Not everyone drinks coffee, but some people will drink three or four cups. I call them “the lifeguards of the caffeine pool.” Mix in a few tea drinkers, and your magic number stays solid at 3 to 4 gallons.
Also, consider your event length. A quick one-hour meeting? Stick to 3 gallons. A four-hour brunch? Go for 5 gallons and a few extra carafes. You’ll be the hero in the foam crown.

Pro Tip: Don’t Forget the Extras!
Coffee without cream and sugar is like a joke without a punchline. Stock up on half-and-half, milk, and a few flavored syrups. Your guests will feel like they’re at a fancy café, not a church basement.
And please—please—have a backup plan. A French press or a jar of instant coffee can save your bacon if the main pot mysteriously breaks. Always have a Plan B when caffeine is involved.
