I've always though MILs coffee was weak and well, now I know why. Apparently she uses three heaping tablespoons. Per pot. Brown water, indeed!

I do the same. I heaping tablespoon per cup. Then I usually toss in an extra scoop for good measure. As PP said, you can dilute, but you cannot make stronger.

I just eyeball, I have no idea what the measurements are. I fill the coffee grinder about 5/6 to the top for a little over 10 cups of water.

The "cups" on my drop coffee maker are only 5 oz. and the scoop that I use is 1/8 of a cup (2 TBSP). For 12 "cups" (60 oz), I use 6 scoops (3/4 cup of ground coffee or 12 tablespoons).

This. I don’t measure. Our coffee grinder is set for 30 seconds and I just dump it in. It’s about 3/4 of the basket.

With medium to strong coffee beans, 1 Tbls per cup of water plus an extra T "for the pot." With a weaker roast, more.

* per cup, as marked by my Oxo coffee machine. I don't know how many ounces that is. And I use Starbucks house is my default roast.

Bingo. I use a quarter-cup measuring cup (who has time for spoons??) and fill the filter basket to the brim.

My wife often pours her first cup the second there's enough in the pot. She's drinking 200 proof Joe, baby.

My people!

A couple decades ago I bought a metal coffee scoop at Starbucks. It is simply a 2 tablespoon measure intended to make a single 8 ounce cup of coffee. Like a sheep, I use that thing.

64g per liter of water. That is approx 12 g per 6oz cup. If you like strong coffee, get a darker roast. Don’t use more grounds.

3/4 cups of coffee to 12 cups water

It depends on the coffee. For 10 cups, i'd use anywhere between 9-12 scoops of coffee.
