Green, roast, and brew QC checkpoints
How to establish quality control (QC) checkpoints across the coffee supply chain—from green beans, through roasting, to brewing—to ensure consistency and excellence.
Extraction yield
Dose precision and variance control
Why dose precision is critical in brewing, how small errors affect strength and extraction, and strategies for controlling variance in recipes.
Bypass percentages and dilution math
How to calculate and apply bypass water (dilution) in coffee brewing, and how bypass percentages affect strength and extraction perception.
Brew yield vs beverage yield
The distinction between brew yield and beverage yield, and why both matter for accurate recipe design and sensory results.
Golden cup standards and targets
The Golden Cup Standard, how it defines ideal coffee strength and extraction yield, and how to use it as a brewing target.
Data logging and experiment design
How to design structured coffee experiments and use data logging to track variables, extract insights, and improve consistency.
