Gourmet Coffee Beans

To determine the exact number of cups does take some measuring to pinpoint it. It is a learning process. I first put the cup setting to grind the projected amount in my burr coffee grinder then I measure the coffee grounds from the container to find the best setting. This also varies depending on the type of ground fine or coarse. A little less for  fine a grind because the grounds are more compact and and more for coarse.

In my Cusinart Burr Coffee Grinder, if I want to grind a different type of coffee, such as decaf for a single pot, I usually pull out my blade grinder since emptying out hopper and the blades is a major project.

To keep my beans fresh I usually only fill the bean hopper about half-way. The top does keep it sealed so I would not worry too much.
