How much ground coffee is best to use for each cup of coffee in a drip coffee system?
A good starting point is to refer to the owner’s manual for your drip machine. If unsure, I would follow the manufacturer’s recommendations as a starting point. Or, if you like your coffee stronger, start with one rounded tablespoon of coffee for each cup of water. Another method would be to use a given amount of water(in ounces), based on the number of cups you intend to drink at a setting, and start with one rounded tablespoon of coffee for each cup of coffee you’re making and weigh that. This would be your starting point. From here continue with the fixed amount of water and either increase or decrease the ground coffee based on your taste preferences. Our recommendation is to use an unbleached coffee filter as well. Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and most large supermarkets offer unbleached coffee filters; be sure to read the packaging before purchasing.
