Standard brew ratios range from 1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, and everything in between. Knowing your brew ratio: The brew ratio determines how much coffee grounds go into your portafilter to the total espresso yield in your cup. You would repeat this process as part of the “dialing in” of the espresso to ensure that it hits on the intended recipe or taste notes. The espresso shot preparation and extraction stages include knowing your brew ratio, dosing your coffee, distributing the grounds, tamping with even and consistent pressure, and finally brewing the espresso and stopping it at the intended total brew time. This second method yields two single shots of espresso and is for those who prefer the extraction from a double basket better than a single basket or those in a commercial setting. The second method would be a double basket, finely grinding 19 grams of coffee and splitting the yield between two espresso cups. The first is using a single basket, finely grinding 7 - 9 grams of coffee to yield 14 – 18 grams of espresso. There are two ways to craft a single shot of espresso, but both will be at a 1:2 ratio (1 gram of coffee to 2 grams of water). The further the ratio is from 1:1, let’s say a 1:3 ratio ( gram of coffee grounds to 3 grams of water), the higher clarity and less intense of a shot it becomes. The closer the ratio is to 1:1, the more intense and heavier mouthfeel the espresso shot will be. An example of a ristretto would be using a single basket with 9 grams of coffee, yielding 9 grams of espresso. ![]() Traditionally, a ristretto espresso is a 1:1 ratio of coffee grounds to extracted espresso. ![]() Espresso drinks all start at a recommended brew ratio (though there is some flexibility in the numbers) which states the amount of ground coffee to the extracted espresso yield.
