How to measure
A better everyday brew. Use grams for consistency. Use cups and spoons for convenience.
Water: 1 US cup = 236.6 mL; 1 US tablespoon = 14.8 mL; 1 g water ≈ 1 mL. Ground coffee: 1 level US tablespoon ≈ 5 g, so 1 US cup of grounds ≈ 80 g. Grind size, roast and packing change the weight. Use level spoons and treat every household measure as a starting point.
A FEW USEFUL DETAILS
Water amounts are inputs; finished drink volume will be lower. For moka pots, follow the brewer's fill level and basket capacity; never tamp the grounds. Cold brew retains the 12-hour steep; strain, then dilute to taste if desired. Espresso volume varies with crema, so weigh its yield rather than measuring it in cups.
Note: Conversions use 5 g per level tablespoon.
