Description

VST LAB Coffee III Refractometer Kit with Case

Updated Version III unit with improved temperature resolution, precision, accuracy and battery life.

Improve your coffee without the guesswork using a VST Coffee/Espresso Refractometer. Put simply, a coffee refractometer analyses a sample of your coffee and returns the percentage of 'total dissolved solids' (%TDS) in the sample. When this result is entered into VST's purpose-built VST Coffee Tools application, you can see exactly where your sample sits relative to the 'ideal' extraction, and therefore what you need to change to correct it! Farewell trial-and-error changes to correct grind and extraction time - the VST Coffee Tools software (included in the starter pack) graphs the extraction yield so you can visualize the data, and adjust precisely what's needed, for any brewing method! Over-extraction causes bitter taste defects; under-extraction causes sour defects. A coffee refractometer helps you centre the extraction yield, at your preferred strength, so that all of your coffee is extracted to its sweetest potential.

A starter kit (the term used by VST is 'bundle') is the best way to get up and running with a refractometer. It includes everything you need to use the device, while offering big savings on the stand-alone price of the accessories.
