coffee to water ratio calculator
Coffee Ratio Calculator
Find a repeatable coffee dose for pour-over, filter or another weight-based brew.
How it works
Coffee dose = water weight ÷ ratio number. A 1:16 recipe uses one gram of coffee for every sixteen grams of water.
Three practical tips
- Weigh both coffee and water for repeatability.
- Adjust grind and brew time alongside ratio.
- Taste first; the preferred ratio is personal.
What is a good starting coffee ratio?
Many filter recipes start near 1:15 to 1:17. Treat that as an experiment, not a rule.
