Ann - one heaping scoop is fine. Fill water close to top and stir for 10 seconds. Let your arm weight do the plunging - no need to push hard. Add water after to taste. Aeropress is an espresso maker, so it makes a strong cup if sipped straight. Still smoother than a machine. The biggest thing will be beans (please use fresh - within 7 days of roasting for best taste) and grinder. You want a consistent grind. If you find it tough to plunge, try courser grounds til you get it the way you like it. It generally takes me 20 seconds for a plunge, BTW.
All of this is pure Opinion based on years of daily use. I've worn out several presses at this point, but it's dark up here in the winter months.
