Me: [holding up a Ziploc bag partially full of coffee grounds] "I hope this will be enough for a whole pot of coffee."
My aunt: "Good heavens! I should hope so! I'd only use a scoop, maybe a scoop and a half for 12 cups!" 
Me: "Oh...then you'd better not watch."
[I calmly put in 9 scoops of coffee grounds.]
No wonder they don't like my coffee, even when I make it "weak". It's still about 4x as strong as they drink it.
