As a general guide use 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of ground coffee for every 8 ounce cup of fresh brewed coffee. If using a large drip urn, about a 1 lb package of fine grind coffee and fill container to the 40 cup level with fresh clean cold water.

That's a difficult question for a few reasons. First off, I like coffee quite strong, not everybody does. Secondly almost every coffee carafe has different 'cup' measures. My current one tells me a 'cup' is about 140 grams or 5 ounces. In my opinion a 'cup' is 226 grams or about 8 ounces. That said, I put in 1 tbsp (about 15 grams ) of coffee for each of MY cups. The scoop that comes with most large cans of coffee is about 1tbsp. I would suggest starting on the low side and building up to where you like the taste

When my mom made the coffee in the large urns for church functions she had a ratio of one cup of grounds to 20 cups of coffee (based on a "cup" of coffee being 6 fluid ounces).
