Revealing the secrets of coffee making: what is the exact ratio of various types of coffee in milliliters?

This article explores the ratio of various coffees in coffee making. Different types of coffee beans and different brewing methods require different ratios to make the best tasting coffee. Although the specific ratio varies from person to person, the ratio of espresso to water is usually 1:2 or 1:3, while hand-brewed coffee may require more precise ratio control. The article also mentions some other factors, such as grinding degree, water temperature, etc., which will also affect the taste of coffee. To make a good cup of coffee, mastering the right ratio is the key.

Coffee, as one of the most popular drinks in the world, is everywhere. From rich espresso to fragrant latte, to sweet cappuccino, each type of coffee has its own unique taste and flavor. To make a perfect cup of coffee, it is crucial to control the proportion. What should be the proportion of various types of coffee?

Let's first discuss the most basic coffee making - single-origin coffee. Single-origin coffee usually refers to coffee beans from a single origin, such as Yirgacheffe from Ethiopia or Huilan from Colombia. When making single-origin coffee, it is generally recommended to use a ratio of coffee beans to water: 1:15 or 2:3 (that is, the weight of the coffee beans accounts for about one-third of the total volume). This ratio can ensure that the coffee beans are fully extracted and release a rich coffee aroma. The specific ratio should also be fine-tuned according to personal taste.

Next is the production ratio of latte coffee. Latte is composed of espresso and milk, and the ratio is roughly: one-third espresso plus two-thirds milk. This ratio makes latte have both rich coffee aroma and silky taste of milk. It is the first choice of many people. When making latte, heating the milk to a suitable temperature and delicate foam is also the key, which directly affects the flavor and taste of the latte.

For cappuccino, the ratio is slightly different. The traditional cappuccino ratio is: equal amounts of espresso and milk foam. This means that when making cappuccino, the amount of espresso and milk foam needs to be controlled more precisely so that the two are balanced in taste and flavor. The special thing about cappuccino is its rich layering. You can experience the perfect fusion of coffee and milk in every sip.

In addition to the above common coffees, there are many other types and variations of coffee, such as American coffee, mocha coffee, etc. Each type of coffee has its own unique proportion requirements, and these proportions are key factors affecting the final taste. The ratio of water and espresso in American coffee needs to be adjusted according to personal taste; in mocha coffee, the ratio of chocolate sauce and milk, as well as the balance between them and espresso, also needs to be considered.

In actual operation, it is not easy to master these proportions, because different coffee beans, different coffee machines, and different types of milk will affect the final extraction effect and taste. It is recommended that you try and adjust more when making coffee to find the proportion that suits you best. You can also refer to professional coffee making courses or consult experienced baristas to obtain more production techniques and inspiration.

Making coffee is not just a simple brewing process, it is also an art. The proportions of various coffees are an indispensable part of the production process. They directly affect the final taste and flavor. I hope that through the discussion in this article, everyone can better understand the proportion problem in coffee making and make more delicious coffee. But please remember that the true beauty of coffee still needs you to discover and experience it in practice.
