Coffee brewing ratios refer to the amount of coffee and water used in relation to each other when brewing coffee. The proper brewing ratio depends on personal taste, but a common ratio for brewing coffee is 1:16, meaning 1 gram of coffee for every 16 grams of water. This ratio produces a balanced cup of coffee with a strong flavor and good body.
Other common brewing ratios include:
1:15 - This ratio produces a stronger cup of coffee with more intense flavors.
1:17 - This ratio produces a lighter cup of coffee with more subtle flavors.
1:18 - This ratio produces an even lighter cup of coffee with very subtle flavors.
It's important to note that the brewing ratio is only one factor that affects the flavor of the coffee. Other factors include the type of beans, the roast level, the brewing method, and the water quality. Experimenting with different brewing ratios can help you find the perfect balance of flavor and strength for your taste.
