Most coffee brewing sites say to use 2 tablespoons of ground coffee for 6 ounces of water. Since the grind can vary, they also say to use 10 grams of coffee per 6 ounces of water. Going by weight ensures the proper ratio.
If you're making coffee for yourself, of course, the proper ratio is whatever gives you the taste you most enjoy. Start with the 10g-to-6 ounces ratio and adjust as desired. Not all roasts and beans brew exactly alike.
Don't forget to keep your coffee maker clean, and use filtered water. This can have a great effect on the coffee's taste.

needs something stronger than basic dish soap to remove it. Citric acid and
vinegar are both very good products for cleaning coffee pots. Using a ratio of
about one part citric acid to 20 parts water, brew the pot of coffee as you
normally would. After that, do another 2 cycles of 'brewing' using just plain
water. This should clean your coffee pot out nicely. Good luck.
