For a double shot, this means using 18 grams of coffee to yield about 36 grams of espresso.It’s the ratio of ground coffee to liquid coffee. So, a 1:2 ratio means that for every gram of coffee in your basket, we’re expecting 2 grams of liquid espresso out.Let’s say you are brewing a double shot espresso (1:2 ratio); you should expect the total ground coffee to equal 18 – 20 grams. Dosing your coffee also refers to correctly choosing your grind size, as your grind size will significantly impact your extraction yield and shot time.Surprising to many people, 4-6 bars of pressure is sufficient to produce espresso, not the 9-bars of brew pressure you often see talked about. Brewing at the pressure of 9-bars can produce tasty shots of coffee, no doubt!
