The side of mainstream cans of coffee (e.g. Maxwell House, Folgers, etc) suggest to use 1/2 cup of coffee grounds to make a 10-cup pot of coffee.
Do you follow this suggested strength recommendation? How much coffee do you personally use?

I have a burr grinder that grinds into a small measuring cup. If I were making 10 cups of coffee, I would fill the cup up to the 12 cup line. That gives the coffee a slight kick, but doesn’t make it to over-powering. I highly recommend a burr grinder, and buy your beans whole. It makes for better coffee.

I use about 3/4 cup, but I like REALLY strong coffee.

I do…I use 1/2 cup of grounds for a full pot…mine’s a 12 cupper. I only make it on the weekends….during the week I get my coffee on the outside….actually, at work.

Use one tablespoon per cup of coffee. Remember, a coffee pot measures a cup at 5-6 ounces, not 8 as is the usual cup measure. Also, keep in mind that the “coffee measurer” is usually 2 tablespoons. Since I like my coffee strong, I also add one additional tablespoon for the pot.

I personally use about 2 spoons for a big cup and 1 and something for an espresso cup. Anyway, it depends on recipe and your preference.
