How do we say a batch of coffee in French? "Lot" and "cuvée" won't do, I'm not having any ideas.
Thanks for the help!

Selected
demie-quantité de café
I don't know if one can really express it like tis in FR, but I've heard something like this used in other, not dissimilar contexts — as in making a smaller quantity of a recipe originally intended for more people.

Thanks to Gilles for pointing out my grammatical error — tsk, tsk!
demi- shouldn't agree when it's an adverb; I've got it now!

Merci, Gilles ! I hesitated over that, and did try to research it, but there are enough errors out there on the 'Net, for me to go and pick the wrong one :-( OK, I've sussed it! It doens't agree when it's an adverb, of course!

cafetière a moitié remplie
...ou demie-cafetière.
Peut-être est-ce une autre manière de le dire?

: Oui, je pensais aussi cela
J'opterais pour "demi-cafetière" (sans le "e")

Demi-recette (ou moitié de la quantitié ) de café ?
Selon le contexte, s'agit-il d'utiliser la moitié de café ou de faire deux fois moins de café ? Si c'est le dernier cas, je suis en accord avec demi-cafetière.

demi-dose de café ou une demi-cafetière
Dans le 1er cas, il s'agit de la quantité de café moulu à verser dans le filtre. Dans le 2nd cas, il est question de passer du café pour la moitié du volume de la cafetière.
