How we worked it out
Updated as you change the numbers.
- Coffee = water ÷ ratio; water = coffee × ratio. 1 mL of water weighs 1 g.
Method and assumptions
A level tablespoon of medium-ground coffee weighs roughly 5 to 6 g; weighing is more reliable. Coffee holds back about twice its weight in water, so you get a little less brewed coffee than the water used.
Questions
