5- Coffee-to-water ratio:
How much ground coffee do you use to make a cup of coffee? This is an important question that needs an answer. People have different preferences. More coffee generally means a stronger cup of coffee. Making a strong cup of coffee doesn't necessarily mean a dark roast, but rather adding more coffee. The question remains, however: what is the ideal ratio for making coffee (the water-to-coffee ratio)?
The scientist E.E. Lokhart studied coffee in 1950 and concluded that most people in the United States of America prefer a ratio of 1:18 (1 gram of coffee to 18 grams of water), but that depends on what you prefer.
At Coffee Giant, we use a 1:15 ratio because we found it suitable for our coffee. Some people prefer a higher ratio because they prefer a stronger coffee.
