Follow the directions on the brand of coffee you buy. Usually 1/2 cup of coffee for 10 cups. Ex: 2 3/4 cups of coffee for 55 cups. 1 cup for 20 cups. 2 cups for 40 cups. Hope this helps.

1 scoop for every 2 cups. Then work from there.Good luck. Ron

First thing you should do is check the washer on the bottom of the pump stem.

Check to make sure the washer can move freely (it's not unusual for it to get gunked up. Try putting a flat-blade screwdriver under it and GENTLY prying upwards all around. Spray with a small amount of WD-40, and then run a few brew cycles with just water to get rid of the WD-40. In many cases, this will restore proper operation of the unit.

If not, there are a number of places online from which to purchase replacement parts for Farberware percolators. One is repairshack.com. If your percolators were made before 1998, you'll want the "old style" thermostat, part#P04-056:

If instead they were made after 1998, you'll need the new style, part#P04-303:

Rule#1: NEVER immerse the percolator in water--there are electrical components in the plastic base that will not react well to that kind of treatment.

The outside, cover, basket and stem can be cleaned with warm, soapy water. You can fill the pot with warm soapy water as well, although to remove mineral deposits and the like, it's recommended you periodically run a brew cycle (with stem and basket in place) using a solution of 50% vinegar and 50% water. To remove tougher stains, you might want to instead try dip-it coffeemaker cleaner.

Sorry some one has not responded sooner but I think this had to do with lack of a ready source.

Solution is here!

It takes 1 scoop of coffee for ever 2 cups of coffee, so 10 scoops of coffee is what you need. :)

Hope this helps!
Remember to Thumb me Up! :D

I have the same urn and had the same problem.

There are 3 common causes of lost perk that can be dealt with at home, and cause about 1/2 of the failures with these urns. They are very common when the pots are used rarely or carelessly cleaned after use, and when coffee is ground too fine for perc (drip grind is too fine for perc). As long as the pot is still heating, check these three things:
1) Clean the _inside_ of the hollow stem )that holds the basket and moves the water from the bottom of the pot to the top), to remove all grounds. You should be able to see clearly through it.
2) At the bottom of this stem there is a very small cup that has little holes in it and fits into the little well at the bottom of the pot. Make sure these are completely clear.
3) Scour out the little well so all residue/ grounds are removed and the little cup fits perfectly into the well.

It is the perfect fit of the two that allows the perc-ing cycle to occur.

If the pot is not heating, or these cleaning measures do not work, a local electric repair shop can probably do the repair for about 1/2 the cost of a new urn.

Hi. One pound of coffee for 55 cups, then adjust to taste.

Hi 2 scoops of coffee to 3 cups not mugs. Then take it from there, adjust to your liking. Ron
