Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ideal coffee-to-water ratio?

The Golden Ratio is typically 1:15 to 1:18 (coffee to water). Light roasts often use 1:15, while dark roasts work well at 1:17 or 1:18.

What ratio should I use for different brewing methods?

French Press: 1:12-1:15, Pour-over: 1:15-1:17, Espresso: 1:2-1:3, Cold Brew: 1:5-1:8, Drip Coffee: 1:15-1:18, AeroPress: 1:12-1:16

How do I adjust for taste preference?

For stronger coffee, use a lower ratio (more coffee). For weaker coffee, use a higher ratio (more water). Start with 1:16 and adjust to your preference.
