Depends on the individual's taste. My husband & I prefer strong coffee
(so we almost always make espresso rather than drip coffee).
Any time I use a coffee maker I'm not used to I use more
coffee than I think is probably necessary; I adjust the
coffee amount on the next batch as necessary. Why? To me, weak
coffee is worse than no coffee. The typical "recommended recipe"
I recall is 1 "scoop" per cup + 1 "for the pot." I almost
always use at least this much, but am influenced by the type
of coffee and the particular coffee maker.
