Full API documentation

Explanation

Formula: Brew Ratio 1:12 = Brew Ratio 1:15 × 0.8. Why: brew-ratio notation is normalized through grams of coffee per liter of water, so the route compares fixed ratio definitions on one extraction-strength basis.

Brew Ratio 1:15: a brew-ratio format interpreted as grams of water per 1 gram of coffee, then normalized to a grams-per-liter coffee dose basis.

Brew Ratio 1:12: a brew-ratio format interpreted as grams of water per 1 gram of coffee, then normalized to a grams-per-liter coffee dose basis.

This route is useful when comparing brew-ratio recipes such as 1:15, 1:16, and 1:18 on one common extraction-strength basis.

This conversion is purely multiplicative because both formats reduce through grams of coffee per liter of water, with fixed cup-size assumptions where those formats apply.

Method & Brew Basis

Method basis: fixed brew-ratio definitions compared on one grams-per-liter coffee-dose basis.
Applied factor: 1 Brew Ratio 1:15 = 0.8 Brew Ratio 1:12.
Consistency rule: calculator output and common-value rows use the same grams-per-liter brew basis in both directions.

Questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

How many 1:12 are in 1 1:15?

1 1:15 equals 0.8 1:12 with the fixed brew-ratio basis used here.

Why normalize the brew ratio through grams per liter?

Grams per liter is the common coffee-dose basis for this family, so brew ratios and per-cup dose targets stay comparable and reversible.

How do I reverse Brew Ratio 1:15 to Brew Ratio 1:12?

Use the switch button or open the Brew Ratio 1:12 to Brew Ratio 1:15 page to apply the same coffee-dose relationship in reverse.

Can I use decimal inputs?

Yes. Decimal values are supported for single-cup brewing, recipe cards, and larger batch planning.
