how much coffee or tea is needed for one pot?

The press holds 20 ounces of water. It is recommended to use 2 tablespoons per 6 oz of water. I put in 6 teaspoons, or coffee measures if you have one of those. I have found that places such as Starbucks do not grind the coffee course enough on their "French Press" setting. Ask them to make it two notches courser. Of course, you actual mileage will vary.

I usually use 4 tablespoons of coffee to 16 oz of water. When using the full 34 oz on my Bodum French Press, I'll use 6 tablespoons. Just for your information, this particular French Press malfunctioned within two weeks of use. Unacceptable. I then purchased the Bodum French Press because of the quality and also because of the spare parts that are available on Amazon. I hope this helps with your question. Enjoy

Depending on the brew strength of the coffee and tea, this tea will have about half the amount of caffeine as an 8 oz. cup of coffee. It all varies with steep time, how lightly coffee is roasted, etc.

I would say 4 cups which would be half the water allowed would be the least amount you could make at one process My assumption only, the directions does not note how little you can make at one processing. I always make the full 8 cups, It is better brewed coffee too!

I would suggest no less than one cup; check the company website.I have 2 of these cookers, great products.

You will get two reasonable cups of tea from this pot. So good for sharing and I normally make half a pot for one person and still this is generous.

You are correct about 12 cups not being 12 measuring cups. Remember that an average sized mug holds about 2 cups of the brewed coffee and an old-fashioned 'teacup' may hold 6 oz. If you remember these measures, you will always be able to estimate how much coffee to make. Stove perked coffee is really good! Hope you enjoy the process and the coffee.

I gave this as a gift, but as the name suggests: Single usually means for one cup. However, if you prefer a more dilute tea, you might be able to get a couple of cups out of one brew.

You can get 8oz at one time. The instructions for both the coffee and the tea options will tell you to fill a 16oz cup with ice and use 8oz of water in the machine (and the machine will only take the 8oz of water in at a time.

The pot holds 16 ounces, which is enough to brew 12 ounces of coffee. The other 4 ounces get left in the grounds.

The tea pot can fill 5-6 cups of tea. I was not filling the cup to the top. I really love this set.

I say just buy the set a second time. At least then you have an extra teapot and therefore extra tea for those extra cups. The tea set is enough to fill each cup once, or one cup four times. Instead of making a pot of tea twice for that, just make two at once.

I just filled my tea pot where I feel it would be safe and not too full. Measured it out and it was 700mls. A 8oz cup is 240mls so 2cups is 480mls and so on. At least 3 8oz cups would work.

Definitely, I usually brew just one cup for my husband each morning. Takes less than 5 minutes. This is definitely worth the money, the cups alone would cost nearly what the pot costs.

Most people use a heaping tablespoon of ground coffee to 6-8 ounces of water. This seems to be the right proportion and makes a "reasonably strong" cup of coffee. If you want stronger add a standard teaspoon to the mix.

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.

Four cups is the amount listed in the manual which is really around 2 mugs of coffee. I do this almost every morning.

I've found that most manufacturers think that a cup is approximately 6 oz. My PSB tea pot gives me about 3 mugs of tea. Hope this helps.
