Frequently Asked Questions
What is a typical espresso brew ratio?
A standard espresso ratio is around 1:2 (dose to yield), meaning an 18g dose yields about 36g of liquid espresso.
What does a higher yield percentage mean?
A higher yield percentage relative to dose generally produces a more diluted, lighter-bodied shot, often called a lungo.
How do I use this to dial in my espresso?
Adjust your grind size and dose until you hit your target ratio within your desired extraction time, typically 25-30 seconds.
