Coffee may be a sensory experience, but behind every great cup is a bit of math.
Whether you're brewing a morning pour-over or dialing in an espresso shot, numbers matter. Think ratios, weights, temperature, time—all of these come together to help you unlock consistency, flavor clarity, and control in every brew.
Why is there math in coffee?
Because coffee is a science and an art. Measuring isn’t about making the process stiff or intimidating, it’s about creating repeatable results.
Imagine finding your perfect recipe after weeks of trial and error, only to realise you forgot to weigh your dose or time your shot. That's a heartbreaker! Precise measurements help you take notes, adjust variables, and most importantly, recreate the magic.
Here’s what measuring adds to your coffee ritual:
✅ Consistency – Brew the same delicious cup over and over again. No more "this one tastes different" moments.
✅ Clarity – Know what works and what doesn’t. Measurements help you pinpoint if your grind is too fine, your dose too light, or your brew too quick.
✅ Control – Make intentional changes, not guesses. Want a stronger cup? Adjust your ratio. Want a sweeter espresso? Play with the yield.
✅ Confidence – It’s empowering to know what’s happening in your cup. Measuring gives you the data to brew with purpose.
