When they say 32 cups, what size cup do they mean? And, can you just use ice water to mix with it - do you need to use milk? (I like black coffee)

By 32 cups i believe it means roughly 6-8 ounces (each shot of coffee is one of those little compartments you see at the top=32 servings of those in the entire container) depending how strong you want the coffee to be. You can also use just water if you don't want milk. I haven't tried that, but I imagine it would be good!

The serving size recommended on the Cool Brew package is 1 oz. Remember, this is a concentrate. From there you can mix it to whatever dilution you prefer. I mix mine fairly week by adding 12 oz of almond milk. The package instructions recommend mixing with 9 oz of milk or water then sweeten to taste.

You may find 3 cup to be good size in the morning or if you drink once or twice a day, also it is perfect for 2 people. 2 cup is the best for one person, smaller one makes better coffee and if you drink every few hours 2 cup is the best to get that coffee feeling without to much coffee for whole day. I think 1 cup is 60 ml (maybe too small), 3 cups are 200 ml (maybe too big for one person). Please send email to Bialetti asking them to start making 2 cup size moka expres again :)

I used cold, since I like iced coffee and cooler coffee. I would think both would work well, just depends on the temperature you like your coffee.

I drink my coffee black, so it is hot enough for me. If you add cold milk or cream, you might want to zap it for a few seconds in the microwave.

One pound of coffee makes makes 2 quarts of coffee concentrate. I run it through filled full once and I do it again with only half of the water using the same coffe. If you are making hot coffee, you would use approximately 1 oz of concentrate in your cup and add tap water before heating in the microwave. That would be 64 cups of coffee in one pound of concentrate. When making cold coffee I use a 2 oz.. measure of concentrate over ice in a large plastic insulated cup with a lid (the kind you get at the store that come in pretty colors), I then add about 2 tablespoons of flavoring that I buy at Bed Bath and Beyond and top that all off with skim milk. All of this depends on how strong you like your coffe and flavorings? In my opinion it is better then the ones you get at the fancy coffee places! You just need to play with the measurements a little. Hope this helps.

Or don't add ice at all. I do it both ways. Just blend the ingredients without the ice and pour the mix into your cup, then add ice.

If a cup is 8 ozs, then 12 cups would be 96 ozs! If the carafe holds 96 ozs of water, then you would have 12 cups! I have never measured this! When the coffee is gone, I make more! The mugs I use are larger than 8 ozs, so I don't really know how many actual 'cups' my mug holds? I may never know, because I'm not going to measure it! I have other more fun things to do!!!

The cappuccino will make 240ml, latte & mocha 220ml (as suggestion). For me I used less water. You can try to use a cooking measure cup to measure the amount of water for your existing cup. If you plan to buy a new one, any cup about the size of the mug (the anniversary mug being sold to tourist) is ok.Hope to have answered your question.

Tom is right (and you set the water volume for these buttons yourself by holding them). I always use a double shot! You can also alter both the grind size and strength on the bean grinder. You can't make the water temperature any different as it's pre set BUT you can use the steam nozzle to make your drink hotter i guess.. it's always been the perfect temperature for black coffee but I would always use hot milk otherwise the drink isn't hot enough.

Melanie, there are three settings for large, medium and small cups. You use 1 pod for whatever size cup you prefer. If you want a 10 oz cup and which I believe is the large, then try 1 pod each at medium button or just 1 pod at large if you prefer it a little weaker. We did purchase the extra pod where you can use your own coffee, but do not use it much. You will also find that some pod brands are stronger than others, i.e., Starbucks. We really like our Keurig.

Not sure the number of cups but cheaper than Starbucks. I use exclusively for iced coffee, and use cold water only. Never drink it black but don't see why you can't,

Not sure, I used in recipes. If you are using instant try putting the dry milk in the cup with coffee granules and then add boiling water. If using perked or drip etc. try using a small whisk when add to coffee. Just some ideas....good luck :o)

Hello Kevin: we are doing 27g of beans and then grind, fill to the 400 ml level and we feel we are making a really fine cup of coffee. We worked to this point mathematically then tweaked to taste. To get to the 500 ml, do the math and then tweak to taste and I think you'll be fine. 27 divided by 4 is 6.75 so add another 6 and three quarter gs. of beans and fill to the 500 mark, should be great! but play with it to taste

I would like an answer too! Is the dark cup or light cup weak or strong? The dark cups has smaller dots which to me say weaker, but then again, maybe darker is stronger? The manual does not indicate which is which. It just says to dial your strength! Anyone out there that knows this answer???? Otherwise, the machine makes great coffee!!!

I use cups that hold 1 cup of fluid up to big cups for iced coffee that are 32oz. Hope that helps.

use more coffee. We love it and have had no problems. Make sure you are folding the coffee filters edges like you are suppose to. We use Starbucks coffee and ratio is 4 scoops of coffee/8 cups of water. Coffee remains hot for a very long time in the coffee pot.

My personal favorite is a large cup (I like to reuse my Venti size cup from Starbucks) fill it with ice, 1-2 Tbsp of powder (depending on your taste preference), fill with water, stir/shake. Simple and delicious! It's also great with warm milk!
