How to use this calculator
Pick your brew method to load a sensible starting ratio, then adjust the slider to taste — lower numbers (like 1:14) make a stronger cup, higher numbers (like 1:17) make a lighter one. Weigh your water and your coffee on a kitchen scale for the most accurate results; see our full explanation of brewing ratios for the reasoning behind each range.
