The rule of thumb is 2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounce "cup" of coffee. You should need 60 tablespoons or 3.75 cups of coffee for an entire pot.
Folgers recommends 1 teaspoon of Coffee for 1 cup. It is good coffee, that's what I use. If you like it stronger, use just a little more.
I've made countless 30-cup pots of coffee for church events and have always used 1 cup of coffee for each full pot....and never had any complaints. In fact, even got some complements!
Thanks for your comment, I think one cup of coffee grounds for your countless church gatherings sounds about right. I followed another person's advice and used a pound of coffee for the 30 cup urn and it was way, way, way too strong!!!
For a 30C machine, always used 1-3/4 to 2 C coffee. Where I volunteer, we have two machines: we make 1 at 1-3/4C coffee, the other at the 2C coffee level. Gives people a choice, and we've never had a complaint or criticism, save for "You're out of coffee!" Most important: use the coldest water available. We have a couple filtered water pitchers we keep in the refrigerator specifically for the coffee making process. Refrigerator holds about 43 degrees.
2 1/2 cups
