Measuring coffee without a scale is difficult because all coffee varies in weight. For example, a spoonful of dark roast coffee weighs less than a spoonful of light roast coffee.
Coffee mugs are actually about 8 fluid ounces (8. 3 imp fl oz; 240 ml). Add another . 06 ounces (1. 7 g) of coffee along with the extra 2 fluid ounces (2. 1 imp fl oz; 59 ml) of water.
A blender, mortar and pestle, or hammer are a few common tools that can be used in place of a grinder.
For a French press, let the coffee steep in the water for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
For example, a scoop of finely-ground coffee is less dense than a coarsely-ground coffee, which means less coffee in a scoop. Darker roasts are also less dense than lighter roasts.
If you’re using coffee beans, grind them first, then scoop 2 tablespoons of grounds. To make a mug of coffee, add another ⅓ tablespoon of grounds.
Use the coffee’s weight to quickly find out how much water to use. Measure the coffee’s weight in ounces using a scale, then multiply that number by 16. This tells you how many fluid ounces of water you need. For grams, multiply the coffee’s weight by 16. 6945. This gives you the amount of cubic centimeters of water to use.
