    The standard scoop per 1 cup of coffee is: 1 level scoop of ground coffee to 6 fl oz of water. Thus, for 6 cups of coffee, that is 6 level scoops to 36 fl oz of water. However, if you want to make the coffee stronger, you can try adding a scoop or two extra. If using mugs, change to 1 â…“ level scoops per mug of coffee to 8 fl oz water, thus 6 mugs would require 8 level scoops to 48 fl oz of water.

  • Question
    Can we substitute water for milk if we want it to be creamy (without cream)?

    You can if you're using a strainer, filter, saucepan, or instant coffee. However, milk is nearly impossible to clean out of a French press - if you want milk in your French press coffee, make it with water and then add milk once you've poured it. (Milk is also a pain to clean out of a kettle, so heat it in a saucepan or the microwave instead.)
