No. Enter your actual brewed volume rather than assuming all mugs are the same. At a 1:16 coffee-to-water ratio, 1 L of water uses 62.5 g of coffee. The ratio is editable and does not promise identical flavour across different beans and brewing methods.
Only the consumption and allowance you enter are included. Dialling in a grinder, retained grounds and discarded brews can use extra coffee. Compare the calculated quantity with pack sizes and freshness needs before buying a large stock. Allow for those separately. Allow for those separately.
A 1:16 coffee-to-water ratio uses one part coffee for sixteen parts water under the tool's stated working units. For a 500 ml water input, the example gives 31.25 g of coffee. Keep brew volume and ratio separate; changing mug size need not mean changing the chosen brewing strength.
