Coffee Ratio Example: 350 ml Pour-Over
This example uses a hypothetical 350 ml pour-over to show how the coffee ratio calculator works when someone wants one generous mug.

This example uses a hypothetical scenario to show how the calculator works. It is a curated example page, not a saved user result or a claim about a real person.
Inputs used in the example
| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
| Method | Pour-over |
| Desired yield | 350 ml |
| Strength | Balanced |
Output interpretation
A balanced 1:16 starting point lands near 22 g coffee to 350 g water.
If the cup tastes pleasant but too intense, move wider next time instead of changing grind immediately.
If it tastes sour or bitter, use the coffee taste diagnostic before changing several variables.
What to check next
- Record grind setting, drawdown time, water temperature, and taste.
- Keep the ratio stable for the next brew if the main issue is extraction.
