How to calculate your coffee ratio
The coffee-to-water ratio is the proportion between the amount of ground coffee and the amount of water used to brew it. It is expressed, for example, as 1:16, which means 1 gram of coffee for 16 grams of water.
The formula is simple: water (g) = coffee (g) × ratio. For example, for 15g of coffee in a V60 with a 1:16 ratio, you need 240g of water. A tighter ratio (1:2 for espresso) results in a concentrated and intense coffee; a wider ratio (1:16-17) results in a lighter, clearer cup of coffee.
| Method | Coffee/Water Ratio | Example (coffee → water) |
|---|---|---|
| Espresso | 1:2 | 18g → 36g |
| Moka | 1:7 | 15g → 105g |
| French Press | 1:12 | 20g → 240g |
| Chemex | 1:15 | 20g → 300g |
| V60 | 1:16 | 15g → 240g |
| Batch Brew | 1:16 | 30g → 480g |
The Kafina Barista app calculates this ratio automatically for you, regardless of how much coffee you are brewing.

How do I calculate a coffee ratio?
The coffee-to-water ratio is calculated by multiplying the weight of the coffee by the chosen ratio: water (g) = coffee (g) × ratio. For example, 15g of coffee with a 1:16 ratio requires 240g of water.
Which coffee/water ratio should I choose for each method?
Espresso: 1:2. Moka: 1:7. French Press: 1:12. Chemex: 1:15. V60 and Batch Brew: 1:16. A tighter ratio yields a more concentrated coffee, a wider ratio yields a lighter coffee.
