Question 1

How do I scale a coffee recipe?

Accepted Answer

Enter your original recipe's coffee dose, water amount, and serving size. Select your target number of cups. The calculator maintains your ratio while scaling all measurements proportionally.

Question 2

Do I need to adjust grind when scaling up?

Accepted Answer

When scaling significantly, you may need to grind slightly coarser to maintain consistent flow rate through larger coffee beds. The ratio stays the same, but grind affects extraction.

Question 3

What is brew loss?

Accepted Answer

Coffee grounds retain approximately 2ml of water per gram. The calculator factors this into yield estimates, which becomes more significant when scaling to larger batches.
