The 46 Method Coffee Calculator

Welcome to Coffee Config's 46 method coffee calculator. The 4:6 method (also known as the 46 method) was developed by world champion barista Tetsu Kasuya as a precise approach to pour-over coffee brewing.


Our 46 method coffee calculator helps you determine the exact coffee-to-water ratio for your perfect brew. Simply input your desired coffee amount, and our calculator will guide you through the 4:6 method brewing process step by step.


What is the 46 Method?

The 46 method divides your brew into two phases:

  1. The first 40% of water determines the coffee's flavor balance
  2. The remaining 60% determines the coffee's strength

Our 46 method coffee calculator makes this process simple and accessible for both beginners and coffee enthusiasts.
