Pour-over coffee enthusiasts can achieve perfection with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, as recommended by coffee expert Jee Choe. She suggests using 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per 6 ounces of water if a scale isn't available. While this ratio is ideal for pour-overs and drip machines, adjustments can be made based on personal taste. The method allows home brewers to create stronger coffee or a concentrated version of espresso without needing an expensive machine, providing a practical solution for coffee lovers with limited resources.
The 'golden ratio' is 1:18 coffee to water ratio in grams for pour-overs; for every 1 gram of coffee, use 18 grams of water.
This golden ratio is the Specialty Coffee Association's recommended ratio to get a balanced brew, so itâs a good starting point but feel free to adjust.
