I suppose this might be useful for making full-auto coffee machines that can self-adjust parameters like grind size, water:coffee ratio, tamping strength (for espresso style machines) etc. Although there's plenty of things to measure already, they don't really directly check correct brewing. This could help improve a lot.
It took me a few vids to warm up to his presentation style and the production style, but now anyone else doing coffee vids seems like a total amateur/influencer/YT rusher. Early Hoffman coffee competitions were the proof point for me that he’s not simply an influencer entrant.
His presentation still is still a bit forced and orchestrated to me, but at least I believe he’s smart and has interest in the craft.
The title says "quality" but the summary seems to say it only measures the "strength" oand "darkness of roast". Certainly won't measure how good it tastes. Given these are the two properties purportedly measured, I imagine you'd get the same results regardless of tastiness and age of the coffee or beans.
Waiting for him to appear in the YouTube shorts Brooklyn Coffee shop now I think about it.
