per cup or cup and a half of water.

I like strong coffee. I fill the water up to the 2-cup mark and add about 2 1/4 or so tablespoons of coffee. I do let it perk for a long time, so perhaps I could use a bit less coffee.

I use 2 scoops of coffee and perk it for 5 minutes which makes an excellent brew.

We use about 1oz to a 12oz mug, that equates to about 70-75 8oz cups. Depends on your taste as to how strong you make it.

I use a one cup measure completely full of beans for a full pot of water using my Bunn drip coffee maker with the grinder set at five. I do enjoy stronger coffee with a touch of pure sweet cream.

I use regular 12 cup coffee filters and push center over the basket so there's a hole and fill. Works great and cheap.

I usually do a table spoon and a half. The great thing about this coffee maker is that there is probably room for about 5 tablespoons of coffee if you liked it super strong!

John, I would say it depends on the coffee you use and how much you put in the basket. We like ours a bit stronger, we use Columbian coffee and I put 3 level scoops and maybe 1/3 to a 1/2 scoop. I do recommend using the Bunn coffee filters too. They are bigger so you don't have overflow of grounds in your coffee. You may just want to try out different amounts until you find what works for you.

It depends on how strong you like your coffee -- I like mine medium and use one tablespoon per 8 oz.; my husband likes his strong and uses 1 1/2 tablespoon per 8 oz.

I usually grind one upper chamber full plus half for an 8 cup French press. basically get the whole lower compartment full for the French press

One sachet makes one tasty big mug of coffee. I guess you could also get 2 small cups. Depends on how strong you like your coffee.

It depends on your definition of a cup. But for those of us who drink it in a standard 6 - 8 oz. coffee mug you could get away with using a ratio of 1 or 1.5 oz. of ground coffee to 12 or 16 fluid oz. of water, depending on how strong or weak you take it. Flip the switch on the side of the dispersal cone to the lowest flow setting to really saturate your grounds if you brew small batches of coffee.

I usually get about 6 to 8 table spoons of coffee, depending on how full I fill it with whole beans. Hope this answers the question, and it is a really good grinder.

I make a double shot cappuccino two or three times a day. I use approx. two tsps. per cappuccino, I also use 8.8 package of espresso. I would say approx. 43 per 8.8 package. I have a machine that uses capsules, cost too much for what I use. you save big time by using ground coffee.

I use 6 heaping TBSP (i like strong coffee) for 4 cups of coffee. Yes you should remove the grinds everyday so the basket and pot don't stain.

About 3 Drops I know I use 5 drops that is equivalent to 2 teaspoons of sugar for my Roma, which is a hot beverage that I drink instead of coffee.

I put in 320ml of water, 20g of coffee and get about 250ml (8oz) of brew out of it. That's about all you can get in there without making a mess.

Good question. It depends on how much coffee you put into the container. It used to be that 16 ounces was the norm for ground coffee, but as you know, "they" usually give you only 11 or 12 ounces in a bag any more. I would put 9 cups of water into the container if I had 16 ounces of ground coffee, but I only put in 7 cups of water with a 12 ounce bag. Also, the fineness of the grind is important too. If the grind is too fine (not recommended) then you would get less because it is harder for the water to drain through the filter. I would say with a 12 ounce bag of ground coffee and 7 cups of water, I get several cups of the concentrate. (maybe 4 to 6 cups-ish) It fills up about half of the carafe before the neck of the carafe is reached. Again, it will depend on the amount of ground coffee and the amount of water you use. Probably the best way to figure it out is to experiment with different brands and different grinds of coffee. If you grind your own beans, then you can play with that too. I would say that it is not an exact science. I let mine drain all day to get the most out of it. I hope this helps.

I have an "8-cup" Bodum French press. The equivalent amount of coffee to a full press is basically half a pot in the Melitta.
