Introduction
Are you looking for the perfect cup of coffee? Mr. Coffee is your answer. In this article I will show you how to make the perfect cup of coffee using Mr. Coffee equipment and my favorite method for measuring out the right amount of coffee and water for a pot or single cup.
How to Make Coffee in a Mr. Coffee Maker
To make coffee in a Mr. Coffee machine, you’ll need:
- Water reservoir
- Filter basket with filter and grounds
- Coffee maker (with automatic shutoff)
How Much Water for 8 Cups of Coffee?
8 cups of coffee is about 2 quarts. Two quarts is 32 fluid ounces, and there are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon. That’s 8 cups!
If you have an electric kettle, then it’ll be easier for you to make this measurement because they generally come with markings on them that show the amount of water needed for each cup of coffee or tea made with the device.
If not, here’s how we can measure our own cups:
- Pour out some water into a measuring cup until it reaches 3/4th full (or halfway between the top and bottom). This will give us 16 ounces worth of liquid–the perfect amount needed for 12 cups Mr Coffee!
How Much Coffee for 12 Cups of Water?
The best way to find out how much coffee you should use is by measuring the water in your Mr. Coffee machine. For example, if your machine holds 12 cups and you’re using a ratio of 1 cup (8 ounces) of water per tablespoon of ground coffee, then you’ll need to use three tablespoons of ground coffee per 8 ounces of water.
If this sounds confusing and complicated, don’t worry! We’ve got a handy chart below that shows how much ground coffee should be used based on the size of your machine and its capacity for brewing cups:
Mr Coffee Perfect Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Review – A Quick Look Into The History of Mr. Coffee
Mr. Coffee was founded in 1972 by Peter Vincent, who wanted to make a better coffee maker. He started with a single model and grew from there, eventually becoming one of the most popular brands for home brewers.
In addition to its namesake brand of coffee makers and accessories, Jarden Consumer Solutions also owns other well-known brands like Oster and Crock-Pot (which are now part of their Sunbeam subsidiary). In fact, Mr Coffee was actually acquired by Jarden back in 2016!

Enjoy a cup of coffee using the correct amount of coffee and water!
You can enjoy a cup of coffee using the correct amount of coffee and water with Mr. Coffee’s measuring method. The first step is to use the Mr. Coffee Perfect Cup Programmable Coffeemaker to brew a perfect cup of coffee. Next, measure out 2 tablespoons (0.5 oz) for every 6 ounces (1 cup) water you will be using in your machine, or about 1 tablespoon per ounce of water if you are using an electric drip coffeemaker without an automatic shutoff feature like many other models such as this one by Cuisinart CM-50BKN12N Stainless Steel 12-Cup Thermal Programmable Coffee Maker with Brew Strength Selector & Digital Display ($72).
If you are making more than 12 cups at once or want stronger brews then adjust accordingly! You’ll want enough grounds so that they fully saturate while brewing but not too much so there isn’t any room left over after brewing either – especially since this could result in underbrewing which could lead toward bitter tasting beverages later on down the road when left sitting longer than usual (a few hours).
Conclusion
So there you have it, the correct amount of coffee and water to make 12 cups of coffee in a Mr Coffee Perfect cup coffeemaker. You can use this guide on any other brand or type of coffee maker as well!
