Refractometer measurements may be plotted separately using measured total dissolved solids (% TDS) and Beverage amounts to chart and compare actual brew results to design target values. • Conversions for volume and weight measurements and U.S. Standard (English) to Metric units are supported in any combination. Design recipes for Drip can be directly converted to/from Infusion/Immersion methods, while maintaining identical extraction and strength relationships. •Extraction Yield normalization is automatically provided on the VST Universal Brewing Control Chart for all brew methods: Drip, Infusion, Espresso, Cupping; brew water temperature (volume measurements); liquid retained in spent grounds; CO2 & Moisture content of the ground coffee. Defaults are provided for all preferences, and may be customized separately for all modes as required. • A wide array of Presets are provided in all modes of operation that are typical of those found in home and commercial service.

The Smart Espresso Profiler is an easy-to-use tool to record and improve your espresso extractions. It gives all compatible espresso machines capabilities, which were only seen in the most advanced, state-of-the-art devices. Imagine perfectly repeatable pressure- and flow profiling with a modified vintage lever machine, or a modern pump machine, with instant feedback. Now you can log even your Decent Espresso shots on machines equipped with the Group Head Control. Decide whether you go with pressure, or with flow profiling - with the Smart Espresso Profiler, everything is possible. The Smart Espresso Profiler displays and records in real-time the pressure and flow of the coffee extraction, translating this information into pressure and flow graphs. It even informs you about the key indicators (brew ratio, flow rate, etc.) during the brewing process. Record all your experiences with the tasting notes feature, included in the app. Save and share profiles and notes of your favorite extractions. Set an earlier profile as a reference to follow. IMPORTANT: The Smart Espresso Profiler needs a pressure sensor to work, available at https://www.naked-portafilter.com/smart-espresso-profiler/ For flow profiling, and brew weight data, an Acaia Pearl, Lunar, Cinco, Pyxis, a Skale Bluetooth, a Eureka Precisa or a Decent smart coffee scale is needed.
