Coffee-to-Water Ratio Calculator

Enter your water amount to calculate a starting coffee dose in grams. Choose your brewing method and preferred strength.

Use the result for your first batch, then adjust the dose to taste. The cold-brew setting estimates ready-to-drink coffee; a concentrate needs a different recipe.

One US cup = 8 US fl oz = about 236.6 mL. For this estimate, 1 mL of water = 1 g. Cold brew uses a ready-to-drink starting ratio, not a concentrate recipe. Weigh the coffee for a repeatable dose.

Start with the coffee that fits your brewer

Espresso Blend is made for espresso and cappuccino at home. Pakala makes a dark, full-bodied option for drip, press, or espresso. Toddy Blend is the direct cold-brew choice.

Weigh your coffee and water. Keep the recipe you enjoy so you can repeat it.
