How much coffee should I use per cup?

G’day Coffee Lover!

Finding the perfect amount of coffee to brew can be a bit tricky, but don't worry, we’re here to help. The amount of coffee you should use per cup may vary depending on your personal preferences, the brewing method, and the type of coffee beans you're using.

As a general rule, a standard serving size of coffee is 6 ounces (177 ml), and you should aim to use approximately 1 to 2 tablespoons (7 to 14 grams) of coffee per 6 ounces of water. However, this can vary depending on how strong you like your coffee.

For instance, if you're using a drip coffee maker and brewing a 12-cup pot of coffee, you'll need to use approximately 12 to 24 tablespoons (84 to 168 grams) of coffee grounds. But remember, the amount can vary based on your preferences.

If you're using a French press or pour-over method, you may need to adjust the amount of coffee you use based on your personal preferences. Keep in mind that the grind size of the coffee beans can also impact the strength and flavor of your coffee, so you might need to adjust your brewing method and coffee-to-water ratio accordingly.

In the end, the best way to determine the perfect amount of coffee to use per cup is through experimentation. I suggest adjusting the amount of coffee and water until you find the ideal balance of flavor and strength that suits your taste. All the best and happy brewing!

Remember, the best coffee is the one that makes you smile =)
