FAQ
What is a good espresso brew ratio?
A 1:2 ratio (for example 18 g of coffee to 36 g of espresso) is the usual starting point. Go shorter (1:1.5) for more body, longer (1:2.5 or more) for light roasts.
Should I measure espresso yield by weight or volume?
By weight. Crema makes volume unreliable, so put a scale under the cup.
What ratio should I use for pour-over?
Between 1:15 and 1:17 covers most tastes. 1:16 is a balanced default.
