How much coffee and Water to put in the coffee maker per cup?
Coffee and Water Calculator
- The amount of water per cup is considered to be 6 ounces.
- The total amount of water for the desired number of cups is calculated, converting ounces to milliliters (1 ounce = approximately 29.5735 milliliters).
- For the scale method, coffee is calculated using the golden ratio of 16:1, where the total amount of water in milliliters is divided by 16 to determine the amount of coffee in grams.
- For the scoop method, it assumes that one scoop is approximately 10 grams of coffee, so the total number of scoops is equal to the number of cups.
Notes and Rules for Using the Calculator
- The calculator defaults to 1 cup if no value is entered, but users should enter the number of cups they wish to brew.
- Ensure you have a consistent scoop size if using the scoop method, as it may vary by brand or type of scoop.
- Using a scale is recommended for optimal accuracy in coffee-to-water ratios, as it provides more control over the strength and taste of the coffee.
