Stop Guessing Your Coffee Ratio: The Exact Measurements You Need.

We have all been there: half-awake, haphazardly scooping grounds into the filter, hoping for the best. Stop settling for bitter or watered-down morning brews! The secret to cafe-quality drip coffee does not require a fancy scale—just a tablespoon and the right ratio.

Here is your ultimate cheat sheet for standard medium-grind coffee:

• 6oz cup: 2 Tablespoons

• 8oz cup: 2 Tablespoons + 2 Teaspoons

• 12oz cup: 4 Tablespoons

• 16oz cup: 5 Tablespoons + 1 Teaspoon

The "Standard Cup" Myth

Did you know? A "cup" line on your coffee maker reservoir is usually only 5oz, not a standard 8oz measuring cup. That is the number one reason your coffee accidentally comes out weak!

Why the Bean Matters

Even the perfect ratio cannot save stale, grocery-store coffee. For the absolute best drip, you need a medium grind and fresh beans. That is why Latitude 23 Coffee is always roasted-on-demand, delivering peak flavor directly to your door.

3 Hacks for Better Drip Coffee:

1. Use filtered water: Your coffee is 98% water. Make sure it tastes good!

2. Rinse your filter: Wet the paper filter with hot water before adding grounds to wash away that papery taste.

3. Ditch the hot plate: Do not let your coffee scorch for hours. Transfer it to a thermal carafe or freeze the leftovers for iced coffee cubes.
