  • I do not get any TDS result/the TDS result is unreasonably low, what should I do?

    There are several factors affecting low or zero TDS, such as below:

    1) Coffee/Liquid left inside the buffer tank - 
    Please empty the buffer tank (recommend to rinse with clean water) every time before brewing coffee. If there is coffee residue left inside the buffer tank, the liquid will affect the TDS result in 2 ways: 
    First, the liquid may dilute the coffee and cause lighter result. 
    Second, the liquid may cause the siphon effect to activate earlier than expected. If so, the TDS pins will not be able to collect enough data.

    2) Bad contact
    The connection pins must be clean and dry for good performance. The connection pins are located at the bottom of the buffer tank and on the buffer tank holder. Please beware if there is any coffee or liquid left there. Clean the pins with slightly damp towel.

    3) The cleanliness of glass brewing tank
