Coffee Tea

A standard single espresso shot is about 1 fl oz (30 ml), while a double shot is roughly 2 fl oz (60 ml) of brewed espresso.

Most pregnant adults can have about one to two single espressos a day, as long as total caffeine from all sources stays near or below 200 mg.

One pound of coffee yields about 22–32 espresso shots, depending on your dose per shot, grinder waste, and dialing-in habits.

A medium iced coffee at Dunkin’ typically gets 3 flavor-shot pumps; Starbucks uses syrups, not “shots,” with about 4 pumps in a grande iced coffee.

For a 12 oz French press, use 20–24 grams of coffee (1:17 to 1:15 ratio) to match standard brew strength.

For a 12-cup drip pot (5-oz cups), use about 100–120 grams of coffee; a balanced 1:17 ratio needs ~104 g, roughly 20 level tablespoons.

For 12 coffee maker “cups,” use about 95–100 grams of coffee beans; for 12 eight-ounce mugs, plan roughly 150–160 grams.

For a 24 oz french press, use 42–47 grams of coffee (1:17–1:15); the SCA baseline of 55 g/L lands near 39 grams for a lighter cup.

Use 16 individual tea bags per gallon for classic strength; 4 family-size or 1 gallon bag brew the same yield.

Use 55–60 grams per liter for French press—about 28–30 g for 500 ml—then adjust strength to taste.
