Brew parameters

Yield

Also known as yield · beverage weight · peso en taza · output · yield espresso

Peso de bebida / yield controlado con balanza

What it is and what sets it apart: Yield is how much liquid you get. Espresso uses it with dose in brew ratio. Distinct from extraction yield %.

How it’s used or measured: Weigh the cup and stop at target grams. In filter it often tracks poured water minus retention. Log yield in Brew Lab.

Flavours and cup impact: More yield dilutes strength if extraction doesn’t rise; less concentrates. Benefit: precise shot control.

Technical notes: Specialty weighs grams, not seconds alone.

Common mistakes: Stopping only by time. Calling EY% “yield”. Confusing with dose.
