OK, silly question - I buy a 1lb bag of ground roast coffee.  To make
two cups, how much ground coffee should I measure out and put in the
filter?

Hi Pcventures!

Most home coffee brewing is 2 Tbs. per 6 oz of water. To make two cups
of coffee, use 4 tablespoons of ground coffee.


Making a great cup of coffee

?How much coffee is a matter of taste. Start with 2 level tablespoons
for each eight ounces of water and go from there. (If you really like
strong coffee, start with 2½ tablespoons).?

The Coffee to Water Proportion  

?When asked about how much coffee to use, most people will recite the
following - two tablespoons of ground coffee for each six ounces of
water. For espresso, use 7-8 grams for a single shot, and 14-16 grams
for a double shot. What's important to remember is that taste is very
subjective, so once you've established your personal cup taste - stick
to it. If you find a coffee that's too strong, add a little hot water
to the brewed coffee or try changing to a lighter bean or roast.?

The Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) defines a cup is
defined as 6 ounces of water before brewing.  This will produce 5.33
ounces of brewed coffee.  For most home coffee brewing, use 2 Tbs. per
6 oz of water.

According to Coffee Fundamentals you should use 2 level tablespoons of
ground coffee per 6-ounce cup.

?It's said the best water-to-coffee ratio is 1 tablespoon of ground
coffee or 2 tablespoons of whole beans for each 6 ounces of water.
This author has also seen 2 tablespoons of ground coffee for each 5
ounces of water recommended for the perfect cup. Then again it's been
stated 2 level tablespoons of ground coffee for every 8 ounces of
water makes the perfect cup.?
