I have not used cocoa peat, but as I understand it, compression ratios vary according to manufacturers. A 5:1 ratio seems to be common, which means that when you add water, the cocoa peat expands up to 5 times its original dimensions. I suppose that would vary according to how much water you put in it, too.
