According to West Bend...55 cups = 3 ½ cups ground coffee, add more if you prefer stronger coffee.

This is so subjective.... NYC vs The midwest, the answer will be different. If you look closely at the coffee basket there will be an indicator that will show where the ground should be leveled to. When I made coffee in NJ we used this style and sized pot for all meetings and the "rule of thumb" was 3/4 lb for 55 cups (this was not strong enough for me. Try it at that level and adjust. If it is terribly week you can drain a pitcher of coffee then add another cup of new grounds to the basket and pour over the grounds. Good luck
SOURCE: How much coffee would it take to make the 55 cups
Your model sounds like the West Bend 59055 - Large Coffee Urn, 60 Cup.
The User Manual for your coffer urn can be found here:
http://www.westbend.com/supportdata/L5613B_LargeCapacityUrns-All.pdf
Instruction for making coffee can be found on page 5. For 55 cups is would take 3 1/4 cups of coffee.
Use an electric perc or regular grind coffee; if you grind your own this should be a medium to coarse grind.
Do not use 'drip' or finely ground coffee as this could plug the drain holes in the basket and cause the urn to flood.
