A Brewing Aid, Not Certified Advice

Content and tools on Agitative, including the Coffee-to-Water Ratio Calculator, Grind Size Guide, Brew Timer, TDS & Extraction Yield Calculator, Caffeine Estimate Calculator, and Bloom Timer, are for educational and informational purposes only and are not a substitute for guidance from your equipment’s manufacturer, a trained barista, or a coffee-quality certification body such as the Specialty Coffee Association. They do not constitute professional brewing, food-safety, or medical advice of any kind. The figures our tools provide are general estimates based on widely used brewing conventions and the values you enter, not guarantees of taste, strength, or safety.

Results Are Estimates, Not Lab Measurements

Our calculators apply standard brewing formulas — including the SCA Extraction Yield formula used by the TDS & Extraction Yield Calculator — to the values you enter, and round results for readability. Actual results depend on factors the tools cannot measure directly, including:

• Bean & Roast Factors: Origin, variety, roast level, and freshness all shift how a bean tastes and how much caffeine or soluble material it contains.
• Equipment Factors: Grinder consistency, kettle temperature, and brewer design all affect how a given ratio, grind, or bloom time actually performs.
• Water Factors: Water hardness and mineral content change extraction and flavor independently of the ratio or grind you choose.
• Measurement Factors: Kitchen scales, refractometers, and timers all carry their own margins of error, which compound in any calculation built on top of them.

Caffeine Estimates Are Not Medical or Nutritional Advice

The Caffeine Estimate Calculator gives a rough planning figure based on a commonly cited average of caffeine per gram of dry coffee. It is not a laboratory measurement, does not account for your specific beans or health circumstances, and must not be used to manage a medical condition, a pregnancy, or a prescribed caffeine limit. If caffeine intake matters for your health, check product packaging or consult a healthcare professional rather than relying on this estimate.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Agitative be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including without limitation damages for a ruined brew, wasted beans, or equipment issues, arising out of or related to your use of our tools and services.
