To help you out, I have made the table below. When making 12oz cups of coffee, you can get about 16 cups from a 12-ounce bag of coffee beans. Because milliliters = grams, you can take the number on the scale as you typical cup size. You could also put your mug on a kitchen scale and ‘tare’ it before pouring in your coffee.
To determine how big your morning coffee is, you can make it and pour it in a measuring cup before drinking it. Because some of that is absorbed by the ground coffee and the paper filter, a 355-milliliter cup sounds about right. I personally like a big cup of filter coffee in the morning, and, as said, my go in the morning is the Clever Dripper, for which I use 375 milliliters of water. A 12oz cup of coffee is the same as a ‘tall’ cup (smallest size) at Starbucks. Cup Type: Cold Capacity (Volume): 12 oz Material(s): PET Color(s): Clear. That’s obvious, right? So, to answer the question (how many cups of coffee can you make from a 12-ounce bag of coffee beans), we need to determine how bit a typical cup is.įortunately, the internet can answer almost every question, and therefore we have reliable sources telling us that for about 50% of coffee drinkers in the United States, a 12oz cup is typical ( source). Clear cups are ideal for serving soda, juice, milk shakes and any other cold drinks. The larger the cup, the more coffee beans you need. How many cups of coffee you can make with a 12-ounce bag of coffee beans depends on the size of your cup. Still, the key takeaway here is you get 16 cups of coffee from a 12-ounce bag.
I’m switching between ounces and grams to keep it understandable for both the imperial and the metric system users. Therefore, from a 12-ounce bag, you will get 12/0.74=16 cups of coffee. So if we use 1 unit of coffee for every 17 units of water, we need 355/17=21 grams of coffee. For our first calculation, we use the commonly advised coffee to water ratio of 1:17 and a pretty standard cup size of 12oz or 355ml.ģ55 ml of water is the same as 355 grams of water. To calculate how much coffee you use, we also set the coffee to water ratio and the cup size to a specific value. 100 grams of coffee beans, on the other hand, is exactly the same as 100 grams of ground coffee. A tablespoon of coffee beans is an entirely different amount of coffee than a tablespoon of ground coffee, for instance. Weight is far more accurate in determining how many coffee beans you use, compared to volume. Don’t worry, we are not going to count them. To calculate how many cups of coffee we can get from a 12-ounce bag of coffee, we need to determine how many coffee beans we use for each cup of coffee.
