You should use about one tablespoon per cup that you intend to get out of the percolator. Usually the number of cups will be marked on the side of the jug. Don't forget to use filtered, cold water.

A good rule of thumb is to begin by using one level tablespoon of ground coffee, which is about one-eight cup, per six ounces of water. I find that many coffee cups and especially mugs hold more than six ounces so one heaping tablespoon is a good amount to start. Decide by tasting how that appeals to you and then adjust the amount of ground coffee for the next brewing to suit your taste.

In spite of its convenience, my personal opinion is that a percolator is the worse way to prepare coffee.

Read the instructions! It depends on the coffee brand and the coffee maker. First, read the coffee maker instructions, then read the instructions on the coffee brand

How much coffee for a 30 cup automatic percolator?

For a 30-cup percolator it is necessary to measure out 1/4 cup of ground coffee for every 10 cups of coffee to be made. Therefore, a 30-cup percolator will require 3/4 cup of ground coffee. If coffee is to be a little stronger than normal, add another tablespoon of ground coffee to the percolator basket.


How can I find out how much coffee is needed to make coffee in an electric percolator?

Try how much you think does in then if its too strong put less in, if its too weak put more in. Then you should find out. You could do the hit and miss method however you need to know how much water your percolator holds. It should be marked on the inside. Use 1 1/2 tablespoons of medium/course ground coffee for every 6 ounce cup of water. Most percolators have a clear bubble top and you can see the color of the coffee being brewed. If you prefer milder coffee you can always stop the percolation process as you please by unplugging the appliance.

Have you ruined your 30 cup coffee maker by plugging it in without water in it?

The only way you can do that is with a percolator, which is nearly the worst thing you can possibly do to a pot of coffee. Get a real coffee maker, or better yet, a coffee press.


How does a percolator produce coffee?

It doesn't, coffee is grown. The way a percolator works is by the change in the density of water when it is heated. Water is placed in the percolator then the riser tube is placed in and the filter cup with ground coffee in it is placed on the top of the tube, ABOVE the top surface of the water. The water is heated at the bottom of the pot, this hot water rises and is directed up the tube, cold water replaces it at the bottom of the pot, this cold water as the density is much higher forces the hot water up the tube where it overflows into the filter basket and percolates back down through the coffee grounds, then back to the pot to be cycled through again. The percolation slows down as the temperatures in the pot equalize, or the water level is lowered.


How much coffee for 30 cups?

That really depends on how strong you like your coffee. I think most containers call for one tablespoon of coffee per cup. I don't particularly like mine that strong, so I use about 10 tablespoons for a 12-cup pot. If you were making a 30-cup pot of coffee, I would use anywhere from 24-30 tablespoons of coffee (about 1 1/2 cups) depending on your preference. For strong coffee, you can use the ratio of 1 spoon of ground coffee to every cup. But for a big 30-cup pot, you can reduce the measurement to 25 spoons of ground coffee. You will need 30 cups of cold fresh water. 15 tablespoons of fresh ground coffee. Make sure the pot is spotlessly clean.
