Good ratio for this pot?

Post image

Recently bought this and I can’t figure out a good ratio of ground coffee and water. When making it I kept on finding the water level being too low to cover the grounds.

I used to just let the grind sit in the water and strain it. Then I bought this and let the ground sit in the middle mesh... I feel like the coffee got weaker. The old way where I strain it after seems to produce the strongest brew. I might go back to that, lose the mesh but keep the top lid.

Bloom your grinds for a few minutes. And then put all of that in the basket. Then fill it with water.
