| Pour over (V60, Chemex, Kalita) | 1:15 to 1:17 |
|---|---|
| French press | 1:12 to 1:15, brewed coarser and stronger to account for the full-immersion method. 30g coffee to 450g water is a typical 1:15 |
| AeroPress | 1:12 to 1:16 depending on style |
| Espresso | 1:2 for a standard modern shot |
| Moka pot | roughly 1:7 to 1:10, filling the basket level without tamping and the boiler to just below the valve |
| Cold brew concentrate | 1:4 to 1:8, steeped 12-24 hours |
| Sour, thin, lacking sweetness | this is under-extraction |
| Bitter, harsh, drying | this is over-extraction |
Typical values for general guidance. Always check the manufacturer's specification for your exact product.
