How many grams of ground coffee fit in the receptacle? I hear 50 grams is needed per cup for a 34 oz french press, so I was just wondering.

I've done an approximate measurement, and if you go a little bit higher than the "1 cup" mark, it comes out to about 20g (not packed down, but loose). It's misleading because the manual says "10-12g is normally good for one serving", implying that the "1 cup" mark equals 10g, but they don't define how much "one serving" is.

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.

Just to clarify, you would want to use 50-53 grams for the whole 34 oz french press and not per cup.

I don't know how many grams, but I do know that it will grind enough for two cups of coffee.

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.

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

I don't have a French press but one small hand full of coffee beans is enough for a Keurig K-cup and it takes two of those for my aeropress for one cup of coffee. The grinder can handle up to two K-cups full. When it comes to the presses, it's as strong or as weak as you want to make it.

About 95 cm3 / grams, (so I think 3 ounces), one full espresso cup, if you fill it to just below the relief valve on the body. But in practice you will get about two thirds of that as coffee in the cup.

The rule of thumb that we use is a level 1/4 cup of ground coffee for every 5 cups of water, so if I was making a full pot of coffee (42) in this urn I would use 2 cups plus a bit more. We find that 2 1/2 cups of coffee would make it a really strong.

You can always measure what you put in the filter for brewing. I use 1/8 cup coffee for every 2cups (as marked on the carafe) of water.

I'm using an all purpose grind (Starb_cks C_f_ V_r_na), 6 coffee measures (old C-F-Nuts measure) for an 8 cup pot. Using M-L_tt_ #4 paper filters, and coffee is very good. Found that some St_rb_ks stores grind coffee coarser than others, even when you specify conical filter. Like the pot; makes cosistently good brew.

Try using a most coarse grind and more coffee. i use 70 grams per pot, which is almost 9 grams per cup.

Hello BSJAAJK - it's really subjective ie... Size /volume of cup, beans used , grind, etc... Ex: I use 28g ground with a ceramic burr grinder to slightly coarser then sand and that yields aprox. 11 oz of coffee which fills my insulated travel mug. So experiment and see what suits you. Do yourself a favor a buy the Hario V60 Buono kettle and download the Intelligentsia Coffee brewing app too! Good Luck!

The description says 8 cups but 6 cups (48 ounces) is more accurate. If you try to top it off, you will end up with some grounds in your coffee. That being said - absolutely love this french press - still using it every day with no problems.

.375 cups, I use 3/4 of a cup of beans for a pot of coffee, but I need to fill the holder twice. Also so there is no spillage I use a pyrex measuring cup.

I use a French press to make coffee. With the press I use 3 heaping tablespoons for (8) cups, so 4 heaping for (10) cups is about right. One can every 10 days is about right.

I've asked the same question!! What I have found is the screens on the 34oz will also fit the 50oz and are available on a site "ExpressoZone.com"--or "Beso.com/french-press-coffee-parts. After 8 months of dailey use I still have not changed my screen--doesn't need it.

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.

The 8 cup measure is a little confusing, it actually produces 34 ounces of coffee, which to my taste is equal to 2 of the scoops. You can make half that amount with one scoop. You could make almost any amount if you experiment with the coffee water ratio.

The ground container usable part measures approx. 3.5 x 3.0 x 2.5 which holds approx. about 11 to 12 oz of ground coffee. I leave a 1 oz stainless steel measuring scoop in the container. The top container will take approx. a 1/4 lb of coffee beans. I have not tried it, but I think it will fill the ground container without putting more beans in.

I use a medium grind. I prefer Peet's coffee and buy it from the grocery already ground and that consistency always works well. I prefer a strong cup of coffee so I add a bit more than I do when brewing for guests.

Hmm, I just measured my replacement press, from bon Jour. I used it to replace the original Boden press carafe which did not survive gravity...;-) This carafe measures 3 3/4 on he inside and is just short of 7" tall... it holds 4 cups only, not five, according to my measure... hope this helps. In other words, it will hold 32 ounces... I have no idea how the industry measures a cup of coffee...some use a 6 ounce as the ideal cup measure, go figure...

32oz should be fine, you would need to experiment with the amount of grounds you need though. 14g makes me 8-12oz, but 21g makes me 16-24oz.Most important think when you're using the V60 is pouring technique. For 32 oz of coffee you will need to consistently "knock down" the high grounds to reintroduce them to the brew.
