I’ve been collecting coffee\/water ratios and experimenting on my own and I’ve decided that fifteen parts of water to one part of coffee is just about right for me, using a plain pour over method. \u00a0Coffee recipes — that is, the proportion of coffee to water — are best expressed in weight not volume.<\/p>\n

Here’s the data, all in grams:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
water<\/strong><\/td>\ncoffee<\/strong><\/td>\nratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
390<\/td>\n24<\/td>\n16.3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
400<\/td>\n25<\/td>\n16.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
311<\/td>\n21<\/td>\n14.8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
350<\/td>\n24<\/td>\n14.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
500<\/td>\n36<\/td>\n13.9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

That averages out to 1:15.1, so here’s a table with water volumes in the first column and three strengths, yielding grams of coffee at the intersection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\nbolder<\/strong><\/td>\nideal<\/strong><\/td>\nlighter<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

You effectively need about 400 grams of water for a 12 oz. cup of coffee. \u00a0My wife and I split 500 grams in the morning, although at the 14:1 ratio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
