Measure twice, cut once

In a discussion this morning, over a cup of coffee, my friend grew tired of me extoling the virtues of applying percision to brewing. Read this before you brew your next pot:

Measure the coffee to be used and measure the volume of your coffee cup. I can't stress how important this is. One six-ounce cup of coffee needs two tablespoons of coffee beans. If that sounds like a lot then you have probably been making less than full strength coffee as I was. For years I was making coffee with less robust flavors because I had too large a cup for the amount of coffee I was using. When I finally did begin measuring, my coffee drinking experience was transformed into the delightful, pleasing experience that remains constant if I follow these simple directions.

Added emphasis.
