Small variation isn't so bad if you are making coffee in a coffee pot. I use a pour-over though. Over-filling a scoop with a single serving means you get quite a different flavor - stronger than intended. In the basket of the coffee pot, it is just a tiny bit more as it is spread out over 8-10 cups of coffee. I have a burr grinder that automatically measures the beans out, however, so I get the same amount with the same grind each time (Unless I change settings).
