I use my coffee scoop!
of course, instead of 2 coffee scoops for a pot of coffee, you'd think
I'd just fill the 1/4 measure once. (It's a 4 cup Mr Coffee). But I
am used to using the coffee scoop. Years ago, Chock Full O Nuts
included a scoop in each cans. They stopped about 10-15 years ago. Now
I have a nice long handled scoop that I picked up at Zabars in NYC for
$1 several years ago. I just like it.
