Water conductivity
Also known as conductivity · EC · conductividad eléctrica · µS/cm
What it is and what sets it apart: EC estimates ions—not identical to gravimetric TDS or split GH/KH, but useful for water batches. Distinct from beverage TDS.
How it’s used or measured: Use a calibrated EC meter on starting water. Convert to ppm only with the meter’s factor. Log water EC in Brew Lab, not cup TDS.
Flavours and cup impact: Very low EC ≈ distilled quirks; very high ≈ heavy minerals. Benefit: catch tap/filter drift.
Technical notes: EC→TDS factors vary. For fine recipes still measure GH/KH.
Common mistakes: Treating EC as espresso TDS. Uncalibrated meters. Ignoring temperature effects.
