Q3: What is TDS and how does it affect coffee brewing?

A: TDS, or Total Dissolved Solids, is the measure of the combined content of all organic and inorganic substances in water, including minerals, salts, and other dissolved compounds. It plays a significant role in coffee brewing but does not account for water pH, which is also a crucial factor in extraction efficiency. The composition of minerals in the water, which TDS does not measure, can significantly affect the coffee brewing process

Q4: How do the minerals in water affect coffee brewing?

A: The key minerals that impact coffee brewing include calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate. These minerals influence the extraction process, flavor profile, and can have an effect on the coffee brewing equipment. An appropriate balance of minerals and alkalinity can enhance flavor extraction and provide a well-rounded taste, while an imbalance can result in off-flavors and problems with brewing equipment

Q5: Do dark roasts produce more crema than light roasts?

A: Darker roasted coffee might produce a more noticeable crema initially due to the higher CO2 release, oil content, and more soluble compounds. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that darker roasts produce more crema or a better-quality crema than light roasts. The crema’s quality, stability, and volume depend on various factors, including the type of coffee, roast level, and freshness
