Coffee makers call a cup less than a true cup size
A “coffee industry problem” is that a true cup of
coffee is 6 oz. but the majority of coffee makers use
4 oz. The correct measurement is 1 tablespoon for each
6 oz. then adjust to taste. To get there you need to
measure your water with a measuring cup and measure
your cup with a measuring spoon. After you do this a
few time you can figure out exactly how much water and
your grinder settings for a great cup of coffee.
I have a Capresso coffee maker that I bought last
month and just went throught this process to fine tune
how I like my coffee. For the 10 cup water level I use
the the 4 1/2 cup grind setting with the grind set two
notches below the mid-point.
