New question: I have several tins, round, rectangular etc. How do I find out how many oz. of wax candle it can hold?

OK, but any help in finding that out?

how well is the ground coffee packed?

No clue. I guess "average" .. I'll try some more searching on google.

From the Internation Coffee Organization:
Coarse ground coffee = 19 lb/cu ft
Fine ground coffee = 25 lb/cu ft

I realize it's in imperial units 😕
Should be a conversion to metric units somewhere, I'm too lazy too look for it.

Doesn't wax have different density than water?

Yes, but the volume is the same either way. So it may weigh more or less than water, but the volume will be the same. (Assuming you're talking about ounces as volume, not weight)
 
Right, of course spatial volume would be the same.

Should have been more clear: I'm looking for the weight of wax inside the tin.

Ah, okay. Then just use water to determine the volume, look up the density of wax on google or something, and figure it out.
 
Been trying to for a day but unsuccessful 🙁 Guess I'll try my luck again, i was hoping someone was in the candle making business 😉
