With the exception of espresso, the proper ratio of coffee to water is 2 tablespoons per six ounces of water no matter what method you use. Keeping the ratio consistent is very important for consistent coffee, so, one of the best investments you can make is to buy a standard 2tbs coffee scoop like the ones pictured above. Stick to the ratio no matter how much coffee you are brewing. You have a big, American 12 oz coffee mug? That's 4 tablespoons of ground coffee, so, two level scoops will give you the perfect amount of coffee for it every time.
If you are like me, your house is filled with 8 ounce coffee cups, not 6 ounce cups. If I just want to make one cup of coffee, I just scoop my coffee a little higher than level. This ratio is really intended for GROUND coffee, but, I only grind as much coffee as I am going to need at any one time, so, I usually measure the whole bean coffee into the grinder. I think it tastes just fine.
