Ground Coffee per Cup

Two tablespoons per 6 oz cup is awfully strong, unless you really, really want to make yourself a brutal, bitter, caffeine-monster of a drink.

If there are 15 grams to a (flat) tablespoon, for instance, and the SCAA standard is 10 grams per 6 oz drink, then a typical mug of coffee (i.e. 12 oz) will need 20 grams of grounds -- or one heaping tablespoon of ground coffee.

That's for drip-brewed coffee, too. From my experience filterless brewing methods (French Press, Vacuum Syphon, Percolators etc.) require even less grounds per cup.
