How much coffee do I add to a Mr. Coffee 8-9 cup Coffee Pot?
The coffee pot is numbered to twelve on it and is a newer kind.
Answers:
The general rule that Mr Coffee recommends is 1 scoop (2 tablespoons) per 2 cups (6 oz.). This is a tried and true formula and it always works. If you want to adjust from there add a little more or less as needed. Your Mr. Coffee decanter and water pot are marked with 6 oz. cup marks. So 8 cups is 4 scoops and 9 cups is 4 1/2 scoops. Easy, eh?
I put four heaping tablespoons or almost half a cup
Well, it depends on what type of scoop you are using. Normal strength coffee would call for 1/2 cup for an eight-cup pot. A "coffee scoop" is equal to two tablespoons, so you would use four of those. A regular tablespoon would call for eight. It all equals 1/2 cup! There may be an adjustment on your machine as well, so watch for that. Good luck!
I put about one heaping tablespoon per cup that I am going to make
