- Who is the Coffee Ratios poster for?
- Coffee Ratios belongs to the Kitchen section rather than to a school year, because food is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning measures can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Coffee Ratios poster?
- Ratio and grind size. Everything else is refinement on top of those two. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Coffee Ratios belongs on the wall where that food work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Coffee Ratios?
- Baking at Altitude, Brining and Baker's Percentages sit alongside Coffee Ratios in the Kitchen section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Baking at AltitudeBriningBaker's Percentages
- Is the Coffee Ratios poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Coffee Ratios downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Kitchen section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Coffee Ratios poster print at?
- Coffee Ratios is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Coffee Ratios loses nothing.Printing guide
