VST CoffeeTools™ for iPad

Design coffee brew targets and compare measured TDS/extraction data on a brewing chart.

Our take

Useful for users who understand the measurement assumptions

Dose/water/beverage conversions link design targets with recorded results.

Keep in mind: Calculations do not measure TDS without suitable equipment or guarantee taste; calibration, temperature and retained-liquid defaults affect comparisons.

What you can do

  • Drag/chart recipe targets across brew methods
  • Measured TDS/yield plotting and unit conversion
  • Separate recipe databases, presets and optional sharing

Good for

  • Baristas comparing repeatable measurements

Consider alternatives for

  • An included refractometer or guaranteed ideal extraction

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.6.
  • Calculations do not measure TDS without suitable equipment or guarantee taste; calibration, temperature and retained-liquid defaults affect comparisons.
