-- it will resolve I am sure... but what month did they stop putting scoops in with a bag of coffee?

Well, can you? If not, try e-Bay.

The ones I buy don't come with them.

So now I will wash it and return it.

I'm now trying to think how long it has been since I saw a scoop come with a can of coffee. My brand switched from the metal cans to a dumb cardboard thing about 4-5 years ago. These go straight into the landfill, unlike the old cans which have a million and one possible uses when the coffee ran out.

I know the scoops were there when I was a teenager, I don't recall seeing them at all when I switched from a morning Coke to making coffee, in my late 20's.

Status: offline 		depends on the type of coffee you buy.

If you buy the kind in the cans then they almost always come with scoops.

If you buy the type in the bags or gourmet coffee then you won't find a scoop.

I never buy the stuff in the cans because I don't use it up fast enough before it starts to go rancid plus I simply don't like canned coffee.

No.  She sent the coffee over a month ago.  That is 4 weeks full of garbage to look thru- much of which is not here anymore.  Not counting if if I may have threw it into recycling mess.

[hijack]Just out of curiosity, how many scoops (tablespoons) do you people use to make coffee? I'm just wondering, cuz I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to make mine and I'm wondering if maybe my coffee is way stronger than everyone elses....[/hijack]

Status: offline 		I got my coffee scoops at Dollar tree....it's actually 1/8 of a cup.

Winnie, I use three scoops for 12 cups of coffee.....everyone says I make a great pot of coffee, so I must be diong something right.  It makes a reasonably strong pot....you can't see thru it when it's done.

I'm not a coffee drinker, I prefer tea, but I could sit and sniff coffee all day!  There's a Maxwell house plant here in J'ville, and when they are roasting the beans, you can smell it all over the city!  And you can definitely tell when they are doing the dark roast....too bad you couldn't get caffeine thru the air!

Status: offline 		i use a level teaspoon of grounds per ounce of water, in a French press. (So, roughly 8 tsp per cup water). This makes a very strong coffee, but i add cold water to cool it down to drinkable temperature. So, really, it's about 3/4 tsp per ounce of water.

Status: offline 		at work we do 4-5 scoops per 10 cups of coffee.

At home I have a percolator which makes 4 cups of coffee and I use 3-4 scoops. I usually buy Green Mountain Ethiopian Yergachaffe coffee.

I've always wondered this, too, and every time I ask, I never remember the answer. 

I use about 1/4 cup for about an 8 cup pot-full.  1/2 cup for a full pot.  That's when it's pre-ground.  But typically I buy whole beans (no scoop) and eyeball them when I put them in the coffee grinder. 

I never did know what to do with those scoops, lol.

Thanks! I'm not much of a coffee drinker either...but using your recipe my coffee is probably a shy bit weaker than it should be :)

thanks everyone who answered my question!
