Tea Brewing Guide & Coffee Ratio Calculator
Perfect your daily brew with our dual-purpose hot drinks utility. Whether you are steeping delicate white tea or dialling in the perfect pour-over coffee, this tool provides the numbers you need.
How to use the Tea & Coffee Calculator:
- Tea Tab: Select your tea type (Green, Black, Oolong, etc.) to see the ideal water temperature and steeping time.
- Coffee Tab: Choose your brewing strength (Strong 1:15, Regular 1:16, Mild 1:18) and enter your coffee dose to instantly calculate the required water amount.
Why does water temperature matter for tea?
Using boiling water on delicate leaves like Green or White tea can scorch them, resulting in a bitter taste. Our guide recommends the optimal temperature ranges (e.g., 80°C for Green Tea) to ensure you extract sweetness and complexity without astringency.
The Golden Ratio for Coffee
Consistency is key to great coffee. Professional baristas use a weight-based ratio (Coffee : Water) to ensure every cup tastes the same. The industry standard 'Golden Ratio' is typically 1:16 (1 gram of coffee for every 16 grams of water). Our tool handles these calculations for you—simply enter your coffee amount, and we tell you exactly how much water to pour.
