In summary, the general rule of thumb for coffee grounds is one to two tablespoons for every six ounces of water, but it can be adjusted to personal preference. The best type of coffee is subjective and can be found through experimentation. For the perfect cup, grind coffee beans right before brewing with a medium-fine grind. The ideal water temperature for brewing is between 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit, and the optimal steeping time is 4-6 minutes for the perfect balance of flavor and caffeine.
