Dear Heloise: I got tired of measuring 12 scoops of coffee grounds each morning to brew our daily pot of coffee. One morning, I measured the 12 scoops into a 1-cup measure and found a perfect 2/3 cup.

If you’re new to the AeroPress, this set is the place to start. It includes everything you need to get brewing: a precision coffee measuring scoop, a funnel for keeping counters clear of coffee ...

I tried scooping out coffee the old way and then measured the results. The average was around 120 grams, which made pretty good coffee—but there could be a 20-30 gram swing.
