confusing espresso brew ratio: 1:1 shot, 1:2 shot and a 1:3 shot

first of all the brew ratio is not same brewing ratio in SCAA

from SCAA :

The ratio of coffee grounds (mass) to water (volume): how much coffee is used for a given quantity of water. This may be expressed in units of either grams per litre

this is mainly used for unpressurised brewing, eg drip, pourover or french press brewing.

This can be simply called as coffee-to-water ratio

it is recommended to be 55 g /L +/- 10%.

    The brew ratio ( or simply ratio of coffee grounds (mass) to water (volume)): how much coffee is used for a given quantity of water. This may be expressed in units of either grams per litre or ounces per US half gallon.

These are related as follows:

    Strength = Brew ratio × Extraction

which can be analyzed as the following identity:

    dissolved solids/water = grounds/water × dissolved solids/grounds

So Brew ratio = Strength / Extraction
or                    = (dissolved solids/water) / (dissolved solids/grounds)

if you have TDS meter, brew ratio
                       = measured TDS / Extraction




somewhere on internet, some simplified it to be used in espresso making:

1:1 shot as ristretto
1:2 shot as normal espresso
1:3 shot as lungo

This causes trouble.

without considering the grind setting, yield extraction, you can make a very weak ( or very strong ) drink with same 1:1 shot.

From Scott Rao:

One of the stickier trends in the past couple of years has been the near-religious adherence, at least in the US, to the 2:1 espresso-brewing ratio.  I’d like to discuss what an espresso-brewing ratio (EBR) is, why it’s relevant, and why it’s a little silly for so many cafes to latch on to this suspiciously harmonious ratio.

What is an Espresso-Brewing Ratio?


Simply put, it’s the ratio of an espresso’s beverage weight to the weight of the dry grounds used to make the shot.  For example, if a barista pulls a 36g shot from 18g of grounds , the ratio would be 2:1. 

Why EBR is relevant

I suspect most baristas do not realize this: if you have exact targets for extraction % and TDS, there is only one EBR that can produce a shot that achieves both targets. For example, let’s say you desire a 20% extraction and 10% TDS.

Using a slightly simplified calculation, the only EBR that can produce a 20% extraction/10% TDS shot is a 2:1 ratio. 

For example, with a 20g dose and 40g shot:

10% TDS = 4g of coffee solids (10% x 40g shot = 4g)
4g of coffee solids extracted from a 20g dose = 20% extraction

A 2:1 EBR can yield a spectrum of extraction/TDS combinations; for example
8% TDS / 16% extraction or
9% TDS / 18% extraction

But no other EBR can produce any of the combinations mentioned above.

It's a combination of:


dose

yield extraction ( grind size)
time (or flow rate )
brew temperature

copycat comandante C40 grinder

 from facebook 尋日朋友話係強國網上買左支C40,重要係斑馬木,話要拎嚟同我炫耀下,咁咪拎過嚟我到開箱囉。   斑馬木都停產左好耐,重要買到全新,重要係強國網,佢話買左二千四人仔,我當然半信半疑,見到面拎上手都好重手下,紙盒都算幾真,都幾結實,印刷都唔覺有太大問題,打開盒先開始覺得唔對路(圖1-14開箱圖)。 -1號圖,招紙貼得有d皺,但印刷都算幾清晰。 -2、3號圖,打開就爛左。 -4、5號圖,玻璃樽色澤、材質明顯有問題。 -7同9號係片,一定要聽下啲聲,好怪。 -8號圖,可以睇到冚蓋後,好大條罅。 -10號圖睇到,9號條片扭左幾下,不停有碎跌出黎。 -11號圖,拎出黎就花曬。 -12、13號圖,本身印刷品質數都高,但對番正版個張唔會有黑色油墨跡。 -14號圖,主體Logo係焫落去,有凹凸感,之後用正版對比,先發現問題。  立刻拎支正版出黎比對下。 -15-19號圖,如果無正版盒係手,就咁拎住個假盒都可能呃到下人,但真盒一拎上手,非常硬正,敲落去感覺好唔同。     -20-25號圖,基本重量無太大分別,假貨手柄比較重,正版高度比較多一點點。 -26-30號圖,透明、茶色粉杯一比之下就睇得出分別,正版比較通透、清晰,玻璃瓶品質高。 -31-33號圖,手柄膠片位有花、有明顯水口位,正版無水口,好平滑,木柄和連接轉軸位置都有所不同。 -34號片,正版磁力強,手柄好穩陣,假貨倒轉就跌出嚟,連磁石都甩埋(35號圖)。 -36-37號圖,歸零後正版手柄會卡住,假貨由於磁石位置甩咗,所以鎖唔住。 -38-39號圖,塑膠位置標誌以及文字正版都比較突顯、清晰。 -40號圖,未用內膽就有多處刮花。 -41-44號圖,驟眼睇真係好似,螺絲都跟都幾足,但網上搵左好多圖睇過,基本上文字同刀邊都會有距離,假野比較貼。 -45號圖,刀頭格數卡位用嘅孔,開箱個時扭左幾下已經有碎屑跌出嚟,放大睇更明顯睇到分別,正版手工好好,假野好似月球坑咁。 -46-47號圖,46正版歸零後好平,47扭到好盡,歸零唔順暢,有少許凸起。   -48號片,調節格數聲音,都唔洗講,一聽就知大問題 -49-50號圖,假貨膠料位置明顯水口,螺絲也有分別。 -51-52號圖,正版刀頭用左成年都好新,假貨扭左半日都無,就刮左個圈出黎蝕曬,鋼水差。   -53-56號圖,木面Logo雖然都做到好真,但都搵到分別
