VST CoffeeTools for iPhone vs Smart Espresso Profiler

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). COMMUNICATE •Recipes & Measurements can be eMailed and shared with customers, clients and colleagues for quick, detailed communication of all brewing parameters. Full database sorting, import and export is supported. COFFEE MODE •VST CoffeeTools™ for Coffee offers professional baristas and specialty roasters the tools to design, measure, diagnose and refine any brew method to ensure excellence in coffee brewing. •Metric, English (U.S. Custom) or mixed units, and conversions of weights and volume is fully supported. •Compatible with all drip and immersion brewing methods and works with any VST Coffee refractometer displaying % TDS to 0.01% – temperature corrected for coffee. Accuracy recommended: +/- 0.05% or better. •Save, share, import measurements and details, including TDS, Ext Yield, Dose, Brew Formula, CO2, Moisture, Brew Time, Brew Method, Temperature, Pre-Infusion, Grinder/Setting, Roaster, Roast Style, Farm/Farmer, Barista Name/Notes and much more. COFFEE LITE MODE (discontinued) ESPRESSO MODE •VST CoffeeTools™ for Espresso offers professional baristas and specialty roasters the tools to design, measure, diagnose and refine espresso extraction. •Eliminate sour or bitter shot defects by making adjustments to quickly dial in measured Extraction Yield. •Presets for Single, Double or Triple shots as Normale, Lungo or Ristretto can be loaded and custom preset for personal preferences. •Works with any VST Coffee refractometer displaying % TDS to 0.01% or 0.1% – temperature corrected for coffee. Accuracy recommended: +/- 0.1 % TDS or better. •Save, share, import measurements and details, including TDS, Yield, Dose, Brew Formula, Shot Time, Temperature, Pressure, Pre-Infusion, Grinder/Setting, Roaster, Roast Style, Farm/Farmer, Barista Name/Notes and much more. SUGAR MODE • Sugar mode allows beverage industry professionals to measure Sucrose, Glucose, Fructose and Invert Sugars at any temperature from 15-40 Deg C for use in concentrates and related sugar-based beverages. •Simply enter Refractive Index and Temperature from any refractometer to compute and displays all values for Specific Gravity, Density, Total Weight, Mass Fraction and Dry Substance weight. •VST CoffeeTools™ for Sugars is accurate to +/- 0.00003 nD per ICUMSA Tables (1998 & 2000). Final accuracy depends on accuracy of instrument. CORN MODE •CORN mode allows beverage industry professionals to measure High Fructose Corn Syrups HFCS42 and HFCS55 at any temperature from 10-50 Deg C for use in concentrates and related HFCS-based beverages. •Simply enter the Refractive Index and TEMP from any refractometer to compute and displays all values for Specific Gravity, Density, Total Weight, Mass Fraction and Dry Substance weight. •VST CoffeeTools™ for CORN Syrups has been tested against the Corn Refiners Association tables for syrup composition, and is fit to be accurate to better than +/- 0.0001 nD and less than +/- 0.02 % Mass Fraction. Final accuracy depends on accuracy of instrument.

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.
