how much coffee is used in a four cup coffee maker?

its is a 1 scoop per 2 cups. ratio so in that size of maker, you will use two good scoops (tablespoons) for the 4 cup maker.

Okay, as you can see there are many different answers to this question. I guess I would start by asking what part of the country you live in. Out east, Mass., NY, Maine, NH area, they like it strong approx 1/4 cup for 4 cups of coffee, in the upper mid-west, they like it is somewhat weaker, 1/4 cup minus a tablespoon. Deep south, they again like a stronger cup of coffee, 1/4 plus appx a tablespoon. But, I happen to think that coffee should taste like coffee, start with 1/4 cup and adjust up or down from there.

In my four cup maker...I used 1 tablespoon not packed down. This made it not to heavy or to light. I only use Dunkin coffee so it may vary on the roast you get with other brands.

Try 2 Tablespoons per cup. Then again on the back of your coffee can there would be directions.

You should use one tablespoon of coffee for every six ounces of water you'll use.

depends on how you like it. Start with six tablespoons and work from there.
