Getting a kitchen scale, they are under $25, is a good investment for consistent coffee doses. I don't weight all the time but I do double check once in awhile or if I am changing from the norm. You can see that basic measurement math doesn't always work for dry goods and if you are using a 1/2 cup and thinking you are using 100g of coffee you are making a pot around half recommended strength.

There are a ton of coffee's to try out there that don't cost what a real Kona costs. Fresh roast is always going to trump a stale Kona and be 1/2 the price delivered. Watch making full pots with fresh roast, it will bloom and overflow the brew basket.
