CFrance - I measure my Espresso Decaf just like I would any other coffee. I think the general rule of thumb is 1 tablespoon of coffee to 1 8 oz cup. You would have to "play" if it is too strong for you or just add some nice half and half. I will share with you that most people cut down on the amount of coffee they use if is too strong but that is the wrong thing to do. If you don't use enough coffee, the brewing process will extract the coffee flavor first and then will start extracting the leftover oils which makes the coffee bitter. If anything use more coffee to get a smoother cup. I will say I do grind my own beans. I'd do this for whatever coffee I use. I like the freshness of the coffee this way. But, I also have to admit I am a coffee snob. LOL
