    • How much coffee makes the best cup? (Measuring)

    A full-flavored cup of coffee calls for two slightly rounded tablespoons of ground coffee per 6 ounces of water. Use more grounds for stronger coffee, and less grounds for weaker coffee. We prefer using more coffee, rather than less, because it makes a heartier cup, but experiment to find out what you like best.
