Water Level*	Amount of Ground Coffee*
40 cups	2–21⁄2cups
30 cups	13⁄4–2 cups
20 cups	1–13⁄4cups
10 cups	1⁄2 cup

*Always keep water and coffee amounts between the minimum and maximum for your urn size.

NOTE: We recommend using coffee that has been ground specifically for use in a percolator- type coffeemaker. However, coffee marked “For All Coffeemakers” is acceptable. If using a coffee grinder and whole beans, percolator coffee should be a coarse grind. Finely ground coffee may cause the basket to overflow and result in grounds in the coffee.
