What is a refractometer?
A refractometer is a device that can provide valuable information about the extraction process and the quality of the brewed coffee, it determines the amount of dissolved solids (TDS) based on the refraction of light as it passes through a liquid - essentially, how concentrated the coffee is. Different coffee-to-water ratios, grind sizes, brew times, and other variables can influence the TDS and thus the taste of the coffee. By understanding how these variables impact extraction, you can fine-tune brew methods to achieve consistent and desirable flavour profiles.
Coffee beans contain about 30% soluble substances, once we know the TDS value, we are able to calculate the extraction yield, i.e. how much coffee we removed from the roasted beans. An ideal extraction is between 20-25%.
