BEVERAGE YIELD
Beverage yield refers to the weight or volume of a serving of espresso.
When considered alongside the dose weight, beverage yield is part
of the recipe often referred to as the brew ratio, which correlates with
the perceived strength of the espresso (sweetness, acidity, body) and
influences the extraction process. No one knows your coee better
than your roaster and in some cases you are still the best maestro for
conducting great cup experiences. As a baseline Slayer recommends using
a scale or graduated shot glasses to measure 25-40 grams or 1.0-1.5 fluid
ounces of espresso per serving. Begin with 35 grams or 1.25 fluid ounces,
then adjust beverage yield as necessary, noting these rules:
Larger yield (more weight or volume):
• Decreased flavor intensity
• Longer extraction time
Recommended when espresso lacks clarity.
Smaller yield (less weight or volume):
• Increased flavor intensity
• Longer extraction time
Recommended when espresso lacks body.
BREW TIME
Brew time refers to the total duration of extraction. Begin with 25 seconds,
then adjust brew time as necessary, noting these rules:
Longer brew time:
• Higher extraction yield
Recommended when espresso tastes sour.
Shorter brew time:
• Lower extraction yield
Recommended when espresso tastes bitter.
