    Look to see if there is a measuring line in the grinder. Mine has one and that is how I figure it out. Otherwise I would have no clue how much to put in.

    A good starting point is 1/2 cup coffee for 10 six oz cups of coffee. This is the recommendation on most coffee cans or bricks you buy in the store. You can then adjust the amount by adding a little more or a little less next time you brew depending if you want your coffee a little stronger or weaker. Everyone has slightly different tastes.

    Happy brewing.
