On average, there are 4-6 fluid ounces in a cup of coffee, by American standards. Coffee carafes are usually calibrated using 4-6oz cups. However, most people drink their coffee from bigger cups with over 50 percent of American coffee lovers preferring 12-16oz mugs.
The standard coffee cup sizes range from 8 oz to 10 oz and are ideal for drip coffee. Another reason why size is important is brewing the correct quantity. You’ll need to balance the ratio of coffee to water to get the best strength for your cup or mug. Use too little coffee and your brew in a mug will be weak and disappointing.
To brew a 12-cup pot of coffee at average strength, use 108 grams of coffee and 60 ounces (7 1/2 measuring cups) of water. That’s about 12 level scoops of coffee, or 24 level tablespoons. To make the coffee strong, use 122 grams of coffee (13 3/4 scoops or 27 1/2 tablespoons). To make it mild, use 95 grams (10 2/3 scoops or 21 1/3 tablespoons).
