“Recommended proportions are 1 pound of coffee and 1 ¾ to 2 ½ gallons of water, or 500 grams of coffee and 7.5 to 10.5 liters of water, depending on the strength. To make weaker coffee, add hot water after removing the used grounds.”
Today, brewing instructions from coffeeresearch.org are as follows:
“Procedure of Making Coffee: Directions
The following general rules apply to each coffee making process discussed. Coffee should be brewed for 4.5-5 minutes using a ratio of 55 grams of ground coffee per liter of filtered water (195-205°F). It is convenient to use 2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of filtered water. Filtered water and spring water are recommended. Tap water imparts off flavors to the coffee and some minerals are essential to coffee flavor. Distilled water is not recommended for brewing coffee as it lacks the minerals to bring out the natural flavors of the coffee.”
So there you have it. To make a good pot of coffee you need good water, fresh roasted and fresh ground coffee, a clean well functioning brewer, and the right amount of coffee (1-2 coffee spoons per 6 oz cup). It is always a good idea to actually measure the amount of water that fills your coffee pot. The coffee makers all seem to have a different idea of what the size of a cup is.

I bought a new coffee maker but my toddler son ruined the instructions with juice. What correct measurement of coffee should be added?
thank you all.
I usually make my coffee by the cup or two cups, and I use about a heaping teaspoon per cup. It depends on other things too:
for lighter roasts I minus a little (like columbian)
for darker roasts I add a heaping teaspoon and a bit

How to Get More Work Done in the Morning No, it's not because I've wasted time chit-chatting with co-workers or waiting for the coffee maker to finish brewing a new pot. There's another, more insidious culprit: e-mail. Like many (perhaps most?) folks, I spend the first chunk of my day reading |
