Well the way I do it is to take the number of cups you are making and divide by two. 4 cups of water = 2 scoops of coffee. 6 cups of water =3 scoops… etc etc etc

1 teaspoon of coffee per mug of water works for me.

I Live in Seattle….land of coffee snoots.
I grind my own beans.
I use automatic drip coffeemaker.
I do one heaping teaspoon per cup.
I just kinda eyeballin it.
Not debating whether teaspoon is heaping or well rounded.
I like my coffee on the stronger side so if I making ten cups I might throw in a bit more. Couple of skimpier teaspoons .
Better to brew it a bit strong.

Use two tablespoons of ground coffee per six ounces of water. If you use less coffee or more water then you get a weak, bitter-tasting drink because you’re leeching tannins out of the coffee beans. Alton Brown has a good guide to coffee brewing at http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/...

I use one level teaspoon for every two cuts of water and one for the pot. So if I am making 8 cups of coffee I use 4 plus 1 for 5 level teaspoons. I generally fill the pot to the top and use 7 level teaspoons of coffee. I use a drip coffee pot. I don’t like my coffee real strong but I don’t want it weak either. Hope this helps.
