PROFESSIONAL COFFEE TOOLS for the BARISTA, SPECIALTY ROASTER and COFFEE BEVERAGE EQUIPMENT DESIGNER

Best New Product SCAA EXPO 2010

VST CoffeeTools™ allows professional and home users to quickly compute proper brew formulas using any method of brewing coffee or espresso. Used with a coffee refractometer (not included) VST CoffeeTools will apply measurements of brew formula and coffee TDS to compute normalized extraction yield – a crucial metric for ensuring the sweetest coffee and espresso.

COFFEE BREWED TO GOLD CUP STANDARDS
•Use VST CoffeeTools™ with any VST coffee refractometer to compute brew recipes and measure results to meet internationally accepted Gold Cup standards as practiced by the Specialty Coffee Associations of America (SCAA) and Europe (SCAE), as well as the Norwegian Coffee Association (NCA) and European Coffee Brewing Center (ECBC).
