Not sure how many scoops of coffee to use? This chart converts the number of cups into tablespoons and grams of ground coffee, based on the standard ratio.
| Cups (6 oz) | Coffee (tbsp) | Coffee (grams) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 cup | 2 tbsp | 11 g |
| 2 cups | 4 tbsp | 21 g |
| 4 cups | 8 tbsp | 42 g |
| 6 cups | 12 tbsp | 64 g |
| 8 cups | 16 tbsp | 85 g |
| 10 cups | 20 tbsp | 106 g |
| 12 cups | 24 tbsp | 127 g |
One scoop equals two tablespoons. A standard coffee scoop holds about 2 tablespoons, or roughly 10 to 11 g. A coffee maker cup is 6 oz, not the 8 oz measuring cup, so a 12-cup pot uses about 24 tablespoons.
