How Much Coffee For 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 30, 40 Cups?How Much Ground Coffee To Use Per Cup (Measures & Ratios) How Many Scoops of Coffee Do you put in a Pot?
Mary was not a coffee drinker.She didn't understand why anyone would drink the bitter brew.She stopped as she pushed her cart past the aromatic bags.What would her family think of her?
She had bought a house and was hosting the entire family for the first time.She knew her sisters needed coffee to function in the mornings when they arrived that evening.She wondered how many brightly covered packages she would need to purchase for her family to stay for a long weekend.She settled on a can of coffee.It would be enough.
She was determined to impress her sisters with her barista skills.She doubted as she pulled the machine out of its packaging.She tried to understand the mysteries of coffeemaking by reading the coffee maker manual.
Thirty minutes later, her sister arrived in the kitchen.Is it coffee that I smell?
Mary poured a steaming cup.The person took a sip and grimaced.Is this how you like it?Turkish?
As she laughed, her coffee sprayed across the table.She wiped her eyes after she recovered.Poor Mary.We didn't teach you how to make coffee.
Like the teacher she was, she dumped out the remaining brew and washed the carafe.You have to know how many people you will serve and how much they will drink.
When you ask five different coffee drinkers how much coffee they should use, you will get different answers.Everybody is different.I am going to tell you the general guidelines since you are not a coffee expert.How much coffee for 1 cup is the first thing you should ask yourself.The answer is that a cup of coffee uses a rounded amount.
Mary giggled.The person was getting started.Mary thought that she was going to ask me if I was paying attention.
Mary shook her head.I wanted to make sure it wasn't watered down.I have heard you like it black.I did not think it would be black enough.
There was a laugh toward the ceiling.When Mary did not show up, he recovered quickly.Sorry, Mare.Let me explain it to you.
She said to start here.It is easy to figure coffee ratios in multiples of four.That works well for us.
Okay.The water is what a lot of people get wrong.They think that you need an equal amount of water since you are making a cup.Wrong.You need six ounces for every cup.
You said you use one rounded amount per cup.Where is the other liquid to make up eight ounces?
Mary grinned.There was always a sore spot for math.That doesn't make sense.Is it true that we have two missing ounces to account for?Not buying it, sis.You have some complaining to do.
She shook her hair.Forget it!There are things about coffee that don't make sense.People say a cup of coffee is six ounces.They do.Can I continue?
Coffee is measured in multiples of four.Water and coffee are used for four cups of coffee.
Mary giggled.One gallon and fourteen cups of water is all you would need.
There was a person sitting back.Let me ask you a question.Be patient with me, Little Miss Smarty-pants.
As Beth walked into the room, her sister was silent.Mary filled the coffeepot.Beth yawned.What would I miss?
