All depends on how you like your coffee, And the size of cups you are using.

The standard is: 64oz. of water and 2oz to 3oz of coffee for 12 cups, That is about 5 to 6oz.of coffee per cup.
If you want a strong cup of coffee use 1.5 gal. of water and 9oz of coffee for 36 cups. If NOT use more water and less coffee.

REMEMBER, Don't let the coffee sit in your coffee brewer for long time.

It is no a cosmetic part and is there for a reason.

depends on how many cups of coffee you want. if you want 22 cups, suggest 1 1/2 cup of coffee.
