Café water diagnose
Punch in what you measured on strips or titration kits—we map it into the fuzzy cognitive graph extracted from Water for Coffee (Dashwood & Hendon, 2025) and summarise what tends to happen to flavour and hardware. This is explanatory modeling, not chemistry lab results. When you absolutely need ions quantified—especially with softeners mixed in—bring us the lab printout.
Important limitation: the book emphasizes a cliff around acid-to-buffer balance; tanh diffusion in our map smoothes cliff edges numerically. Whenever your treated alkalinity rides the outer thirds of typical cafe ranges, assume small recipe moves can punch above their weight.
Enter your test results below in Water Test Measurements once you've got them. Want to download a worksheet you can print, run pulls in your lab against that checklist, then bounce back here? Same café water audit PDF I use onsite — grab it (free), same signup as the main testing page.
