How much coffee grounds
428005
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.

Probably 3 tablespoons. 4 for really strong coffee. Remember it will make stronger coffee any ways because it is a press. Press the plunger slow and good drinking!

If you are asking how many grounds are floating in your coffee, there are absolutely none. This is the only French Press that I have owned thatcompletely seals the jar while plunging, leaving all grounds in the bottom. The silicone ring around the plunger creates the seal. Love these presses...use them at home and for camping!

It depends on your definition of a cup. But for those of us who drink it in a standard 6 - 8 oz. coffee mug you could get away with using a ratio of 1 or 1.5 oz. of ground coffee to 12 or 16 fluid oz. of water, depending on how strong or weak you take it. Flip the switch on the side of the dispersal cone to the lowest flow setting to really saturate your grounds if you brew small batches of coffee.

Not sure what kind of coffee grounds you are using, but I have not had this happen. I have used both sides of this coffee machine and have been trilled with it. My son was home this weekend and it made wonder Folgers Standard ground coffee by the 12 cups. Felt like the commercial :) You could cut down a coffee filter I guess on your screen one cup side to prevent your small grounds from getting into your cup? Never had that first problem with this Hamilton Beach---we love it!

One single serving makes approx. 8-12 ounces, perhaps more, depending on how mild or strong you prefer your coffee.

Sure! Just put less coffee in the filter, and use less water -- to brew 2 cups, for example, just use half the coffee and water you would for a full pot. Be aware, though, that an "official" cup of coffee is just 6 ounces (5 ounces for hot tea, in case you were wondering!). So if you drink a mug of morning coffee, be sure to make at least half a pot (2 cups).

According to Keurig they estimate that an 8oz cup of coffee using the standard 2oz K-Cup would yield between 100-140mg of caffeine. K-cup consists of 2 tablespoons of ground coffee, a filter, and other packaging material for a total of 2 onces. There are also "extra bold" K-Cups available (such as Jet Fuel) and according to Keurig's website they have 30% more ground coffee in them (2.6 tablespoons) than the regular K-Cup. This would increase the caffeine content to around 150mg/ 8oz cup.

I used 2.5 cups of coffee grounds and it was perfect! I usually use Starbucks brand coffee...Hope this helps.

I think the key to your question is: "too much". This press is a good coffee maker for the price and has not presented any problems, so far (I've had the press for a year and a half.) Answering your question: there is a residue of grounds left but not excessive. Good luck.

It depends on how strong you like your coffee. For 8 oz I would suggest two heaping tablespoons. You can adjust it up or down the next time.

It depends on what "cup" measurement the brewer uses. Some are 4 ounces and some 6 ounces, but none are a standard 8 ounce cup. The ratio is 10-12 grams of coffee per 8 ounces or about 235 grams of water. Overflowing is a sign your grind is too fine.

It should be pretty coarse. You want your coffee grounds to be roughly 1 to 1.5 mm in size. Remember to use 2 tbsp of coffee for every cup of water and brew for 4 minutes. If you want your coffee stronger or weaker use more or less coffee. If you're still unsure how much to grind your coffee go to Starbucks and ask them to grind your coffee for a French press.

The basic formula for french press coffee is 2 tablespoons of coarse grounds per 6 oz of water (6oz would be a small cup in my opinion). To grind 4 tablespoons it takes about 1 minute or so. For finer grounds such as espresso, it will take longer. If by "grind level" you mean the size of the grind then yes, it is easily adjustable from very coarse to very fine.

Four cups is the amount listed in the manual which is really around 2 mugs of coffee. I do this almost every morning.

2-3cups. Not strong traditional moka coffee from this pot. Get the Bialetti electric version, makes true monks coffee

As a quick look at caffeine informer shows, "Consumers must also follow Death Wish Coffee's brewing instructions to arrive at the advertised caffeine content. They recommend using 2 1/2 tablespoons of finely ground coffee per 6 fl. oz. of water." By doing so you use quite a bit more grounds to brew your cup than you do with other brands. It gives each cup about 660mg of caffeine.

One cup about 8 oz. If you use too much water, like regular coffee it will taste weak.
