Useful tips

  • Useful when you want to find beans needed for 300 ml water; adjust inputs to compare outcomes.
  • Prefer product labels, recipe notes, and equipment markings when available.
  • When unsure, start with a smaller or shorter estimate and adjust from the actual result.

Formula

Water ml = beans g × ratio. Beans g = water ml ÷ ratio. In cups mode, water ml = cups × ml per cup.

Notes

  • This tool does not estimate brewed yield, bloom water, or method-specific recommendations.
  • Beans, grind, water temperature, and equipment change taste.
  • Use results as a starting ratio and adjust to preference.
