How the simulator models AeroPress extraction
The AeroPress combines immersion and manual pressure. It is the most versatile method in the simulator, with six active parameters. Learn how each variable affects extraction and the sensory profile.

Cold Brew is the most different method in the simulator: no heat, just time. Learn how grind, ratio, steep hours and fridge temperature determine extraction and the sensory profile.
Espresso is the reference method in the simulator. Understanding how each variable moves the extraction index and the flavor radar helps you build intuition for adjusting real recipes.

ContactAn educational heuristic based on extraction theory. Useful to understand whether your recipe will lean more acidic, more bitter, or fuller-bodied.
State: Balanced · Style: Espresso
Classic balance: a good mix of intensity, sweetness and clarity.
Flavor profile
Acidity · Sweetness · Bitterness · Astringency · Body
Estimated extraction
54/100
18g → 36g (1:2.0)
Estimated time: 32s
Extraction map
≈ Espresso
Zone: Balanced
Sweet spot for espresso: sweetness and clarity with good intensity.
Note: This is an educational heuristic, not a physical measurement.
Quick presets
Tip: light roasts tend to punish underextraction more, while dark roasts bring bitterness earlier.
