Measure out your whole bean coffee.

Auto drip coffee measurements.

The standard coffee measure is to have coffee 1 15th of the amount of water. So 6 x 10 60 ounces of water for 10 cups. Although play around with the amount of grounds used until you find the taste strength you prefer. For example when brewing with an 8 cup automatic brewer we use 80 grams of coffee with 1280 grams of water.

An automatic drip coffee maker controls most of the measuring and timing tasks so you don t have to. Even if you are using a manual dripper you have to be very careful when selecting it. Said another way put in 15 times as much water as coffee. Most drip makers use a 6 ounce cup size.

Place a new coffee filter in the brew basket of your automatic drip coffee maker. Add 2 tablespoons of 1850 coffee grounds to the filter for every 6 ounce serving you plan to make. Drip coffee is more forgiving than other methods as far as precise measurements go. The coffee maker is the most important piece of equipment.

We recommend a 1 16 ratio of coffee to water. Still make sure not to overload or skimp a safe rule of thumb is two healthy tablespoons of coffee per 16oz. Remember add 6 ounces of water for every two tablespoons of coffee grounds. For a tasty cup of coffee using a drip coffee maker measure coffee grounds by using 2 level tablespoons of grounds per 6 ounces of water.
