Manufacturer recommendations are a joke.

    So I was looking at a bag of coffee today (18 oz. (510 g) bag of Starbucks house blend) and I'm reading the back.

    It says 2 Tbsps (10g) per 6 oz. water. And a cup is 8 oz.

    A standard drip coffee maker carafe can hold 12 8-oz cups of coffee. That's 96 oz.

    So going by their recommendation, you'd need 16 Tbps per pot.

    Who in their right mind would put 16 Tbps into the basket?

    Good grief!

    Well, isn't 2 teaspoons equal to 10g?
    1 tablespoon is 15g.

    Water per volume, since teaspoon and tablespoon are volume size.

    My 2 cents...
