Coffee calculator โ€“ how much coffee per cup

Brewing the perfect cup of coffee requires the right ratio of coffee to water. Our calculator helps you find the precise amount whether brewing for yourself or for a group.

The golden coffee ratio

The international standard is about 60 grams of ground coffee per liter of water for normal strength. This equals about 9 grams (just over 1 tablespoon) per 150 ml cup. For mild coffee use about 7 grams, for strong about 11 grams per cup.

Tips for better coffee

Always use freshly ground beans for the best flavor. Brew with water at 92-96ยฐC โ€“ not boiling. Clean your coffee maker regularly.

A standard 400-gram package of coffee yields about 44 cups of normal coffee (9 grams per cup). A 500-gram package yields about 55 cups. For strong coffee (11 grams) a 400-gram package yields about 36 cups.

What is the ideal water temperature for coffee?
