Eight tools, none of them a black box

Coffee tools

Every one shows its formula, labels what it assumed and keeps whatever you type on this device.

Before the kettle boils

New brewer, or a method you have not tried? Read its row on the ratio chart first, then let the calculator turn that ratio into grams for the mug you actually own. Moving the same grinder from a French press to a cone is a grind size question; tap water you suspect is hard is a brew water one.

While it brews, and after

The timer is for hands that are busy with a kettle: large numbers, one step on screen at a time. Once the cup is poured, the journal keeps what happened on this device, and the dial-in guide reads two recorded brews and names a single change for the next one.

For a batch or a café drink

A jar that sits overnight belongs to the cold brew calculator, which also covers diluting a concentrate on the day. A drink built on a shot, from cortado to latte, belongs to the milk drink builder. The caffeine calculator starts from the grams of coffee used, so it can answer for a cup already drunk.

What none of them can do

None of these tools tastes your coffee. They do arithmetic on the figures you give them and say which of their own figures are assumptions, so a surprising result usually means a number was typed wrongly or a scale was not zeroed.
