Thanks Del. Most interesting. What I still don't get is they call for one scoop of coffee per cup. The "basket" of most 12 cup auto coffee makers can't hold that much. If they can, it easily overflows the filter and you get a heap of grounds in the pot. I been using one scoop for every 2 cups and it's plenty strong enough. For 10 cups, I use 4 scoops of a good decaf and one scoop of chicory coffee from Cafe du Monde. Now, if I should decide to make 12 cups, I'll use the extra scoop, but it will overflow the filter. So, what's the solution?
