A question about making coffee. HELP |
|
Is it one scoop of coffee per cup of water or two scoops? I like my coffee fairly strong. I haven't made coffee in about 6 years.

I have to say, I just know how far up the side of the grinder is the right amount - that way I don't have to think.

4. The Specialty Coffee Association of America recommends |
|
two tablespoons for every 6oz of water. Most coffeemakers are calibrated where one "cup" is 5oz (yes, it's wierd.) For most coffees I usually use one level measuring tablespoon for every 5oz coffeemaker "cup". I save the 2-tbl/6oz recipe for the really good Guatemalan or Sumatran coffees I sometimes get. MMMmmmmmmm! :D

I'm working from home today and ran out this morning. Guess what, I'm going out for lunch and will grab a pound of beans and buzz my way through the rest of the day.

9. I use a rounded tablespoon |
|
and put three of those to make four cups, my carafe says it's seven cups, but my cup is larger so three/four works for me, if I want a little stronger I will heap up a spoon,
