From the manual of a similar 42-cup urn, here are the measurements of ground coffee you will need to brew 42 servings and other amounts of coffee. (NOTE: You may know this, but cups are not cups! When measuring the ground coffee, use standard kitchen measuring cups, which are eight ounces by volume. However, when thinking of the "cups" you will drink, know that the coffee urn is probably calibrated at five ounces per serving -- also called "cups" but not the same thing.) Here are the measurements: --To make 42 cups, use 2 cups ground coffee --To make 36 cups, use 2 cups ground coffee --To make 30 cups, use 1 cups ground coffee --To make 28 cups, use 1 2/3 cups ground coffee --To make 24 cups, use 1 cups ground coffee --To make 22 cups, use 1 cups ground coffee --To make 18 cups, use 1 cups ground coffee --To make 12 cups, use 1 cups ground coffee

3 tablespoons. I just want to add, this works excellent. I just did it again after months, and it didn't even need it yet, and we go through a lot of coffee. I am really impressed with this product.

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 have the 4 cup model, which is supposed to make 6 ounces. Some water stays in the bottom, so about 4.5 to 5 ounces of coffee is brewed. I heat about one ounce of water in a mug in the microwave while the pot is brewing, then pour the coffee into the hot water to dilute it.

When making drip coffee you ge the best results by grinding for the smallest drip size (not espresso). The recommended amount is 2 table spoons for every 6 oz of coffee. Some like a little more and some like a little less. Most mugs are between 10 and 16 oz size. The key to proper drip coffee is to pour in enough water to wet the coffee grounds and let it stand for 30 seconds. Then pour in the rest of the water.Also the degree of roast makes a difference. You will get a stronger cup of coffee with French or Italian roast. Most coffee for the American market is a light to moderate roast because Americans are used to weak tasting coffee.

Depends on your coffee strength and how much water you use. I use one heaping tablespoon per 8 oz. The more the better!

With a medium/slightly dark roast coffee I was using around 5 tablespoons ground coffee for a full pot. That said I like my coffee a little bit stout and my wife doesn't so that's where We found it to be a good compromise.

According to equivalents on the Internet, one ounce equals two tablespoons. I use 8 rounded scoops for a full pot, that is up to the top of the bodum emblem. I measured one rounded scoop of coffee and put it into a two-tablespoon measure, and it fit perfectly. So, one rounded scoop should be equal to one ounce of ground coffee. Therefore, we use about 8 ounces of coffee grounds to make our pot. If you put 16 exact tablespoons (not rounded) of coffee in the pot, you will have the strength of coffee my husband and I drink. If you measure in ounces, try 8 ounces. I don't think our coffee is strong as strong as that served at Starbucks or McDonalds, but it's not weak. I hope this was helpful.

We fill our drip coffee maker to just over the 10-cup mark and make one pot every morning. One can lasts about a week and a half give or take a day or two. We have a standing order for a four-pack of the coffee every month and generally come out about even. How many you get will depend on how much coffee you use for each pot; I add 4 heaping coffee scoops full for each 10 cups.

there is a chart in the owner's manual for the amount you put in to the amount you get out. Your old coffee maker must have had more power but I'd use the chart in the manual. I'd say about 3/4 in a tablespoon to the amount you put in "cups" of water so 7 tblspns for 10 cups but you will not get 10 cups brewed coffee.

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 like a stronger cup coffee so I use six tablespoon of coffee to four cups of water in a French Press.

You know, I'm not too sure. It is the same size as a standard household coffee pot. I assume each cup is around 6 ounces. I bought mine to use at work, and I'm not at work today so I can't check. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I fill the top part full and that's enough for 5 cups. The holder is a little over half full so it probably would hold 9-10. That's a rounded tablespoon per cup of coffee.

Yes, the carafe is 42 ounces capacity but When I brewed coffee with it I always ended up with only 35 ounces in the carafe after filling the tank to 42 ounces. If I wanted a bit more I had to add some more water to the tank and press brew again and then stop it when the carafe was full.

I have a slightly different model so probably of no help to you. Mine makes 36 cups max. I use a measuring tablespoon for each cup and it is quite strong.

I just called West Bend and they define 1 CUP of coffee as 5oz which means that it holds 210 oz.
