What proportion of water and ground coffee should be used when making a pot of coffee?
The international standard for brewing coffee is 2 tablespoons of ground coffee for every 6 fluid ounces of water. This produces a very rich cup of coffee, so you might want to try it and then decrease the amount of ground coffee next time to suit your own tastes. Your pot may measure in coffee cups (6 oz) or real cups (8 oz), so you might want to use a measuring cup to determine the capacity of your pot before getting too far into this process.
