I lost the scoop, can anyone tell me how much ground coffee, in oz., to use when making a full pot of iced coffee in this system? Thank you

According to equivalents on the Internet, one ounce equals two tablespoons. I use 8 rounded scoops for a full pot, that is up to the top of the bodum emblem. I measured one rounded scoop of coffee and put it into a two-tablespoon measure, and it fit perfectly. So, one rounded scoop should be equal to one ounce of ground coffee. Therefore, we use about 8 ounces of coffee grounds to make our pot. If you put 16 exact tablespoons (not rounded) of coffee in the pot, you will have the strength of coffee my husband and I drink. If you measure in ounces, try 8 ounces. I don't think our coffee is strong as strong as that served at Starbucks or McDonalds, but it's not weak. I hope this was helpful.

To make REGULAR-STRENGTH COFFEES:2 Tbsp for each 6-ounces of water for LIGHT ROASTED coffees; only use 1 Tbsp per 6-ounces of water for MEDIUM ROAST COFFEES; a bit less for dark/caramelized coffees. Your particular coffee beans/roast may differ slightly in proportions. Yes, you have to double or triple the amount to make a concentrate. It takes LOTS of ground coffee to make a standard hot brew; it takes even more to make a cold concentrate. It also depends on the coarseness/fineness of the grind. I use a drip/percolator grind and it is always great in a press. French Press grind is between drip/percolator grind. Have fun with your yummy brewed/steeped/infused coffees!

Honestly, I don't you the oz method. I just fill the bottom up with coffee just over the black plastic on the bottom and go from there. I like my coffee strong though.

I don't use a scoop....I just add coffee to the top of the bottom black band, then add water.....hope that helps! :)

I did not get a scoop either, likely find one at Bed Bath and Beyond. Did get a cool cone filter holder from Melita for the counter, worth the few bucks. JSYK. They probably have a scoop, too. But I LOVE our Bonavita! Very HOT coffee at last!

I'm using an all purpose grind (Starb_cks C_f_ V_r_na), 6 coffee measures (old C-F-Nuts measure) for an 8 cup pot. Using M-L_tt_ #4 paper filters, and coffee is very good. Found that some St_rb_ks stores grind coffee coarser than others, even when you specify conical filter. Like the pot; makes cosistently good brew.

I will say now that the glass pot is fantastic. This is true mostly because you can see how much coffee you have made well in advance of over filling. It is also great because the pot is calibrated - those bumps artfully relay how much water per scoop of coffe grounds you might want. This helps to make the best custom pot of coffee through the drip system with out measuring water in an additional step.

I use 1 scoop for each 2 cup marker. However if you are brewing 8 cups it really should be about 6 & 1/2 scoops otherwise it might be a bit too strong unless you are from Europe - then should use 7 scoops.

I use medium ground good quality coffee and use about 28-30 slightly rounded Tablespoons of coffee for 36 cups--for a pretty strong coffee. You have to use some trial and error.

Regular ground coffee works good. Take out plunger...put in coffee...( I use 4 scoops ) ....carefully pour in hot water up to the top chrome of the handle...... replace plunger pushing down halfway then pull back up to top of water.....wait for coffee to steep.... 8 or so minutes....push plunger all the way down.....and pour into favorite mug. Enjoy !

Hello Kevin: we are doing 27g of beans and then grind, fill to the 400 ml level and we feel we are making a really fine cup of coffee. We worked to this point mathematically then tweaked to taste.To get to the 500 ml, do the math and then tweak to taste and I think you'll be fine. 27 divided by 4 is 6.75 so add another 6 and three quarter gs. of beans and fill to the 500 mark, should be great! but play with it to taste

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.

Hi,We like strong coffee so we use 3 heaping scoops, which each scoop holds 1/8th cup and haven't had an issue with that! I hope that helps.

Try about 6 scoops then adjust to your liking. All depends on the coffee and your taste. Take care of your machine, it was the best coffee maker I ever had and is no longer available.

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 have used mine extensively for brewing coffee, and here's what I've found: If you grind your coffee coarsely, you'll have to use around 25 grams per mug, and you still get a little bit of "sludge" in the bottom of the cup. If it's important to you not to have any coffee grounds come through, I recommend using a paper filter to line the strainer (I use #4 cone-shaped filters). Then you can also grind your coffee much more finely, and use less per cup (I use about 17 grams for a16 oz. cup, at somewhere between a fine "drip" and an espresso grind). The thing that I like so very well about using this for coffee making is that its thermal mass is very low, meaning that it doesn't cool the water down too much for optimal brewing (or drinking). If you preheat your mug your coffee will still be quite hot when it's brewed.

Minimum 1 drop, just pour enough water so the grounds can absorb and then release 1 drop of coffee.Maximum infinite, just keep pouring. Adjust grounds as necessary to get the flavor profile you want. For me ~14g ground is good for 8-12 oz coffee, I tried to get 16-24oz with that and lacked boldness.

I pour mine into a separate container after pressing. Then I clean out the press and start another one. The wife and I drink a lot of coffee so it doesn't last long for the two of us. I bought a glass pitcher with a sealable lid here on Amazon for storing the concentrate. 24 scoops sounds like way too much to me. I guess it depends on how much water you add to the cup to dilute it. I use 8-12 and don't dilute it much depending on how each batch tastes.

I have made a small 4oz cup in it using regular grounds but it is much better for making espresso or cappuccino you will have to play with the amount of coffee you use two scoops is going to be strong I used 1/2 scoop. If you like regular coffee I suggest you look as one of the small one or two cup coffee makers.

Hey P. Radcliffe, Ekobrew filters arrived today7/28. They work Great. Using the included Bunn measure spoon reads 2 cups per 10oz water. I put 2 Flat level full grinds into filter & closed filter lid fine. So, I know it will hold 2 spoonful, I usually make my coffee slight less than 2 spoonful & 8oz water. The beauty part is I shook the full used grinds & filter from the holder in 1 shake. Do not have to rinse holder after each cup. Just rinse holder when I am thru drinking coffee each day. TIP: used grounds + filter dropped out of holder in one try. I think it will drop out faster while still hot instead of letting the grounds dry in the holder. Enjoyed chatting with you.
