What scale would be recommended to weight the coffee to use in it? I usually just use the coffee scoop to measure my coffee.

You are wise to measure by weight!. The best starting ratio of water to coffee is 15:1, then you can experiment to your own taste (and to the coarseness of your coffee grind). Any digital kitchen scale will work fine, but it's very helpful to have one that adjusts to tare so that you are weighing only the water or the coffee and not the container as well.

Depends on your coffee strength and how much water you use. I use one heaping tablespoon per 8 oz. The more the better!

What you really need is a scale. This is the one I have and it works great(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ESHDGOI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1). There might be cheaper or different ones that are better now, but just make sure that you get one that has a resolution of .001 grams. That will measure down to individual milligrams. I use a regular plastic straw to scoop it out of the bag and put it onto the scale. This scale comes with a little weighing dish that is perfect for measuring powders. Trying to measure with spoons is ridiculous. Do you pack it or leave it fluffy or what? What you really need is a scale.

I weighed the amount I normally use to make a cup of coffee. It is approximately between 17 and 22 grams. This is a single cup dripper. It makes the best coffee I've ever made.

You may be using too much coffee. I use 25 grams for 16 ounces with the setting on 9V. This works well for a high quality roasted Columbian in a drip brew.

Try using a most coarse grind and more coffee. i use 70 grams per pot, which is almost 9 grams per cup.

I also have a Cuisinart coffee maker and use 5 tablespoons to make 4 cups. I like it strong and want the coffee to have plenty of taste and flavor= five tablespoons is almost perfect. Play around with different amounts to get what you like.

I had to do a lot of experimenting. Here's my fix. I use a strong French roast, Starbucks French Roast or Kirkland's Sumatra whole bean. I have a Mr. Coffee burr grinder set at 'coarse'. I use 1 rounded Tbsp. grounds per cup of coffee. This coffee pot did not perform well with a standard grind or med/weak coffee. The coarse grind also reduces sediment and makes cleanup a tad easier. We are finally enjoying our morning coffee again.

I use a 1/32nd measuring spoon, or a "pinch" measuring spoon and it's the perfect amount whether it's in coffee, tea, or oatmeal. You can buy them here on amazon for a couple bucks.

Friend... I use 3 level 1/8 cup scoops of coffee to get the results that I like... You can use as much or little as you wish to get the results for your taste.

Pretty much all measuring cups are based on fluid ounces (volumetric) whether used wet or dry. Measuring to weight would depend on the material and how much it is packed, so to be precise with stuff like flour you will always need a scale.

I put 4 tablespoons in my 12 cup coffee maker. Make this and you can adjust from there if you like it weaker or stronger.

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.

Most people use a heaping tablespoon of ground coffee to 6-8 ounces of water. This seems to be the right proportion and makes a "reasonably strong" cup of coffee. If you want stronger add a standard teaspoon to the mix.

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.

I use a regular coffee scoop...I think it is 2 tablespoons...and can't get much more that that.

run a pot of 50/50 water and vinegar. I understand that this is the best way to clean scale from the water tank and the tubing and keep the coffeemaker running properly.

I measured mine dry with a food scale and then cooked. You could use that and then take 1 cooked portion and translate it to cups or cooked weight if that's what you preferred.
