Approximately how many Tablespoons of coarse ground coffee do we add for a full 1 1/2 L pot of coffee? And how many for a full 1 1/2 L pot of overnight Cold Brew? I know it's to taste, but it would be really helpful & appreciated to have a jumping off point. Thanks.

I used to use 4 heaping tbl spoons for my coffee. I live in Costa Rica and the grind is a lot finer than in the US. This was a great french press. My glass part finally broke.

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.

It depends on how strong you like your coffee. For 8 oz I would suggest two heaping tablespoons. You can adjust it up or down the next time.

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.

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.

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

It's hard to say, based on how strong you like your coffee. I make 2 full cups usually, but it seems like you could get more.

The directions were on a paper inside of the percolator. If you didn't have one inside, you might be able to find directions by doing a search online. This is an old method of brewing coffee, so there should be a lot of information. I misplaced my insert, so I can't reproduce it here. Do not fill the percolator above the line (outside.) Do not use a filter--spoon the coffee directly into the basket. Amount of coffee is approximately one spoonful to one cup of coffee. How you measure this would be an individual thing.

i use approximately 1/2 pound of good, medium roast ground coffee for 36 cups in my model l1200.(my user guide suggests 3 1/2 cups coffee for medium brew); amounts can be varied to suit personal taste and particular coffee strengths/blends.

I bought a cheap coffee pot and brew it in that. I make two and one half 12 cup pots using one of the bags. It is strong enough for us like this. However, I do put the last half pot (6 cups) through twice to get a stronger brew. I make it all at once. It is best over ice when totally cooled. I am very happy with the product. Buris Anne

I have had my toddy Cold Brew Coffee Maker for a couple of months. It is the smoothest coffee I have ever had!!! The filters last a fairly long time. I am still using the first. You just need to put them in a small baggie and freeze them until you need to use them again. Also, it is hard to say how many cups you get from one brewing because for example I use 1/3 cup of brewed coffee with hot water sometimes and other times I use 1/2 cup of brewed coffee with hot water. So, it is kind of hard to tell how many cups of coffee you get from a brewing!! I would recommend trying this product!! Exceptional coffee.

Minimum 1 drop, just pour enough water so the grounds can absorb and then release 1 drop of coffee. Maximum infinite, just keep pouring. Adjust grounds as necessary to get the flavor profile you want. For me ~14g ground is good for 8-12 oz coffee, I tried to get 16-24oz with that and lacked boldness.

That's about all I have every day, but one large "cup". It's actually a travel mug purchased from one of the well known book stores with a cafe. Usually my husband brews enough coffee to reach to the 2-4 mark on the side of the machine. There's a see-through area with a gauge, or level markings, so you can tell how much coffee has brewed so far (for lack of a better term). My husband will usually have a small cup at home too. Not sure if it will make only one 8oz cup only, at least a cup that tastes good, but maybe. One cup correctly measured however, is just that, one cup. Which is not enough coffee for my one cup a day!

depends on how many cups you make, i make enough for 2 cups and it lasts about 7 to 8 times, a full pot would prob be 3 to 4. hope that helps, i love the coffee though, great machine.

I always brew a full pot and dump what I don't drink (about half a pot) you use the same amount of coffee for a half a pot as full a pot, so why not. The grab a cup during the brew works just be quick or it will overflow the filter basket. Otherwise it is one of the best coffee pots I have owned.

Absolutely. Just use less water and less ground coffee. Their "cup" is 6 ounces and for 2 cups they suggest 1.5 tablespoons of ground coffee. So 8 ounces of water and one tablespoon of ground coffee is just about right for a "real" size cup. You can also just put water through it without the ground coffee and pour the hot water into a cup with instant coffee. Don't put any instant coffee anywhere in the machine. - charles

I find a full load of properly ground sized coffee of Espresso roast makes a comparable product to a restaurant Espresso for 2 oz. of Espresso. I grind my beans right before using and with the one pass type of grinder (can't think of the name at the moment). Taking any more liquid through to extract more Espresso will weaken the outcome; you can clearly see when the color changes.

Hi Susan. I haven't yet brewed a full pot! I only make around 5 or 6 cups at a time and that takes about 5 minutes. I'm happy to brew a full pot over the weekend and give you an accurate answer if you wanna wait for me...
