I lost the scoop, can anyone tell me how much ground coffee, in oz., to use when making a full pot of iced coffee in this system? Thank you

According to equivalents on the Internet, one ounce equals two tablespoons. I use 8 rounded scoops for a full pot, that is up to the top of the bodum emblem. I measured one rounded scoop of coffee and put it into a two-tablespoon measure, and it fit perfectly. So, one rounded scoop should be equal to one ounce of ground coffee. Therefore, we use about 8 ounces of coffee grounds to make our pot. If you put 16 exact tablespoons (not rounded) of coffee in the pot, you will have the strength of coffee my husband and I drink. If you measure in ounces, try 8 ounces. I don't think our coffee is strong as strong as that served at Starbucks or McDonalds, but it's not weak. I hope this was helpful.

To make REGULAR-STRENGTH COFFEES:2 Tbsp for each 6-ounces of water for LIGHT ROASTED coffees; only use 1 Tbsp per 6-ounces of water for MEDIUM ROAST COFFEES; a bit less for dark/caramelized coffees. Your particular coffee beans/roast may differ slightly in proportions. Yes, you have to double or triple the amount to make a concentrate. It takes LOTS of ground coffee to make a standard hot brew; it takes even more to make a cold concentrate. It also depends on the coarseness/fineness of the grind. I use a drip/percolator grind and it is always great in a press. French Press grind is between drip/percolator grind. Have fun with your yummy brewed/steeped/infused coffees!

Honestly, I don't you the oz method. I just fill the bottom up with coffee just over the black plastic on the bottom and go from there. I like my coffee strong though.

I don't use a scoop....I just add coffee to the top of the bottom black band, then add water.....hope that helps! :)

With a medium/slightly dark roast coffee I was using around 5 tablespoons ground coffee for a full pot. That said I like my coffee a little bit stout and my wife doesn't so that's where We found it to be a good compromise.

I don't know about ounces. We never measured. But, we fill the press with the appropriate amount of course ground coffee, let it seep for four minutes and then plunge the press. We get three cups (not mugs) of coffee. Pretty good coffee, and the press because of its design and insulation factors, holds the third cup pretty hot. How many ounces in a cup? Three times whatever is a pretty good estimate. Hope this helps.

I may have misunderstood your question! No brand that I know of gives the onces information that you want! What I meant to say is, that the only way you will get your answer, is to fill the carafe with water, and weigh it on a scale that measures in onces! That will give you your answer! If you were referring to scoops of coffee grounds, most people use two or three scoops, but obviously, your desire for weaker or stronger coffee would come into play here! If my answer was confusing, it was not intended to be so!

I have used mine extensively for brewing coffee, and here's what I've found: If you grind your coffee coarsely, you'll have to use around 25 grams per mug, and you still get a little bit of "sludge" in the bottom of the cup. If it's important to you not to have any coffee grounds come through, I recommend using a paper filter to line the strainer (I use #4 cone-shaped filters). Then you can also grind your coffee much more finely, and use less per cup (I use about 17 grams for a16 oz. cup, at somewhere between a fine "drip" and an espresso grind). The thing that I like so very well about using this for coffee making is that its thermal mass is very low, meaning that it doesn't cool the water down too much for optimal brewing (or drinking). If you preheat your mug your coffee will still be quite hot when it's brewed.

I use a #4 paper and then a reusable screen filter on top of that. I have found that using just the paper filter tends to clog up with my grind. The screen seperates the fine particulate mater from the larger ground pieces of coffee. I use 2 large scoops (I believe they are 2 tablespoons each) for my carafe, and one large scoop for my travel mug (Starbucks medium size).I hope tis helps.

depinend about your grounding size, the more corse your coffee is them more serving you will get per hopper, you have dialler for grounding size it goes from 0 - 14 ... I am using 10-12 and it gives about 8 - 10 full baskets per hopper hope that is useful

Hello Kevin: we are doing 27g of beans and then grind, fill to the 400 ml level and we feel we are making a really fine cup of coffee. We worked to this point mathematically then tweaked to taste.To get to the 500 ml, do the math and then tweak to taste and I think you'll be fine. 27 divided by 4 is 6.75 so add another 6 and three quarter gs. of beans and fill to the 500 mark, should be great! but play with it to taste

I use 40 grams of coffee and 20 ounces of water. If this is too strong for you, just reduce the coffee. I like my coffee with a dark roast.

Hey P. Radcliffe, Ekobrew filters arrived today7/28. They work Great. Using the included Bunn measure spoon reads 2 cups per 10oz water. I put 2 Flat level full grinds into filter & closed filter lid fine. So, I know it will hold 2 spoonful, I usually make my coffee slight less than 2 spoonful & 8oz water.The beauty part is I shook the full used grinds & filter from the holder in 1 shake. Do not have to rinse holder after each cup. Just rinse holder when I am thru drinking coffee each day.TIP: used grounds + filter dropped out of holder in one try. I think it will drop out faster while still hot instead of letting the grounds dry in the holder.Enjoyed chatting with you. Hey P. Radcliffe, Ekobrew filters arrived today7/28. They work Great.

I would use around 18 scoops but I don't like very strong coffee. I also count out the scoops into a bowl, not directly into the basket in case I lose count.

It ONLY works with ground coffee. You open the top and put in a small coffee filter, then your ground coffee. I believe the instructions say 4 tablespoons (double check your own to confirm) but I usually just put an amount that looks like "enough" to me. It's not exactly rocket surgery.

I've got a melitta cone. Love it. I've used (and loved) Chemex, as well as some french presses, and auto-drip systems. The chemex is nice, but the filters are expensive. Auto-drip systems just make bad coffee. It's really hard to get the best taste out of your beans with an autodrip system. The Melitta, on the other hand, does just fine. Here's the thing though: You gotta use the correct amount of coffee. The SCCA recommends ~8 grams per 5 ounces of coffee. I found a lifehacker article that recommends 60 grams per liter. The point is, these people who are making weak coffee have simply discovered that the melitta requires you to use more coffee than an auto-drip maker. Oh yeah, edited to add: It works with folgers or other packaged, pre-ground coffees just fine. Why? Because the "dwell time" on the mellitta is very short compared to auto-drip makers, which actually are doing a terrible job (underheating the water and letting it stay in contact with the grounds too long). If you want strong coffee, use more coffee. I think you'll love what you get. Most people, when you say strong coffee, think BITTER coffee, because that's how it's been made. Someone made a second pot with the old grounds mixed in with some new, or it's been evaporating all day on a burner. Really, what you have there is over-brewed, burned coffee. I think that's the type of coffee these folks were looking for, thus making the melitta taste "weak" in comparison.

I use about one scoop per 6 oz of water and I brew for about 15 minutes for a strong brew. It also depends on altitude too.

Minimum 1 drop, just pour enough water so the grounds can absorb and then release 1 drop of coffee.Maximum infinite, just keep pouring. Adjust grounds as necessary to get the flavor profile you want. For me ~14g ground is good for 8-12 oz coffee, I tried to get 16-24oz with that and lacked boldness.

I asked the same question four months ago and never got a reply. This is a simple glitch to fix at the site; wake someone up. I had to buy it to find out. IT IS A 500 ml POT. 220 ml (aprx 7 oz.) will fill the bottom portion below the hammered design if you just want to make 2 good demi-tasse cups of coffee minus the solids. You can make a decent small coffee as well as a larger amount to share so don't listen to much of the chatter from the "experts" online regarding appropriate size to buy. Well made, nice design, worth the extra dollars for a very solid ibrik. Now I will travel back in time and assure myself I am buying the correct pot.

Ahh. the magic question. Depends on how strong you like your coffee, how fine your grounds are, how long you let it steep, even the brand of coffee. Personally, I use a scale to measure both grounds and water. I use a ratio of 1.25 grams to 1 oz of water. I know is sounds complicated but with the kg/lb toggle button it is real easy. so for a 18oz cup of coffee, I put in 24g of grounds. I let mine steep for 5 minutes then pour it all out into my cup and/or thermos. This prevents bitterness and maintains the same flavor throughout the whole pot. That is my preference. My suggestion is to start with your preferred brand of coffee, ground course, and start with your usual measure of coffee and water you would put in your regular coffee maker. Then adjust up or down depending on what you get till you figure out your magic formula.
