Hello Bob, I have the Bialetti 3-cupper Moka Pot myself. I generally place a heaping tsp in the filter and tap the side to settle the grounds. I repeat this with a second heaping tsp and tap the side. I place a third tsp on top (that is slightly rounded), tap, and clean off the edge of the filter.

The filter is now full of grounds and is slightly rounded on top. I've emptied the filter on a couple of occasions and I get approximately 21 grams.

I've been using Cafe La Llave (340g) and Cafe Bustelo (282g) at this time. This gives me approximately 16 (La Llave) and 13.5 (Bustelo) servings per can.

I have an 8oz "Flames Coffee Shop & Bakery" coffee cup, and the 3 cupper will fill this cup a solid 1/3 full (at least)

* Maybe Dan (Mr. Moo) can add a little more info here...
