If you’re wondering how many beans you need for a great cup of coffee, the answer is probably closer to you than you think. Depending on the grind and brewing method, the rule of thumb is two tablespoons of coffee per six ounces of water. So, if you’re making a pot of coffee for four people, you’ll need about a cup of beans.<\/p>\n

There is no definitive answer to this question as the amount of beans needed for coffee will vary depending on the strength of the coffee required, the type of bean being used, and the coffee brewing method being employed. However, as a general rule of thumb, it is generally recommended that around 60-70 grams (2-2.5 ounces) of coffee beans be used for every 1 litre (4 cups) of coffee being brewed.<\/p>\n

An industry standard dose for a single shot of coffee is 7 grams per cup. That’s around 56 coffee beans (depending on many factors of course). For a 1kg bag of coffee beans, you should expect to get around 120-140 cups of coffee.<\/p>\n
