Hello, How many pots of coffee will it make before having to fill grinder with beans again (assume med strength)

I top off the hopper every time before I brew a pot and rarely get low. I make full strength coffee and I can get two full pots and still have a few beans left in the hopper.

I have to fill the grinder daily. I have it set to grind 6 cups of coffee and add as much water as the reservoir will hold; this results in 4 - 6 cups of coffee. It takes the machine 40 minutes to brew 1/2 pot of coffee. (It makes a great humidifier as it steams most of the water away). Since buying this machine, we are purchasing twice as many beans and drinking half the coffee! If you are considering buying a Kraps coffee pot, don't waste your money!

I do not know, however I can tell you that the grinder holds a good amount of beans so I have never considered it a problem.

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.

If you fill the grinder all the way up, I would say probably 4 or 5. Great coffee maker. We have had ours for over a year and we just love it!

the strength of the coffee only depends on how much coffee you use. the weak or strong, depending on how much coffee, has turned out perfectly in this maker, no problem at all

I don't know the exact capacity. I use a rounded 1/2 cup measuring cup for a 10 cup pot of relatively strong coffee. It would probably hold 2/3 cup max. It's intended to grind enough for one pot to almost any strength.

As many cups as your Chemex will hold. Mine makes about 8 cups. It takes 3 to 4 'pours' to fill the pot. I compost my grounds and filters.

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'm not positive since I only grind my beans as I use them but I would guesstimate that it would hold about 7ozs. of grounds.

I get a good strong brew. I grind my own, coarser than normal drip filter, but normal filter grind will do. You need to use a lot of coffee; one of the supplied scoops per European sized cup, which means two for a mug. To make a whole pot you need eight level scoops. For half a pot you need four generous scoops. Once most of the water is in the top part with the coffee, give it a good stir to make sure it is well mixed. Let it bubble vigorously for a few minutes, longer will make it stronger but more bitter, and then remove it from the heat. Hope this helps, Rob

It depends on how strong you like your coffee. We make ours in a 12 cup coffee pot and I put 5 scoops of grounds in. It would take two grinding runs to produce that amount of coffee grounds, however its just a touch of a button and 30 seconds to do it so its relatively quick and pain free.

If I fill it up to the top of the coffee beans holder, the catching basket overflows. So your upper limit is controlled by the basket. If you grind a full basket I can use 2/3rd of the coffee to make my 4 cups Expresso machine. The other third is set aside for the next time.If you have a large Coffee pot you can just grind multiple times to achieve your desired amount.

Good question. I just made coffee (Mmmmmm) and could not fit 30 grams in at one time. The most I could fit in the grinding chamber at once was 24 grams. But it grinds very quickly so if you have the beans measured out you can easily grind 30 gms in two batches in less than 5 minutes.

All you have to do is keep the hopper filled and it only grinds the amount needed. If you select to brew 4 cups of coffee it will only grind 4 cups worth of beans.

You can choose 2,4,6,8, or 10 cups, add the water necessary for each, and it automatically grinds enough beans. Oh yes you can also choose three different strengths of brew, we like the strongest.

Mine just died this morning, but I roasted about 100 batches of beans (60 grams each) over the course of a year and a half. It did a great job. Not bad for the price. I'll try to buy another one, unless I talk myself into upgrading to a "real" coffee roaster.

It will hold enough to grind enough for 12 cups of coffee. I don't remember anymore then that.

1 single cup, if you're using something like an Aeropress. It isn't as good for grinding enough for a pot of coffee for several people. You probably want something electric or just larger for that.

I use a heaping 1/2 cup of coffee beans to make a 10 cup pot of coffee. I grind fresh beans each morning. It takes less than a minute. It's an on/off switch The sound of the grinder changes when the beans are ground so you can hear when to switch it off

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
