For those who have it, how many tbsp of beans do you find the best ratio for making a full 12 cup pot?

I use 6 heaping sppon fulls. It really depends on how strong you like your coffee. You can always add more if desired. I hope this helps and Happy Java!

It all depends on the brand and grind of the coffee and how big the cup is you are using, but usually one heaping tablespoon per cup. The method I see the most is to put the coffee in your boiling water and let it brew for a minute or so, then pour the coffee threw the sock to filter out the grounds. Enjoy!

Most coffees will tell you to use a tablespoon per "cup," but they mean a 6 oz cup. I find a rounded tablespoon works per 8 oz cup, but more if I'm making a single cup. It also depends on the grind, because that determines the surface area and how compactly it fits in the measuring spoon or scoop. I also poor the water in a bit at a time, but then with a small cone one must.

I have the 12 cup model. I'd say it's always better to go with the largest model if you ever think you'd need it. You can always make less, say 4 cups in the 12 cup model. Just my $.02.

We routinely make two 12 oz cups, just adjust the grinds accordingly. We love our moccamaster, paired with the breville grinder and Weavers organic blend beans. Coffee bliss

Although I don't have the pot at my current location to check it for sure, I believe 36 ounces would be the total as they consider a "cup" to be 6 ozs. When I make two twelve ounce cups with the pour over method that brings the level exactly to the 4 cup level, which from memory is about the half way point, so you should be able to get at least 36 oz if not a little more with a full pot. I can verify for you early next week if you would like to know the exact capacity. It's a handy little carafe for making just a couple large mugs of coffee at a time, and versatile enough to use either the #4 Melitta or #2 Hario cones on top.

I make a small 2 mug pot at a time and put in 3 or 4 heaping teaspoons........it's really just to taste, and I like it strong. Just play with it and find the perfect balance for you. It also is, curiously, the only tea that I don't sweeten.......it is better to me without sweetener. I also brew it for about 15 minutes before drinking.

It depends on how big your mug is. I would recommend that you add the same fl oz to the coffee pot as you want for your mug and adjust the coffee strength to your liking. For a full put of coffee I use 4 heaping tablespoons and the coffee is fantastic. I have made 1/2 a pot using 2 heaping tablespoons and the coffee is great! I have also added a small piece of cinnamon stick (1 inch or so) to the coffee to give it a slight cinnamon taste. It is really good. You can also substitute the cinnamon with vanilla bean, just as good! Hope this helps.

Yes, I do a pot 12 cups, 12 would be the max. so it can handle 5 cups easy. I use mine everyday and love it.

For a full pot I would say no.The most I can use it for is 6 cups other wise the grounds go up and over the basket.

Good question. Hmm. I get approx 2 pots of coffee from a full bean storage container. I guess I should read how to adjust the grind maybe save some money. I usually make a pot and waste 1/2 of ur. Not to smart I guess

I like my coffee slightly on the weaker side, I don't typically make a whole pot, but I put six scoops to the pot filled to the 9 cup line. I get four good size coffee mugs full. I hope this helps, bc it is a difficult ques. to answer, it all depends on how strong you like your coffee and what size your pot is. :)

I brew 4 cups, which is enough for a couple mugs worth, and have made only 2 also. When I have company, I have made a full pot, but I can't be sure if you actually get 12 'servings' since I always use mugs. Sorry not more helpful. A few years ago I had the thermos which I didn't like as well as the glass container and hotplate , it would get cold quickly since I'd never put the cap on the thermos.

i dont fill it all the way, so i have had no issues with beans falling out. i have gone up to 8 spoonfuls of beans and still good.

No, you don't have to make a full pot for it to work well. It gets as hot for 4 cups as it does for 12.

It really depends on the size of your coffee pot. I use 2 tablespoons per 12 cup coffee pot. After pouring in the hot water and waiting 15 minutes, you will be amazed how clean and shiny your coffee pot is. The powder dip is the one that I would recommend as the liquid does not seem to clean as well. You will not be disappointed in this product. It is truly amazing! Good luck, Larry!

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.
