Understanding the Results

The coffee-to-water ratio is a crucial factor in brewing coffee. A common ratio for French press is 1:15 to 1:17 (1 gram of coffee per 15-17 grams of water). This calculator helps you determine the ratio for your specific brew.

The normalized ratio (1: X) is another way to express the same information, where X represents the amount of water per gram of coffee. For example, a normalized ratio of 1:16 means you are using 16 grams of water per gram of coffee.

Optimal Ratios for French Press

For a bold and full-bodied coffee, a ratio of 1:15 to 1:16 is recommended. For a lighter and more delicate coffee, a ratio of 1:17 to 1:18 is preferable.
