Defaults are starting points, not recommendations. Outputs inherit your inputs.

Common questions

Why different ratios for different methods?

Espresso extracts under pressure; drip and pourover use gravity and time. Ratio and grind change to hit balance.

Grind band is a starting point?

Yes. Taste first, adjust grind second. The band is only a safe launch zone.
