Calculadora de Café (doses)

The Coffee Calculator (doses) helps you determine the ideal amount of ground coffee and water for your desired number of cups. Simply enter how many cups you want and the coffee-to-water ratio (default 1:15, adjustable). The calculator automatically converts to grams of coffee and milliliters of water, assuming a standard cup size of 180 ml. Ideal for consistent flavor, whether using a pour-over, French press, or espresso.

The calculation is straightforward: multiply the number of cups by 180 ml to get total water volume, then divide by the chosen ratio (e.g., 15) to find coffee grams. For example, for 2 cups at 1:15: water = 360 ml, coffee = 360 ÷ 15 = 24 g. The calculator does this instantly, allowing fine adjustments to suit your taste.

Use this tool daily to avoid waste or weak coffee. It's helpful for beginners needing a reference and for enthusiasts experimenting with different ratios (like the SCA recommendation of 1:17.42). It also helps plan coffee for events, ensuring the right amount for guests without leftovers or shortages.

Caution: the ideal ratio varies by brewing method and grind size. Finer grinds (espresso) require different ratios (1:2 to 1:4), while infusion methods (drip, French press) work well with 1:15 to 1:18. The calculator uses a 180 ml cup as standard; adjust if your cup is different. Always weigh coffee on a scale for best accuracy.
