How many tablespoons per 6 ozs?

[briadea]

I have seen two different views on how much coffee to add to each 6 ozs. of water. Sme say one per. others two per.
What is the consensus among coffee lovers?

It would depend on the bean, the roast,and how you like your JAVA.

One pound makes 3 gallons...good rule of thumb is one tablespoon for every 4 ounces of water...10 cup coffee maker 10 tablespoons...if you have a coffee scoop it is usually one scoop for every 2 cups( they are usually 2 tbls)

I use 4 tablespoons with 8oz. of water, which makes 6oz. of coffee.

Yeah...what topher said, but it gets a little trickier when you are brewing into airpots 8)

Are we talking about brewing into airpots now? If so yeah is different and the grinder is different too usually. Is this a high demand environment or is it a feww cups in the AM?

Recipe....

In the U.K. there is no hard and fast recipe for extraction methods, apart from espresso based drinks...4:1 (7g/28ml shot)
We usually recommend 12:1 French Press (80g per Litre)
1oz-30g per pint/ 568ml Drip.
Hope this isn't too far off the mark....but l guess it's different where ever you are??
:-D :-D :-D

However big that fancy silver spoon thingie you get from Gevalia, I use two of those (whole bean) in my grinder per 1 10-ounce mug (which shows 2 cups on my carafe).
