Welcome to Coffee SE, please feel free to take the [tour](http://coffee.stackexchange.com/tour). Your question is not clear to me. Do you ask this question for the french press or for espresso? IS it related to the grinder or with the brewing process itself?

I meant a drip coffee maker. I want to know the ratio of coffee bean to water like 1 tablespoon to 1 cup of water. Thanks.
