How many grams of coffee should you grind for one drip pot that has a line marked 12?

It depends on what "cup" measurement the brewer uses. Some are 4 ounces and some 6 ounces, but none are a standard 8 ounce cup. The ratio is 10-12 grams of coffee per 8 ounces or about 235 grams of water. Overflowing is a sign your grind is too fine.

16:1 by weight (water to coffee) but there isn't a drip machine on the market that can do it without overflowing. The cheapest way to get that ratio is to go with pour over, french press or don't make a full pot.

I use 26.2 grams for a 20 ounce pot. A very strong brew, but that's the way I like it.

The coffee should be very rich and full flavored. Use 2.2g per ounce of filtered water. The grind should be a bit finer than French press but slightly coarser than what would be used for drip

It's going to vary depending on the specific coffee. Different beans will grind up different. I would start with "6" just a guess.

Good question. It depends on how much coffee you put into the container. It used to be that 16 ounces was the norm for ground coffee, but as you know, "they" usually give you only 11 or 12 ounces in a bag any more. I would put 9 cups of water into the container if I had 16 ounces of ground coffee, but I only put in 7 cups of water with a 12 ounce bag. Also, the fineness of the grind is important too. If the grind is too fine (not recommended) then you would get less because it is harder for the water to drain through the filter. I would say with a 12 ounce bag of ground coffee and 7 cups of water, I get several cups of the concentrate. (maybe 4 to 6 cups-ish) It fills up about half of the carafe before the neck of the carafe is reached. Again, it will depend on the amount of ground coffee and the amount of water you use. Probably the best way to figure it out is to experiment with different brands and different grinds of coffee. If you grind your own beans, then you can play with that too. I would say that it is not an exact science. I let mine drain all day to get the most out of it. I hope this helps.

I use 40 grams of coffee and 20 ounces of water. If this is too strong for you, just reduce the coffee. I like my coffee with a dark roast.

You can get about 8 oz of coffee per pot. I wish they sold a larger unit, but the coffee is delicious.

For enough beans for a 12-cup pot of drip coffee, it only takes about 5 seconds at most. It is easy to increase the time on the timer while it is running in the event you see the beans are not going to be finished.

Percolator grind. Anything else we used left grinds in the coffee. So we finally started buying beans at the store and grinding it there on "percolator" settings, and voila--no more grinds in the coffee pot. Unless you make 12 cups. Then I'm not sure anything will keep grinds confined.

I'm not sure why it is so hard for folks with the coffee maker to answer questions correctly. From the manual from Cuisinart ( http://www.cuisinart.com/share/pdf/manuals/dgb-900bc.pdf ): "Grind Control Knob: Turn the Grind Control to choose the desired amount of coffee beans to grind." (ie you control for how many cups you are grinding(2,4,5,8,10,12) Not grind size(coarse,fine, etc). This makes sense as this is a DRIP coffee maker - so the size of grind should be fixed to the size suitable for drip coffee makers. Varying the grind size is used to address different ways of making coffee - so for espresso you grind much finer, and for french press you grind more course. This isn't a general purpose grinder - if you want a grinder to feed coffee to a variety of devices, buy that. This is a drip coffee maker. The grind size should be fixed for drip coffee.

Depends on the beans. With small beans, I can make up to 45 grams of coffee if i fill it to the top. This in enough for one french press pot of coffee or a full pot in a Chemex, which i think is about 4 cups. On average I get about 30-35 grams per fill and if i need more, I keep a vessel handy to store the grounds while I grind more.

I use a drip coffee maker and make a full 12 cup pot and fill the dispenser with that- I'm assuming the cup measurement on the coffee pot is for 6 oz. cups.

In 18 sec I grind enough for 24 oz of medium (2 symbols coarser than drip-symbol) dark-roasted coffee. No static dust; repeatable; just perfect!

Weigh and grind what you need completely, remove the empty bean holder, and use a brush to clean the burrs and chamber. Mainly an issue for finer grinds. For drip coffee, the finest of the coarse settings works, and tipping the grinder while it finishes grinding and giving it a slap empties the chamber. That won't work for finer grinds, and you'll need a brush. The brush provided is inadequate, so you'll have to buy one.

.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 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!

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 think the minimum is 6 cups of coffee which is the bottom line indented inside the pot. (That would make you 4 12 oz. mugs of coffee.) You can do a trial run with just water to see how much less will still be enough for the boiling water to perc up to the basket. You may also have to experiment with perc times and amount of coffee to get the strength you want. With less water you may not need to let it go for 10 minutes. I also found that a strong brand of coffee requires less brewing time. Good luck.
