📚 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%.
