Espresso Yield Calculator: calculate espresso yield for cooking and nutrition. Practical tips and worked examples.
Coffee dose (g) = Water (g) ÷ Brew ratio
Brew ratio = Water (g) ÷ Coffee (g)
Common brew ratios by method: Espresso 1:2–1:3 (20g coffee → 40–60g espresso); Filter/pour-over 1:15–1:17 (15g coffee → 225–255ml water); French press 1:12–1:15; Aeropress 1:10–1:16; Cold brew 1:4–1:8 (coarse, 12–24 hour steep); Moka pot 1:7–1:10.
Worked example: Making 300ml filter coffee at 1:16 ratio. Coffee dose = 300 ÷ 16 = 18.75g ≈ 19g. Use 19g of medium-ground coffee to 300g (300ml) water at 92–96°C.
