From what I heard it’s depending on what your brewer is calibrated to. Some brewers are calibrated to being 3 scoops and others are calibrated to being 4.

This is what i know from a tech that came into our store and let us know our brewer is calibrated to 3. He asked if we wanted to change it to 4 but i told him no just cause I wasn’t sure what my manager would like to have for the store.

Easiest way to find out is to brew a full batch of water into the urns. If the water goes all the way up the sight glass or overflows the urn, you’re a 4-scoop store. If the water only goes up about 3/4 of the way, you’re a 3-scoop store.

The techs who come out to service the machines are supposed to put little stickers on the brewers next to the batch buttons. They look like little coffee scoops, and show how much scoops each batch should be.

Honestly, just put in a ticket for the brewer and say it’s not calibrated correctly (because they never are). And when they come out, ask them to put the stickers on the brewer so everyone knows.

Also, teach everyone in your store to use the cube lids to level off the scoops every time. That way every batch of coffee is indistinguishable from the last. Heaping scoops = really dark and bitter coffee (and you’re more likely to get grounds in the coffee).

full batch is 4 cause half is 2

Another thing that might be happening is that they don’t level their scoops of beans so 3 heaping scoops might be more equal to 4 leveled scoops. If you put too many grounds in to brew, it could overflow the filter and you get grounds in the brewed coffee. Seems kinda weird bc I doubt that EVERYONE at that store wouldn’t level their scoops but I’ve seen weirder store specific standards.

it also depends on what type of brewer you have. at both of the licensed stores i worked at, we had a smaller system so full was 3 and half was 2, and we didn't even have the capacity for quarter batches.

How many scoops go in 5 gallons of coffee if you are in the southern hemisphere and you are brewing upside down 🤔

4

4

3

Well when I was retrained this may they said 4 for a full batch 2 for a half and 1 for a quarter so I’m guessing it is 4? Unless we’re doing it wrong at my store

We do 4 scoops.

4. Every store has moved to the 4 scoop on the bunn brewers. Ask your technician the next time they’re out but Fall 2 years ago every brewer got calibrated to the 4 scoop system

It's one scoop for each quarter so 4 total for a full batch.

If 2 is half, then a full batch is ___? Come on people.

3

It used to be 4 and then it got changed to 3 a couple of years ago (2019?).

I've always been told to do 2..
