The PAL-COFFEE is a fun gadget that enables you to check the mouthfeel of coffee at a glance. The yield, the amount of coffee extracted from the grounds, is monitored while the recipe for the particular type of bean is being perfected. Being a numerical parameter, the yield is a reliable tool for recreating the same flavor every time. Needless to say, the yield alone cannot capture all the aspects of the coffee’s taste.
Cupping, the sensory evaluation of coffee, addresses such complex characteristics as the body, flavor, aroma, and aftertaste. The yield, specifically, is closely related to the acidity and bitterness.  Poorly brewed coffee may taste burnt or have an underdeveloped, sour flavor.
The PAL-COFFEE ultimately helps to express and control the acidity and bitterness of coffee by measuring its Brix/concentration, which is used to calculate the yield.
