Smart Brew® Coffee Water Starter Test Kit

The Smart Brew® Starter Kit is designed to help cafés, roasters, and coffee professionals quickly analyze and manage the mineral composition of water used in coffee brewing. Water chemistry plays a critical role in extraction, flavor balance, and overall cup quality. With Smart Brew®, users can move beyond guesswork and gain accurate, repeatable results in minutes.

Built around the eXact iDip® Smart Photometer with Bluetooth®, the system delivers precise digital readings for the key parameters that impact coffee performance. Results are displayed in the eXact iDip® app, where data can be viewed, stored, and shared for improved consistency and quality control across batches or locations.

The Starter Kit measures essential parameters including pH, alkalinity, hardness, calcium, chloride, sulfate, and total chlorine, while also calculating sodium and magnesium levels to provide a more complete picture of water chemistry. This allows users to dial in water profiles, verify filtration system performance, and troubleshoot water-related extraction issues with confidence.

Designed for speed and ease of use, the Smart Brew® Starter Kit provides a low-cost, portable solution for routine water testing. It also helps identify conditions that lead to scale buildup and corrosion, supporting better equipment performance and reduced maintenance over time.
