So I wrote an email:
So apparently my scoops ratio (amount of coffee used) is causing some discussion.
Starbucks instructs, ”2 tbsp per 6oz water.”
Tbsp = Tablespoon
There is 64 oz of water in the pitcher.
64/6 = 10.67 servings per 1 pitcher.
10.67 * 2 tbsp = 21.34 tbsp of coffee per 1 pitcher
But Dave there’s no tbsp… there’s a 1/3 of a cup scoop!
16 tbsp = 1 cup so 16/3 = 5.33 tbsp per scoop.
21.34/5.33 = 4.00 scoops
So following instructions 4 scoops of coffee per 1 pitcher of water.
-Dave
BTW- if the above conversions don’t highlight the need to move to the metric system nothing will.
Which was followed by a response:
