How many tablespoons of coffee do you put in for ONE pot?

Answer 1

It all depends of how much coffee you plan on drinking, and how strong you like your coffee. The typical amount is, 2 tablespoons for every cup.

Answer 2

As everyone else said" How big is the pot?" I almost never make a full pot. I use the about 1/4 to 1/2 inch rule of thumb measurement. If I am making say 6 cups I put into the filter about 1/4" deep mound of coffee. That is smoothed at the top. I use mister coffee filters. If you use the cone type filters I use about 1 to 1 1/2 inches of coffee in the filter. If I am making more then I add more coffee. Now I use in general a robust coffee. I may add more if it is a weak coffee.

Answer 3

I would actually measure how many cups your pot can fill. So if your pot fills 5 cups of coffee and if youre using instant and you'd usually put a teaspoon full of instant per cup, i'd opt to use 5 tsp + 2 tsp for the pot.

Answer 4

I've found that the coffee can advises an amount that makes it waaaaay too strong. I use 5 Tbs for a 10-12 cup pot.

Answer 5

Depends on whether you like real coffee or colored water.

Not to be ruined by adding junk like sugar, artificial sweetener, cream, etc: Black only!

If you like real coffee 1 1/2 to 2 heaping tablespoons of coffee per cup. Preferably Dark Roast Community or next best Folgers.

If you like colored water for coffee: Then one level tablespoon per cup.
