Question: Got a big (normal sized) coffee maker but not too sure how many 2tsp scoops i need for a 10 cup maker. thought i'd ask a pro

[tizzahell]

well... Mr fuss, I do believe the correct measurement is something like 2 tsp per cup of ground coffee. Honestly I do not have a clue though

I put about 3 1/2 scoops for 8 cups in my dad's machine, I grind my beans fresh at home when making coffee.

I grind my bean fresh at home when making coffee.

wow, i didnt think it took that much know how. Maybe i should stick to my 2 cupper

Nah im a master and from that tidbit i will have this down pat within a few wasted cans of coffee

I use a 2tsp scoopidity doopity now for my 2 cupper and i will mathematically finger this out with my sharp and kene, accurate masterly skills.

whole bean is so much better! I buy the store brand mocha java beans generally.

I think I would put in about 4 - 5 big tablespoons of ground for a whole pot.

How does one smash or crush these beans? Are they in regular super markets? What makes them better? How much, any cheaper?


bout 8 bucks or so for a big can of folgers here

[tizzahell]

Beans are more expensive generally (sold by $/100 grams) and they sell electric grinders for around $20. Most supermarkets have a big grinder in the section with their whole bean coffee... if anyone wanted to they could do just enough for a pot or so to see if they really liked it.

I will have to look closer when i hit the supermarket again in the spring ... spanx for all the info


You all may now hijack the hell out of this thread

pssst

Did you read the instruction book for the new coffee maker?
It should say to run water through it once or twice before making the first pot

[fuss]

I've had it for years

[tizzahell]

in that case run a cup of white vinegar through... and then a couple of pots of water
