📚 Coffee Brewing Tips
Weigh Everything
Use a scale for both coffee and water to ensure consistency in your brews.
Water Temperature
Light roasts benefit from higher temps (93-96°C), dark roasts from lower (85-90°C).
Brew Time
Adjust grind size to control extraction time - finer for longer, coarser for shorter.
Water Quality
Use filtered water with balanced mineral content (50-100 ppm hardness).
Extraction Balance
Aim for 18-22% extraction yield for optimal flavor balance.
Sensory Evaluation
Under-extracted tastes sour, over-extracted bitter. Adjust accordingly.
Dark Mode
Note: This calculator provides estimates based on standard extraction formulas. Actual results may vary based on coffee freshness, water chemistry, and brewing technique. The ideal extraction range is typically 18-22%.
