So now you need a weighing scale just to brew your coffee? What happens if you don't have any scale? How about teaspoon vs cup measurement? How many teaspoons for every cup of coffee?
Wow, I was looking for a better understanding of coffee ratio's and extractions and how they effect the flavour notes, this is perfect. Thanks well done and appreciated.
Haha yea, that's one way to put it! Grabbing the YT coffee torch from giants and running forwards :D Just curious, are there any topics that you personally want covered more in-depth?
Not sure I followed the chart very well when it came to extraction vs concentration. You also mixed grams amd millilitres which confuses me a bit. I think a discussion about grind size is also in order.
Hi sir can i ask the best ration of coffee....im using coffee maker but i need to make it the same strong coffee as esspreso...thank you....like ur vid al lot...hope u will help me
Hey JV, sadly enough that is not possible. Espresso is a different beast compared to filter coffee. To put it in perspective, espresso uses a brewing ratio of ~1:2 meaning for every 1grams of coffee, 2grams of water is being used. This is possible because the pressure that espresso machines provide allow for a proper extraction to occur at those lower brewing ratios. The closest thing you can get that somewhat replicates an espresso with its concentration and intensity is with a manual coffee maker is a Mokapot, and even that brewing device is far from a true espresso! Getting a good espresso espresso setup can costs thousands of dollars and requires a lot of knowledge to get right. So perhaps the best thing is to master and enjoy filter coffee but treat yourself to an espresso at a cafe every now and then?
When it comes to brewing ratios and immersion brewing, the same concepts in this video applies. However, immersion brewing is for sure something I should cover in a future video!! It's forgiving, hard to over-extract and is many times overlooked by its fancier and prominent pour-over brother 😜
@@brewinghabits now using the Hario switch I wonder how good and tasty an immersion coffee can be. Much rounder and sometimes even sweeter thanks to the more uniform extraction. Sure pouring with a kettle is fancier and romantic but immersion is more consistent and one can enjoy the coffee for what it is and for what has grown with it. I'm a huge fan of percolation but for most home enthusiasts like me, consistency takes time to truly master and while this happens one can just waste a ton of coffee pursuing that GREAT cup that tends to appear from time to time on a lucky day 😉
ok.. question: are you calculating brew ratio by water you pour into the dripper or by water you get in the end carafe? It seems like there is absolutely no clear distinction right now. Coffee grounds can absorb nearly 50g or water which can change what you mean by your ratio by 2 entire points. (25g of ground coffee -- 400g(water) in means final cup-weight of ~350g [this can be considered either 1:16 or 1:14])
There are only a handful of recipes that takes water retention into consideration. The fluctuation you are mentioning will only occur if you change the steps of your recipe to accommodate/ignore water retention between brews. Both methods are valid as long as you stay consistent. So either always measure the retention (which most recipes do) or have an elevated brewer and ignore water retention (which is cool too) because at the end of the day, you will be changing the recipe depending on the taste of the coffee.
Ratios are usually done with two variables that can be easily linked and are consistent. Tablespoons are shaped differently and would measure different weight amounts depending on the roast. This is because a darker roast is more hollow and expanded compared to a light roast, which would make scoops of different roast levels weigh differently. As the saying goes, what's heavier, 100kg of feathers or 100kg of stone? They are the same because the quantity is not the important factor, but the weight is. If you use a scale, 20g of light roast is the same as 20g of dark roast. It would not be possible to measure out equal weights with a spoon when it comes to different bags of beans. TL:DR - Brewing ratios need a scale and easy variables to be used. Get a cheapo scale!! It will make your cups consistent and brewing life easier :D
It really depends on how you want to brew your cold coffee liquid. You can do a cold brew concentrate (~1:5 ratio), a Japanese iced pour-over (~1:16 ratio) or an espresso (1:2 ratio)!
What is the best ratio for cold brew but like 1:15 ratio in hot i tried cold brew using 1:15 ratio but it doesn't taste the same its so light so i dont know what ratio i will use in cold brew but taste like 1:15 ratio in hot
Cold brew is indeed a different beast! If you are doing Japanese styled iced coffee (brewing hot coffee onto ice) then play around at the 1:12 ratio range. If you are are doing cold brew (steeping for 24 hours) then play around with ratios lower at around 1:8.
The brewing ratio is just a relationship between the amount of beans and water used. So think of 1:14 as "For every 1 gram of coffee, I brew with 14 grams of water" and since your final cup of coffee won't really have any grinds in it, there would be no reason to add the grind weight into the equation. Hopefully that cleared things up!
@@SycFuk2000 it's for sure a safe brewing ratio. Higher ratios (1:16 - 1:18) are great for lighter roasts if you want to get into that territory. Exploration is key 🔥🔥
@@brewinghabits Forgot to mention, I use 15 grams because of my tablespoon measuring spoon. My new kitchen scale just arrived, so I'll definitely try a 1:18

Finally, something simple with straightforward explanation.
I love Coffee Maths.. One of the best videos explaining ratios..
Always use grams to measure coffee AND Water
Can't go wrong with some educational math to improve our daily cup of coffee!

@@marzchavez2607 scales are really cheap and really useful for cooking and baking in general. But 1 tablespoon of coffee is about 10g

Really appreciate the comment and glad the information was just what you were looking for :D
Finally, someone who understands what I need!
Very useful. Thanks. It is as though you are picking up from where Chris Baca left us in the journey.
Haha yea, that's one way to put it! Grabbing the YT coffee torch from giants and running forwards :D
Just curious, are there any topics that you personally want covered more in-depth?
Thank you for this information brother! Godbless
Great video .. perfect delivery
Very useful. Thanks for this!
Thumbs 👍👍 man...you made it simple & clear for me to understand the calculations
This was awesome!
Thanks buddy, glad you found the video awesome 🔥🔥
Thank you. I finally get it. Well done!
Thank you!☕🙂
what the heck. worked with you at snakes. you came up on my algorithm. small world.
Suuupp :D
The visualization helps a lot.
👍👍 Glad you liked the visuals, I'll make sure to have the same/higher calibre of visual for future videos :D
This is an awesome explanation.
Glad you like the explanation, brewing ratios are so vital to a good cup of coffee! If you have any random coffee Q's then you know where to find me 🔥
Nice easy to understand
Oh this is gonna be super useful. Thanks for doing these!
Glad you found it useful!! More videos are in the pipelines :D
super helpful!

Is just waouuu thanks
Woow thanks a lot, subscribe!

Can you explain this in tablespoons of coffee grounds to ounces of water?

@@brewinghabits Much appreciated!🙂
If the ratio affects the extraction how about the time of every ratio

Thank you so much for the answer can you make video of proper making cold brew and ratio of cold brew strong to light :)
@@ItsJamesVlog sure thing, I can put that on the video hitlist :D
2:00 wouldn't you divide by 15 (1+14)? Because the final drink will include both the coffee and water.
The brewing ratio is just a relationship between the amount of beans and water used. So think of 1:14 as "For every 1 gram of coffee, I brew with 14 grams of water" and since your final cup of coffee won't really have any grinds in it, there would be no reason to add the grind weight into the equation.
Hopefully that cleared things up!
I normally do 15 grams per cup.
That's a solid 1:15.7 brewing ratio. Ever deviate from your norm?
@@brewinghabits I'm definitely going to try something new. 1:15 is just something I read somewhere a few years ago when I was first learning

Get a Peter's projection map
Sir 18x14= 252 not 244
Can’t anyone just give cups and tablespoon amounts needed….
1 gram to 18 milliliters? SHOW THE INGREDIENTS I'm not a mathemetician! Give the VISUAL ratios pues
Grams and milliliters are the same! So measure everything in grams :D
Tds lol
What's wrong with you people? Doesn't anybody use ounces anymore ,Or tablespoons, this isn't Europe
Lolololololololllolololooloooo
Is just waouuu thanks
