a volume maggiore corrisponde peso maggiore

English translation: the greater the volume, the greater the weight

Science - Physics / coffee
Italian term or phrase: a volume maggiore corrisponde peso maggiore
"A volumi maggiori o minori corrispondono pesi maggiori o minori" is the complete sentence.

The context is physics I guess, yet it has nothing to do with the translation since we are talking about the process of making coffee, espressos, cappuccinos and there are some technical parts that explain procedures, quantity of water, ground coffee, etc.

Hey! this is my first post. Any help is appreciated, I'm stuck on this...

You could use larger with volume but not with weight.
