How Much Coffee Does a Pound of Coffee Make?

This is a very interesting question to consider, especially if you are in the market for purchasing freshly roasted pounds of coffee. It is important to purchase the exact amount of coffee that you are going to use because if you buy too much, then it will go stale within two weeks.

As a basic rule of thumb, it's ideal to use 3 tablespoons of coffee grounds per 8 ounces of water. If you are brewing a full 40 ounce pot of coffee, then a pound of coffee beans can brew up to 30 pots. This is calculated to yield seven 6 ounce cups for every 40 ounces that are brewed.

Again, it is important to take into consideration that you will not always brew a full pot when you brew coffee because most of it will go to waste. For the freshest cup of Joe possible, brew only what you are going to drink so that the coffee does not sit on the warmer and become burnt or bitter.
