Grams coffee / liter water
This is a bit more specialised calculator for those of us who love V60 drip.
If you just want a cup for yourself - use the 1 Cup V60.
If you brew larger amount - use The Ultimate V60.
Select your prefered strengt above. The normal is 60 grams/liter, but if you want stronger or weaker, adjust until taste.
Note - it is not stored, so you need to add every time!
