Preparing specialty coffee is an art that requires precision and attention to detail, and relies heavily on using the correct ratio formula to achieve the perfect flavor.
Drip coffee is a type of coffee that is distinguished by its unique preparation method, and it relies on the use of specific tools such as the V60.
Using the ratio in coffee preparation ensures optimal flavor extraction and directly impacts the quality of your cup of coffee. The ratio determines the precise amount of water needed to achieve the best coffee flavor.

What does "preparation richo" mean for drip coffee?
The brewing ratio is the ratio between the amount of coffee and the amount of water. By precisely determining the ratio, you can control the strength of the taste and the balance of flavors. The correct ratio helps you make a well-balanced drip coffee, neither too strong nor too weak.
The most famous briquettes for preparing drip coffee:
1:13 – Heavy (strong and rich):

1:15 – Balanced (Medium Strength):
15 grams of water per gram of coffee. Suitable for: Lovers of balanced coffee that combines strength and smoothness.
1:16 – Light (soft and gentle):
16 grams of water per gram of coffee. Suitable for: lovers of light coffee and a smooth taste.
1:17 – The lightest (smooth and mild taste):
17 grams of water per gram of coffee. Suitable for: Lovers of very mild and refreshing coffee.
Tips to improve the taste of drip coffee:
Using water at the appropriate temperature greatly affects the flavor of the coffee, and is influenced by the ratio used.
Avoid using water that is too hot or too cold, and choose a temperature between 90 and 96 degrees Celsius.
Using the correct coffee grams ensures a balanced flavor, and is affected by the ratio.
Special techniques for preparing drip coffee:
To make the best drip coffee, there are specific techniques that can make a big difference in the quality of the final cup. One of the most important of these techniques is controlling the grind size, as a fine or coarse grind directly affects flavor extraction. It's always recommended to grind the coffee just before brewing to preserve its freshness.
The method of pouring the water is also important, and it is preferable to use a slow circular pour when using a tool like a V60 in order to distribute the water evenly over the coffee and ensure a balanced extraction.
Another useful technique is to try the 1:15 ratio, meaning you use 15 ml of water per gram of coffee, while monitoring the time and water temperature, which should ideally be between 90 and 93 degrees Celsius.
All these small details contribute to highlighting the unique flavors of each type of coffee, and give you a rich and balanced cup of coffee every time.
