How many have I added?

You should check out the finger method. You’ll never have to worry about having the correct ratios again.
That’s how I learned and it’s fantastic when my kids “help”. I never know whether we did 4 or 6 cups (we aim for 5) because they keep doing little half scoops. So I guess and use the finger method after rinsing the rice. Perfect rice every time.

kitchen scale is like 15 bucks
And it makes everything take twice as long. Just leave the right size scoop in the can (don’t drink coffee, so idk how much, maybe 1/4 cup?) and you don’t need to find anything, just do the one or two scoops.

I mean if you want bitter coffee.
It is the only way to be sure you have enough.

Well you making coffee from somewhere.
Most people are excited to leave work.
I’m not.

Folger’s tastes like jail coffee, which tracks with the “coffee is coffee” philosophy
Military, jail - what’s the difference?

there’s no way in hell I’m grinding beans at 6am.
You act like you have to go outside and break boulder-sized beans apart with a pickaxe, lol. It’s the exact same number of scoops, you just put whole beans in your grinder first, then your coffee maker. Literally takes about 5 seconds longer.
To be clear, there’s nothing wrong with liking cheaper coffee, and I don’t think the majority of us need or could tell the difference from using the absolute best beans and equipment to enjoy it… BUT, grinding your beans fresh gives a huge improvement to aroma and taste, such that I’m still amazed at the coffee I’m sipping out of my thermos late in the day. And it goes without saying that it improves every morning for me, personally. Most people discover a giant improvement, even using the exact same brand and type of coffee, only whole-bean. Very little experimentation is required to make amazing coffee that tastes perfect to you. Good luck if you try it…
I was a big coffee guy for awhile for the taste, now I’m really just in it for the caffeine. Aeropress + whatever’s on sale is good enough for me

My old work had it posted that we were to use four scoops per pot of coffee.
They did not say level scoops.
Requirements unclear, scoop mountain.

Get yourself a tally counter (click counter, hand counter, whatever). As an added bonus, it’s also a great fidget toy!
Just don’t fidget while you’re counting your scoops. “Wait was that really 3 scoops or did I just get bored and start clicking for fun? Nah surely I couldn’t have been THAT ADHD. No. I’d remember if I did that right? Maybe I’d better try to remember how many scoops to be sure, now, how many scoops was that?”

More like if you want coffee flavored coffee. Coffee is bitter.

I need to use mine more, but I always want to only use one vessel, so if I’m going to make something I start throwing in an item and then move to the next item and forget where I’m at. Then I’m like shoot I never weighed the vessel, so I haven’t a clue how to figure it out short of pouring it all into another vessel I’ve measured. So I just take my best guess at how many units I’ve added
Put the vessel on the balance and tare every time you finish including an ingredient. Always start on zero, don’t bother with the math.

good coffee isnt really bitter though (shade grown coffee for the win!)

There are ways to influence the bitterness of the coffee, I personally prefer cold brew, but there is an inherent bitterness to coffee regardless when made with decent strength. Some people be making some watery-ass coffee

I was in military for over 23 years and coffee is coffee to me. Yes, some are tastier than others but at end of day I am just looking for the caffeine. Taste is an after thought when you get woken up at 2am for operations. I also drink it black.
Army coffee is special. Part of its effectiveness in waking you up is the shockingly bad taste, which you maximize by drinking it black. It’s better when it’s bad, because you’re gonna drink it anyway.
You want wimpy good-tasting coffee, go join the Air Force.

My in-laws always use a half scoop per cup, no thank you. Cardboard flavoured water.
To be fair though I’m spoiled with single origin, roasted to order beans

One pays you and sets you up for a life afterward, the other takes away your dignity and everything you had put together for your life.
