There was a song in Spanish when I was a kid in Colombia:
cucharada de cafe, por pocillo es la medida.
meta en el colador y despues el agua hervida.
The translation:
tablespoon of coffee per cup is the measure
place in a strainer and then add the boiling water.
In truth this always produces better coffee than a coffee maker, because the strainer is easier to clean and water does not collect in little crannies to later moulder when the machine is turned off. I eventually threw out my own coffee maker and went with a French press. It comes completely apart, has glass and steel parts, and can be run through the dishwasher.

It all depends on how much coffee you want to make. If you are going for just a regular 8 oz. of coffee, I'd say use at least 2 1/2 tablespoons of your favorite ground coffee (if you like it strong) and just add boiling water.
Hope that helps! :)

Camp Coffee (also known as boiled coffee) Method: Remove boiling water from heat and add ground coffee. Let sit until grounds sink to the bottom, then carefully scoop out coffee with a dipper and pour in your cup. A steady hand can keep from stirring up the grounds, which I can assure you - you do NOT want in your cup. Variations: adding a spot of cold fresh water to the sitting pot helps the grinds sink faster, as does tapping the side of the pot with a spoon. Taste: Pretty good, considering the low-tech brewing method. Pros: A good method for serving multiple people at once, if you have a large enough saucepan or kettle. Cons: Long wait time for the grounds to sink. Messy to clean up. Very easy to get a mouthful of grounds. There's also a lot of wasted coffee in the bottom of the pot. I was wondering if you have any tea bags? Carefully slit one (or two) open and lay it flat. Discard the tea or save for another use. Lay the tea bag in a wire mesh sieve and add the coffee. Slowly pour boiling water over the coffee grounds. I have a one-cupper coffee maker that looks like a funnel and it came from an outdoor supply store. You fill the bottom with coffee and slowly pour the water into the funnel. It makes coffee strong enough to stand a spoon up in, but hey: it's coffee.

Start with coffee grounds and hot water. Add one cup of boiling water to 1 tablespoon of coffee grounds and stir. Let this sit for three minutes. Pour your coffee through a strainer and enjoy.

1 tbsb grounds per cup of water
For stronger taste: 1 1/2 tbsp grounds per cup of water
To simulate espresso: 2 tbsp grounds per cup of water, make water run twice through the grounds.
For a latte: Heat 1 cup of milk in microwave and add 1 cup strong brewed coffee (simili espresso) and sugar to taste!

the classic measurement is 2 TBS of grounds per cup . A classic cup of coffee is 6 not 8 Oz's.
Adjust your quantities accordingly.
