Great Cup of Coffee - How Much Coffee Do You Need?
Do you ever wonder how much coffee is considered a real 'scoop' of coffee? Yes, you can get a cute customized coffee scoop that does the job perfectly...or...just use 1/8 cup of coffee for one perfect scoop. Happy coffee drinkin' to you!
PS. If you're curious, 1/8 cup also equals 2 tablespoons, since there are 16 tablespoons in 1 cup. There, we've had our little coffee lesson of the day! (With a cooking/measurements lesson thrown in, free of charge.)
PS2. I like using one scoop for every two cups of coffee, but obviously if you like very strong coffee you'll want to use even more.
