Coffee Strength Ratio Calculator is an easy-to-use tool that lets you calculate precise amounts of ground coffee and water to prepare one standard cup of coffee. Simply specify the brewing method and how strong you want your coffee: mild, medium, or rocket fuel strong (espresso, including ristretto). The calculator will then recommend the ideal ratio and the amount of ground coffee and water required to achieve your desired coffee strength.

The exact coffee-to-water ratio that results in the perfect cup depends on many factors – from the type of beans to the roasting profile and how fresh they are, to the brewing method and water temperature. The ratio is a key factor in the extraction process, ensuring that the full spectrum of desirable flavors is released from the grounds and into your cup.

For example, if your coffee tastes bitter or woody it may indicate that too much of the solubles were over-extracted from the grounds and that some essential flavor was lost. On the other hand, if your coffee tastes too weak and watery, it could be a sign that not enough of the solubles were extracted from the grounds.

To ensure the best results, we recommend using a scale that measures in grams and a measuring cup or spoon that measures by volume. This will help you avoid over-grinding the beans or under-grinding them, resulting in unevenly distributed brews that can affect the taste and aroma of your final cup of coffee.
