That's what I see on bags of coffee.
Now, you can call me a coffee weenie, but that's way too much for me.
I generally use about half that.
What coffee/water ratio do you use?
I couldn't use that much either George. Of course I take mine with cream and methamphetamine
wow.
only 2 tablespoons???
I have a small coffee pot with a metal filter about the size of a tiny tea cup.
I fill it per 2 cups of coffee.
2 tablespoons?
ppbbtthh.
I probally use about 7
Tea, Assam Superb, one heaping teaspoon loose leaf per cup, steep for 3 1/2 minutes. When making a pot add an additional heaping teaspoon.
You are a coffee weeny, no doubt.
My scoop is supposed to be 1 for 2 cups.
Mine is one scoop piled really high for 2 cups, plus another extra scoop for the pot.
Weak coffe actually makes me nauseous.
Next you'll be telling us you add milk and sugar to your java....bleech.
I take my pot without water and don't spoil at it with Assam.
Two tablespoons per 6 oz. of water; sounds like it would taste a bit gritty to me.
I grind a macchina full of beans and add them to the whatchacallit, the brownpaper filter, and signal for the water to plotz through.
Should I buy already ground beans, I add some to the filter and go from there. My some is probably deeper than yours...
Gritty - we've been having that discussion on the Starbuck's thread. Mildly roasted beans and hot water don't usually add up to grit.
Let me rephrase that;
2 Tablespoons of coffee in 6 oz. of water; yes, that's gritty.
