What weights have you found for scoops from new and old containers?
I weighed one tablespoon from a half-empty can and got 6 grams.

I've been weighing flour for years. If you fill a cup from a
sifter, it won't have nearly as much flour as one filled by
scooping. Tapping the cup against the table will also make the
flour denser. I didn't think this would be much of a problem with
coffee grounds. They seem springier than flour.

Measuring by weight rather than volume is best, and easily repeatable. I'm
sure the same applies for flour.
