Coffee Ratio Calculator
Calculate coffee or water from a desired brew ratio.
Results update as you type. Units are grams unless stated otherwise.
How to use this calculator
Enter your own measurements in the labeled fields. The result is recalculated immediately and is intended as a planning aid for real home brewing.
How to interpret the result
A brew ratio describes water added, not final beverage yield. The grounds retain some water.
Record the result alongside your actual brew and adjust after tasting. Coffee beans, grind distribution, water and brewer design can all change the outcome even when two recipes use identical numbers.
Questions about this tool
Is this a guaranteed perfect recipe?
No. The tool performs arithmetic or offers a starting structure. It cannot measure extraction or taste your coffee.
Can I use a different coffee or brewer?
Yes. Treat the quantities as a starting point and tune grind, water and pouring for your setup.
