## Description

A precision tool for baristas to optimize espresso profiles. Use `analyze_extraction` to evaluate current yield and strength, or `calculate_dose_adjustment` to find the exact dose needed to hit a target extraction yield. This MCP connects your AI assistant to professional brewing mathematics.

## Tools

### calculate_dose_adjustment


### validate_extraction_parameters


### analyze_extraction


## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I used 18g of coffee to get 36g of espresso with a TDS of 9%. What is my extraction yield?
```

**Response:** 
```
Your extraction yield is 18.0%, which is considered an ideal extraction.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
My current dose is 20g, but I want to hit a 21% yield with a 40g beverage and 10% TDS. What should my new dose be?
```

**Response:** 
```
To hit a 21% yield, your new dose should be 21.0g, which is an increase of 1.0g.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a 5g dose for a 40g espresso shot with 10% TDS valid?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, that is not a valid extraction as the yield would exceed 100%.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I know if my espresso is underextracted?**
You can use the `analyze_extraction` tool. If the extraction yield is below 18%, the shot is classified as underextracted, which often tastes sour.

**How can I adjust my dose to reach a target yield?**
Use the `calculate_dose_adjustment` tool. Provide your current dose, the target yield, the beverage weight, and the TDS to find the required dose change.

**What is a realistic TDS for espresso?**
Typically, espresso TDS falls between 6% and 12%. You can use `validate_extraction_parameters` to check if your measurements are within reasonable bounds.
