Brew ratios help you make coffee that’s just right, not too weak, not too strong.
Imagine you're filling a juice box. If you put in only a little fruit and lots of water, the juice will be weak. But if you put in a lot of fruit and little water, it’ll be strong, maybe even too strong! That’s like using brew ratios when making coffee.
Brew ratios are like a recipe for your coffee. They tell you how much coffee grounds to use compared to how much water you pour in. For example, if the ratio is 1:15, that means 1 part coffee to 15 parts water. So if you use 20 grams of coffee, you’d use 300 milliliters of water.
Why It Matters
When you follow a brew ratio, it’s like having a best friend who knows exactly how much sugar to put in your cereal, just right! If you don’t use the right amount of coffee or water, your coffee might be too bitter (like burnt toast) or too bland (like plain oatmeal).
You can try different ratios to see what you like best. Some people like it strong, others like it milder, and that’s totally okay! Brew ratios help you make coffee that’s just right, not too weak, not too strong.

Examples
- Using 1 tablespoon of coffee for every 4 ounces of water is a common brew ratio for drip coffee.
- Too much coffee and your drink becomes bitter, too little and it’s weak.
- If you use a French press with less water, the coffee gets stronger.
