What Is the Coffee Ratio?
The coffee ratio is the balance between the amount of coffee used and the amount of water. The right ratio determines the strength and flavor of the coffee.
How is it calculated?
How to Calculate?
Water = coffee × ratio (a common ratio is 1:15 to 1:17)
- Enter the amount of coffee and your preferred ratio.
- The required amount of water is found.
For example, 20 g of coffee at a 1:16 ratio: 320 g of water.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do for stronger coffee?
By lowering the ratio (for example 1:14) you use more coffee for the same water, so the strength increases.
