April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

"Take car, go to Mum's, kill Phillip, pick up Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint and wait for all this to blow over!"

Memberbit late, buuuut if you still wonder
Ratio means how much of coffee grounds were used for given weight of liquid coffee in cup. So in case of 20 grams of grounds in and 40 grams of liquid out so ratio is 1:2. Classic espresso ration, bit on shorter side (some do up to 1:2.5 - 1:3)
More water means you extract more taste from grounds, but your end result gets less strong (lower ration of dissolved coffee). If you do too much water you will enter over extraction zone and coffee will start to feel more bitter.
Less water means stronger, thicker coffee, but you risk under extraction and coffee will start to taste sour.
Knowing exact dose helps too, you'll get bit different coffee from 15g in 30g out than 20g in, 40g, out cause more coffee give bigger resistance so there may be some variance in end result.
Different coffees may require bit different ratios and doses to get the best of them in espresso, grinding settings, and grinder used and roast level of beans bring some variance to that.
So basically you ask someone who worked on given beans, grinder and machine what they thinks works the best. Of course preferences may vary.
