I have to agree with John Steel, my percolator holds 12 or 15 cups
according to the label (1,2 litres) which would require 24 or 30 scoops
of coffee. I normally use 2 scoops. these Pete's coffee directions are I
think for an espresso machine.

If it were water, 2 teaspoons would be close to 10 g. However, coffee
grinds have a much lower bulk density than water. Peet's is likely
close on 2 T = 10 g. However, the ratio also depends on how you brew
the coffee (and personal preference). Most people use drip machines,
and that is way too much unless you like coffee so strong that you can
stand the spoon up in it. In a drip machine, as little as half that
may suffice.
For other ways of brewing coffee, 10 g/150 mL may be appropriate.

*Subject:* [USMA:54846] Feedback Concern: Coffee and Tea questions
Hi All,
I wanted to share a response my spouse and I received from Peet's
Coffee and Tea.
We brought a bag of ground coffee. When we were going to perculate
some, we read the directions and I thought it was asking for to much
ground coffee since I know 2 teaspoons are 10g. So I wrote to customer
service and got this reply:
Feedback Concern: Coffee and Tea questions.
Feedback or question: The instructions on the label of Espresso Forte
read that we should measure 2 TBSP (10 g) per 6 oz of water. However,
10 g equals 2 tsp. So, it seems to us that you're labeling
instructions are incorrect. So, we measured 12 tsp for our percolator
which holds 4 1/2 8 oz cups.

Hi Sarah and Edward,
Thanks for your email. In checking the website for "The Basics-Coffee
FAQ", here is what they say about measuring coffee:
A standard "cup" of coffee uses six ounces (177 ml) of water. The
SCAA's standard measure of ground coffee for this quantity of wateer
is 10 grams (+/- 1 gram) or slightly over a third of an ounce (or,
simply, two tablespoons).
I believe measurement depends on the items being weighed.
We appreciate your business and your time in contacting us, and let me
know what additional comments you have.
Warmest regards,
Stephany | Customer Service Specialist | Peet's Coffee & Tea
