Get a 1/3 cup measuring cup from your local dollar store. Two scoops will land you at almost exactly 10 tbsp.

No one should be expected to count all the way to 10 during that shitty period between waking and caffeine!! 2 is much more manageable.

I use a 1\4 cup just because my brain likes knowing it's exactly 4 tablespoons.

1\4 cup = 4 tablespoons, so 2 1\2 scoops is your 10 cup carafe, and one rounded scoop is a half pot (5).
