How Does Brew Ratios Explained | Coffee Talk (In The Car) Work?

Brew ratios are like a recipe for your coffee, it tells you how much coffee grounds to use for every cup of water.

Imagine you're making a sandwich. You wouldn’t just throw bread and peanut butter together randomly, you’d decide how many slices of bread and how much peanut butter go in. That’s what brew ratios are like, but for coffee!

Let's say your recipe says 1:15, which means 1 part coffee to 15 parts water. If you use 20 grams of coffee grounds, then you’d use 300 grams of water (because 20 x 15 = 300). It’s like saying, “For every handful of coffee beans, we need a big jug of water.”

If you don’t follow the ratio, your coffee might be too strong or too weak. Like if you only use 1 part water for every 1 part coffee, it would taste super bitter, like eating a chocolate bar without any milk!

But if you get the balance right, you’ll have coffee that’s just perfect, like the sandwich you’d want to eat every day! Brew ratios are like a recipe for your coffee, it tells you how much coffee grounds to use for every cup of water.
