Winner of the Best New Product Award at the SCAA EXPO 2010.

VST CoffeeTools™ enables professional and home users to accurately calculate optimal brewing formulas for coffee and espresso using any brewing method. When paired with a coffee refractometer (not included), VST CoffeeTools uses measurements of brew formulas and coffee TDS to determine normalized extraction yield, an essential metric for achieving the perfect cup of coffee and espresso.

Coffee Brewed to Gold Cup Standards:

• Utilize VST CoffeeTools™ with a VST coffee refractometer to create brew recipes and assess results according to globally recognized Gold Cup standards set by the Specialty Coffee Associations of America (SCAA), Europe (SCAE), Norwegian Coffee Association (NCA), and European Coffee Brewing Center (ECBC).

Communicate:

• Easily share brewing recipes and measurements via email with customers, clients, and colleagues for clear and detailed communication of all brewing parameters. The tool supports full database sorting, import, and export functionality.

Coffee Mode:

• VST CoffeeTools™ for Coffee equips professional baristas and specialty roasters with the necessary tools to analyze, improve, and optimize any brewing technique for exceptional coffee production.
• Supports metric, English (U.S. Custom), or mixed units, as well as weight and volume conversions.
• Compatible with all drip and immersion brewing methods, working seamlessly with any VST Coffee refractometer displaying % TDS to 0.01% – temperature corrected for coffee. Recommended accuracy: +/- 0.05% or better.
• Save, share, import measurements and details such as TDS, Ext Yield, Dose, Brew Formula, CO2, Moisture, Brew Time, Brew Method, Temperature, Pre-Infusion, Grinder/Setting, Roaster, Roast Style, Farm/Farmer, Barista Name/Notes, and more.
