A Single-Serve vs. a Full-Pot?

 

If you are making a pot of coffee, you'll want to use more coffee grounds than if you are making one cup. The general rule is 1 tablespoon of ground coffee for every 6 ounces of water, but keep in mind that this doesn't take into account how strong you like your coffee.

 

If you are making a single cup, you will want to use less grounds. The general rule is 1 tablespoon of ground coffee for every 4 ounces of water.
