I bought a new coffee, but my toddler son ruined juice instructions. What the exact measure of coffee should be added? Thank you all.

About 4 teaspoons. Any more and it becomes mud. I got a 1 cupper and I use 2 tspns for a 12oz mug. Any more than that tastes like mud.

I usually make my coffee by the cup or two cups, and I use about a heaping teaspoon per cup. It depends on other things too:
for lighter roasts I minus a little (like columbian)
for darker roasts I add a heaping teaspoon and a bit (makes it more robust)
and it depends also on the grind. For finer grinds, I use just a teaspoon and for courser grinds maybe a tsp and a half.
I love coffee too. Sometimes you have to adjust depending on the brand or blend, so just sample it thru trial and error until you get the best combo!
