Strength is the concentration measured as TDS; extraction yield combines beverage mass, TDS and dose. Current SCA Brewing Chart research also shows that sensory attributes do not fit one universal sour/under or bitter/over zone. The coach is a transparent preference heuristic, not a diagnosis.
Conflict is an answer
If symptoms oppose each other, CupTune asks for another controlled brew instead of manufacturing a confident adjustment.
Questions before the next brew
Does CupTune upload my brew journal?
No. Recipes, timer state, bean details, measurements and notes stay in this browser unless you explicitly export a file.
Does CupTune decide whether coffee tastes correct?
No. It keeps measurements comparable and suggests one controlled change; taste remains your preference.
Can I use the tools offline?
After one successful load, the application shell and authored routes are cached. Advertising, analytics and email links can be unavailable without blocking the tools.
Why does extraction yield require TDS?
Extraction yield needs a measured dissolved-solids value. CupTune will not invent one from roast, colour, method or taste.
