How Much Coffee for 50 People?
75cups of coffee
1.5 8-oz cups per person for a morning or dessert crowd

| What | Amount |
|---|---|
| Gallons to brew (16 cups each) | 4.7 |
| Ground coffee (≈45 cups/lb) | 1.7 lbs |
| Half & half (1 pint per ~30 cups) | 3 pints |
Plan 1.5 cups per person for a morning event or dessert course. A gallon of brewed coffee pours 16 8-oz cups, and a pound of ground coffee brews about 45 cups.
About 25–30% of coffee drinkers will ask for decaf — brew a small second urn rather than fielding the question all night.
Adjusting for your crowd: kids eat about two-thirds of adult portions; knock 25% off any single item when several mains share the table; add 25% for teenagers and big appetites. When in doubt, round up on the cheap items (buns, chips, ice) and stay exact on the expensive ones.
