I use 4 heaping tablespoons for 8 cups. The standard is below. Where the fuck they came up with that who knows.

"3.1 Coffee to Water Ratio for Cupping
When cupping, the ratio of 8.25 grams (whole bean) coffee (± 0.25 grams), to 5.07 fluid ounces (150 ml) water shall be used. When adjusting due to vessel size, a ratio of 1.63 grams (whole bean) coffer per 1 fluid ounce of water (or 0.055g coffee per 1 ml water) shall be used."

Well it says use 2 tbsp per cup, but that seems excessive.

I use a real tablespoon (like for eating, not measuring) and use 1 slightly heaping per cup on the carafe.

Simple math. 708 stone per 419 hogshead.

Typically for a pour over you’d use 25g for 400g water.  Recover about 330mL coffee

I fill to the line, a little less than a scoop. So however much that is.

I have a particular scoop I picked out via trial & error. Didn't know exactly how many beans that was so I measured. It throws about 13.5 grams of beans.

Grind that and pour over 10 ounces of water.

Correct.
Most people don't know that in 'Coffee Land' one cup is actually 6 oz not 8.
So when people make coffee using grounds per cup and complain that it is weak, it's because they are using 8 oz instead of six for the water calculations.

Except on my coffee maker where 5 ounces is a cup for some reason.
Can't trust China to get ANYTHING correct.... 

I think it was made somewhere in Euro land.

Either way, I use a 1/2 cup of ground coffee per carafe.

For the scale challenged.  I just did a quick test using coffee I ground for the wife this morning (that she didn't use, sigh)

A heaping tablespoon was right at 8 grams.

A heaping tablespoon with a little shake to not dump any on the counter was about 7 grams.

A level tablespoon was 4.2 grams.

Oddly, half of this.  Grinder is set about three and a half.  Water is filled to the four cup line.  Makes enough to fill my large insulated cup with just the dregs left over.

52 g coffee to 850 g water in my drip.

26 : 425 (same ratio) for chemex and Beehouse brews.

AeroPress I move around a bit and haven’t settled on a Recipe. Mostly brew americano/bypass style though.

I use a Technivorm MoccaMaster, which has a 1 liter tank, so that's easy to measure. My scale can do grams or ounces, but grams are just easier to deal with.

1.587 oz of coffee to 4.16 cups. That's sooo much easier.

I use the scoop that comes with an Aeropress, and that thing takes a whole lot of coffee grounds to make a cup of coffee.

2.5 tablespoons or thereabouts.

8 oz is a cup of water.  Unless you make coffee makers, then for some reason cups are 6 ounces of water.  Unless you are European, then you make coffee makers where a cup is 5 ounces of water.

I unearthed an ancient Minoan ramekin on an archaeological dig back in 1993. I use one concave serving, along with a flagon of water. I have found it to be the only way to properly measure coffee. The Minoans were the original brewmasters.

Using too little coffee makes it bitter because more is extracted from the small amount of coffee by the relatively large amount of water.
