Quick answerFor a crowd, brew about 60-70 g of medium-ground coffee per liter of water (roughly 1:16) in a large drip brewer or coffee urn, and hold it in thermal carafes rather than on a hot plate. Plan about 1.5 cups per guest. For 20 guests, brew around 7 liters with 450 g of coffee.
Methods
- Coffee urn: best for 30+ people
