making coffee for 50 people using an urn by: Andrea I am having a gathering of fifty or so people and had planned on getting a one hundred cup coffee urn. I make a good cup of coffee in a regular coffee maker using coffee beans that i grind myself. My question is, how many lbs of coffee would I need to make one hundred cups.
Our selection of coffee makers includes options that hook up to water lines for extremely fast brewing, as well as pourover models that offer portability and require no water line. We even carry styles that brew and dispense coffee in the same container. You can choose your commercial coffee maker based on the type of container it brews into.
Coffee urns come in several different sizes. Smaller urns meant for household use will brew about 30 cups of coffee at a time. Those designed for use at larger functions by caterers can make as many as 100 cups of coffee. If youre planning to serve coffee at an event, choose an urn large enough to brew at least 1 ½ cups of coffee per attendee.
