Making ready to drink cold brew coffee or cold brew coffee concentrate and not currently using a TDS meter?  Chances are you aren't quite sure how strong your coffee really is.  Dial in your coffee recipe and know exactly what you are producing with this handy device.  
Our Cold Brew Coffee and Tea TDS Meter / Brix Refractometer gives you an accurate yet very affordable way for measuring your beverages total dissolved solid levels, and give you the confidence in knowing exactly what you are serving. 

What is a TDS Meter?

A TDS meter will give you a visual of how strong your coffee actually is.  TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) is a measurement used to tell you how much you have extracted from your coffee or tea. 

What Should My Cold Brew TDS Be?

To each is their own when it comes to making coffee.  But a good ready to drink cold brew in our opinion is typically around 1.6 TDS. As you start doing concentrates, this number will get higher.
