Guide to Maximizing Your Coffee Supply
Few things are as disheartening as the realization that your morning ritual is interrupted by an empty coffee canister. At Provisions Craft Roastery, we understand the importance of uninterrupted coffee. So, to ensure you never face such a dilemma again, we've crunched the numbers to provide you with a comprehensive guide on how many cups of coffee you can expect from each 12oz bag of our meticulously crafted beans.
Determining Your Coffee Yield
A 12oz bag of our premium coffee typically yields between 17 to 21 cups. However, variables like cup size, brewing method, and personal preference can influence this number. To help you plan your coffee inventory more effectively, let's delve into the specifics.
Understanding Bag Sizes
Our coffee comes in various bag sizes, with 12oz being the most popular choice. On average, coffee enthusiasts purchase a 12oz bag every 1 to 2 weeks, depending on their consumption habits.
Coffee-to-Water Ratio
When brewing your daily cup of coffee, it's crucial to consider the coffee-to-water ratio. We recommend a ratio of 1:18—1 gram of coffee to 18 grams of water. Using this ratio and assuming a standard mug size of 10oz, a 12oz bag of coffee will yield approximately 21 cups.
Tailoring to Your Preferences
Different brewing methods require varying ratios and techniques. For espresso, we suggest a ratio of 1:2, resulting in about 17 shots per 12oz bag. Meanwhile, Aeropress enthusiasts can expect 18 cups using our recommended inverted method or up to 28 cups with alternative recipes.
For pour-over aficionados, we recommend 20 grams of coffee per 12oz cup, yielding 17 cups from a 12oz bag. And for French press lovers, using 38 grams of coarsely ground coffee will provide around 18 cups per 12oz bag.
Planning for Events
Hosting a gathering? Fear not, our calculations extend to larger quantities. For instance, a 5lb bag can yield approximately 120 (12oz) cups when serving in to-go cups, making party planning a breeze.
Embracing the Art of Coffee
Coffee brewing is as much a science as it is an art. Our ratios and recipes serve as guidelines that can be tailored to suit your preferences. Whether for daily indulgence or special occasions, we hope this guide empowers you to enjoy our Provisions coffee to the fullest.
At Provisions Craft Roastery, we believe in simplifying the process while embracing the endless possibilities of coffee perfection. Cheers to your next cup of excellence!
