Start with a 2 tbsp to 6 ounces of water ratio and move up or down from there. So weight is going to be much more accurate than using another measuring method. Next up we have a team favorite, the Aeropress. This is a rather unique brewing tool. By changing your ratios up, you can achieve anything from an espresso-like concentration to something resembling your average brew.
However, unlike with the other brews, this tool actually comes with a measuring system with it. The Aeropress itself has oval markers on it labelled 1, 2, 3, and 4. The brand recommends filling the press even to the 1 or 4 numbers if you use 1 or 4 scoops.
If you are using 2 or 3 scoops, you can either fill to the bottom or tops of the ovals. Filling to the bottom will create a richer brew for something like a Latte and the tops will weaken the brew a bit to be more appropriate for an Americano or Long Black.
Buying whole bean coffee and grinding it yourself is a great way to ensure your coffee is fresh. Well, if you are using a scale, not really at all.
On the other hand, if you are simply using volume measurement tools, it can be a little difficult to determine how much coffee to grind. But we have a rule of thumb to help you out. Each tablespoon holds about 5 grams of coffee, and a mL of water weights about a gram. From there, you just need to do some simple math using your chosen ratio. Keep in mind though, that while this guesstimating may work for some brewers, it leaves a bit too much room for error with others.
For most of the brew methods above, a scale does have a significant impact on the consistency and quality of your coffee. However, the level of necessity does vary between methods. For Pour Overs and other drip-based brewers, it is absolutely necessary to have a scale. Lastly, if you have an Aeropress, their tool is specifically designed for you to use their measuring tools. So while you certainly could use a scale to do some experimentation, using their guide will do just fine.
As you probably noticed on the chart we included above, there are multiple ways to measure how much coffee or water you need for a brew. Things like automatic drip brewers or the clever coffee dripper are designed to give you a little wiggle room on your coffee to water ratio.
So if your weights are slightly off because you measured with tablespoons and cups rather than a scale, your coffee will still taste fine. However, we do not recommend doing this with something like a Pour Over because slight variances can completely change the outcome of your brew. Yes, to an extent. With measurements and ratios, you have a good bit of wiggle room to find what works best for you personally.
However, you can somewhat affect the strength of your brew by switching up how coarse or fine you are grinding your beans. Now, this is only really applicable if you are grinding your own beans which you should be and have a grinder with a considerable range of sizes. For example, you can use a slightly finer grind like a medium or medium-coarse from your usual coarse grind, the result will be a slightly stronger brew.
A similar principle applies to the other brew, finer grinds will be a bit stronger and coarser ones will be weaker. You can adjust those measurements as much as you please for the most part. Different methods and preferences will call for different measurements. Your journey down the Path of the Bean will yield a variety of approaches, so feel free to experiment.
