Wondering how much coffee grounds for 12 cups of brewed coffee? A standard 12-cup coffee maker uses 5-ounce 'cups' (about 150 ml each), which totals roughly 60 fluid ounces or 1.8 liters of water. At the SCA-recommended Golden Ratio of 1:17, that means about 106 grams of coffee (around 12 level tablespoons or 7 standard 2-tablespoon scoops). This calculator scales that math to any pot size, lets you dial in mild, medium, or strong, and adapts to drip, French press, pour-over, or cold brew so the cup you pour actually matches what you wanted.
