That sounds more like Emergency Room coffee.

I use a scoop and a half for 6 cups.

Depends on how strong you want it. You have to experiment really.

 

[Zenmervolt]

I generally use about 2 tablespoons per cup. More if I want it strong.

Directions on your average can of coffee say one tablespoon per cup to start, adjust the strength to taste.

Your average store-bought coffe scoop is two tablespoons, so for an eight-cup coffee maker, four scoops. I use five -six, depending on the coffee. Jamaca Blue Mountain is a little weak, so I usually go two tablespoons / cup (coffee maker: eight cups, eight scoops).

FWIW

mmm that was a good cup 🙂

1 heaping tbsp per cup plus one for the pot.

..I grind my own..so I use 3 scoops of whole bean which works out to about 4 teaspoons and set the grinder to a fine grind and that makes 10 cups in a drip Cuisinart machine.

Smart coffee drinkers have their own reusable scoops.

I put 1 scoop in for every 2 cups. So it'd be a half-scoop for one cup, or about a tablespoon.

1 scoop per cup.

..made a mistake..that's aprox 4 tablespoons not teaspoons. of whole bean.

One heaping Tablespoon per 6 ounce cup. 😎

If you're using a drip coffemaker, it works on a curve. For just a couple cups, 1 tbsp. per cup isn't enough, and if you're making 10 cups, 1 tbsp. per cup would be too much. It would work out 1 to 1 at about 5 cups. That's how it is for our Bunn Model B-10, which cranks out 10 cups in 3 minutes. YMMV...

If you start counting them this morning, you can have one cup ready for tomorrow morning. 🙂
