How Many Beans Should I Grind For One Cup Of Coffee?

15–18g of coffee makes a good one cup because the 1:15–1:17 coffee to water ratio yields balanced extraction.

That dose equals roughly 80–120 beans because individual bean weight varies by variety, roast and moisture.

For consistent results, measure by weight rather than counting beans or using tablespoons because weight stays constant across grind size and bean density.
