How Much Coffee Do I Put In a Coffee Maker?

You want the perfect tasting brew, but how much coffee do you use in your coffee machine? Well, it will depend of course on how many cups you want to make and how strong you want it. It will also depend on the brand and type you are using. If you are using beans which have a higher level of acidity, like Kenyan coffee then consider using less in the pot.

But this is a general guide which I use. I do like a strong cup of java, so I use 2 heaped tablespoons per mug of water, plus an extra an extra tablespoon on top for 5 – 6 cups.

If you have  just got your coffee maker and this is your first, then you will have to rely on the old, ‘trial and error method’ until you find your perfect tasting cup of coffee! Good luck.

About Andy Horton

I am a coffee aficionado and green tea enthusiast! I guess I can 'blame' for this because of my parents! As I was growing up my mother was always sipping a cup of coffee and my Dad well, as he has passed on - we celebrate 'national tea drinking day' on his birthday every year. It seemed as if tea was his 'Popeye's Spinach'. On a more serious topic, healthy living plays a huge part in my life and that of my families. So you will find subjects on this website relating to health. You can subscribe to my free daily newspaper at The Coffee Alera Daily and find me on Twitter and Facebook.
