Here's the ratio guide: V60 / Pour Over Light roast: 1:16 to 1:17 Example: 15g coffee to 250g water Water: 96–100°C Grind: medium-fine, like rough sand Brew time: 2:45–3:30 Medium roast: 1:15 to 1:16 Example: 16g coffee to 250g water Water: 92–96°C Grind: medium-fine Brew time: 2:30–3:15 Dark roast: 1:14 to 1:15 Example: 17g coffee to 250g water Water: 88–92°C Grind: slightly coarser Brew time: 2:15–3:00 French Press Light roast: 1:17 Example: 30g coffee to 510g water Water: 96–100°C Grind: coarse Brew time: 4 minutes, then break the crust and let it sit Medium roast: 1:16 Example: 30g coffee to 480g water Water: 92–96°C Grind: coarse Brew time: 4 minutes, then break the crust and let it sit Dark roast: 1:15 Example: 30g coffee to 450g water Water: 88–92°C Grind: coarse Brew time: 4 minutes, then break the crust and let it sit AeroPress AeroPress is a bit different because a lot of recipes use a stronger concentrate first, then dilute to taste. Light roast: 1:10 to 1:12 concentrate Example: 18g coffee to 180–220g water Water: 94–100°C Grind: medium-fine Brew time: 1:30–2:30 Then top up with hot water to taste. Medium roast: 1:9 to 1:11 concentrate Example: 18g coffee to 160–200g water Water: 90–96°C Grind: medium Brew time: 1:15–2:00 Then top up with hot water to taste. Dark roast: 1:8 to 1:10 concentrate Example: 18g coffee to 140–180g water Water: 85–92°C Grind: medium to medium-coarse Brew time: 1:00–1:45 Then top up with hot water to taste. For a normal mug-style AeroPress, a simple starting point is: 18g coffee, 180g water in the AeroPress, then top up with 60–120g hot water after pressing. That gives you a final drink somewhere around 240–300g, but with more control over strength.
