it is usually 1 tbs for 2 cups for water so about 5 or 6 should do just fine.

my husband is an expert coffee maker, at least i think so. he adds a level measuring cup of coffee for each 3 cups of water. (the measuring cup is the one that comes with the coffee.) so, 3 and a touch more should do it.

10 cups of coffee = 10 tbsp (1 tbsp/cup is the standard printed on coffee cans and recommended by most companies; real coffee lovers often use 2 tbsp/cup) = 5/8 cup of coffee grounds.
Keep in mind that a coffee maker cup is 6 oz, so it promises to make 60 oz of coffee.

For the best flavor, use 2 tablespoons of grounds (heaping) for every cup (8 oz.) that you make. So if you’re using a 10 cup and making 10 cups, use 20 tbsp. (It sounds like a lot, but it’s perfect if you’re using great coffee)

Most people actually make their coffee way too weak! There is no set amount to use, but the standard is 2 level Tablespoons for every cup. Try it that way and adjust by a tablespoon up or down according to your own taste. It will also be affected by the type of coffee you are using.
