[USMA:54846] Feedback Concern: Coffee and Tea questions

Hi All, I wanted to share a response my spouse and I received from Peet's Coffee and Tea. We brought a bag of ground coffee. When we were going to perculate some, we read the directions and I thought it was asking for to much ground coffee since I know 2 teaspoons are 10g. So I wrote to customer
