The conversion from whole coffee beans to ground coffee is a 1:1 ratio by weight. This means the weight remains the same when converting whole beans to ground coffee.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: The weight remains constant when converting whole beans to ground coffee because only the physical form changes, not the mass.
Details: Using proper measurements ensures consistency in coffee brewing, which affects flavor extraction and strength. Weight measurements are more accurate than volume measurements for coffee.
Tips: Enter the weight of whole coffee beans in grams. The calculator will show the equivalent weight in ground coffee.
Q1: Why is the ratio 1:1?
A: Because mass is conserved during grinding - only the physical form changes, not the weight.
Q2: Does grind size affect the weight?
A: No, the weight remains the same regardless of grind size (fine, medium, coarse).
Q3: Should I measure by volume or weight?
A: Weight is always more accurate for coffee measurements as volume can vary with grind size and packing.
Q4: Does bean type affect the conversion?
A: No, the 1:1 ratio applies to all coffee varieties (Arabica, Robusta, etc.).
Q5: How precise should my measurements be?
A: For best results in brewing, measure to at least 1 gram precision.
