How do you measure your ground coffee in the studios?

[WolfpackFan]

Well, I didn't ask where to buy them, I already knew that. I asked whether the studios supplied them and whether folks bring their own. But thanks.

Sorry, for the sarcastic reply - I just couldn't resist . It just seemed like such a simple answer.

Normally you use 2 TableSpoons per "Cup" of water (which is 6oz not 8.)

Which means 10 "cups" is 1.25 cups of grounds. Disney stocks a 1/4 cup measure in the kitchen supplies. So 5x Quarter measure cup of grounds works.

The other hint is make a full pot of coffee. The machines are designed to operate optimally with a full load of grounds. A smaller amount makes bitter coffee.

Life is an Adventure , I just guess until it "looks right" and it usually turns out OK.

I have my filters and my scoop in my owners locker. I just bring my fresh ground coffee with me.

With the coffee scoop in our Owner's Locker right after it comes out of the coffee grinder in our Owner's Locker!

Ditto these for me! I always measure and bought a spare to leave in my OL.

Measure? You're supposed to measure? DH says I make the worst coffee, maybe that's why. So that I can't screw up, we bring the filter-packs, that are pre-measured. If you forget, they're always prominently displayed in any grocery store on the way to WDW (ever notice how there's always a prominent display of those?) But I like the idea of buying a Mickey coffee-measuring scoop.

I make OK coffee - my husband makes really good coffee - we eyeball it.

Then again, I eyeball everything when I cook (I do measure when I bake - baking is chemistry).

We use one heaping tablespoon per 6ox cup but to each his own. Oh, and we use bottled water. I just know that the Disney coffee doesn't do it for me. The stuff at the mug refill station has a funny aftertaste and the stuff in the room is too weak.
