Coffee Tea

For one cappuccino, use 18–20 g coffee beans for a double-shot base; 8–10 g suits a single-shot cappuccino.

A large iced coffee usually takes 4–6 flavor pumps; big brands use different defaults, so match sweetness to size and ask for adjustments by pump count.

One espresso “single” is traditionally 7 grams of ground coffee; most cafés now use 18–20 grams for a double shot.

Start at 14–16 g in a 51 mm double basket, aiming for a 1:2 brew ratio; adjust to 12–14 g for darker roasts and 16–18 g for light roasts.

For drip coffee, use 9–11 grams of beans per 6-oz cup (about 55 g/L), then tune toward 1:15 for stronger or 1:17 for milder brews.

A single uses 7–9 g; a modern double uses 16–20 g of coffee beans, usually at a 1:2 ratio (e.g., 18 g in yields ~36 g out).

For espresso, a classic single uses ~7–9 g of ground coffee, while most modern doubles use ~18–20 g; dose varies by basket and a 1:1.5–1:2.5 ratio.

Use 8–10 level 2-tbsp scoops for 10 machine cups (50–60 fl oz), about 90 g of coffee; adjust by taste and cup size.

Use 14–18 grams of coffee for a single AeroPress, adjusting by ratio and taste.

Most K-Cup coffee pods hold about 9–12 grams of ground coffee, with some bold blends near 14 grams depending on brand and roast.
