Question regarding drip brewing and how many scoops per cup

I'm old school. I know I've got it about right when the first sip brings a "Whoa!" out of the little woman.

My little woman doesn't drink coffee unless it has more sugar and milk than coffee.

I used the measurements above today and it was damn good. I think I made it stronger a couple days ago though.

After 21 years in the Army, good coffee melts the spoon....great coffee pours like molasses.

First of all, who drinks a 6 oz cup...I now that size won't do me any good.

A 10 cup pot = 10 6oz cups. A 12 cup pot = 12 5oz cups. That's right , the two hold the same amount of water.

I don't use a scoop. I recommend a 1/2 level measuring cup of whole beans (ground course for a flat basket filter and medium fine for a cone filter) to make the perfect pot of coffee.

Play around a bit and find out how much works best for you. And don't forget to have fun doing so.

I have some Sweet Maria's french roast blend when taken into a rolling second crack and made strong will grow hair in places that hair doesn't grow, I have yet to get a spoon to stand up in it but it sounds like you have more practice then I . I will gladly send some to you.
