We usually fill with 8 cups of water and do 4-4.5 tablespoon scoops of coffee.

Ratio I use is 14 grams of water for every gram of coffee. Typically do single cup pour over with 17.5 grams of coffee

Add more milk. Or hot water.

I work offshore. We drink strong coffee. 12 cup makers we usually use two big scoops. Offshore coffee is no for people who don't like strong arse coffee!

6 scoops for our 8 cup OXO coffee maker. I believe the instructions are more towards 8 to 8.

As a side note, when saying "cups", a cup of coffee is not considered 8 oz's water.

I grind mine. I use the same preset setting every day and always use the lines on the side of the pot to get water to 8 cups.. easy enough.

Unless you’re using the same 2 scoops Post Raisin Bran used, that is some weak arse coffee.

1 gram of coffee to 15 grams of water. That's the ratio I use in my coffee maker.

For my french press I do 1/2 cup of coffee to 3 cups of water. Ratio seems to work just fine, but it's a pain to clean the thing all the time.

1 table spoon of coffee per 2 cups water (not an actual cup, but the measurement on the pot)
I don’t water it down with sugar and creamer. I drink it straight so I don’t make it real strong.

One heaping tablespoon per cup of water.

Usually go for 6 cups if it's just me or 8-9 if my wife wants some.

Recommendation is 1 coffee scoop (2 tablespoons) per 6 oz but I find that pretty strong.


That's over the top, in my opinion.

Started out with Community's recs. Too Strong. For a full 10-12 cup decanter, I now use 3/4 cup.

8 cup (6 oz per cup) Bonavita drip coffee maker: 4 level scoops (2 T per scoop) of Illy or Lavazza ground coffee.

I had to measure to get an accurate account and see where I use 1/2 cup of CDM Coffee & Chickory grounds for a 12 cup pot every morning.

That makes for a relatively strong pot of coffee that gets me going every day.
