One level coffee scoop is 16 oz., or 2 cups.I have a coffee POT, not my wife's, not a group, or company pot,- MY POT-. I am a generous person so most any one may share my Coffee. BUT, IT IS MY COFFEE FROM MY POT you drink it the way I made it!!! Problem solved!
I like 1full coffee scoop for each 5 cups. Just short of the bitter taste.
Your coffee must be mild and watery.
If you want your coffee to taste good, you have to use good coffee and then it won't be bitter.
