VST LAB Coffee III Refractometer Kit with Case

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.
