The DiFluid R2 Extract is an award-winning digital refractometer for measuring coffee extraction (TDS), with a measurement range of 0-30% TDS, ±0.03% accuracy, ±0.02% precision and 0.01% resolution. It uses a dual 2D CMOS image sensor with two separate temperature sensors and a hydrophobic nano-coated aluminium sample dish for fast, stable readings without a protective cap. The IP67 water-resistant housing includes a rechargeable 430 mAh battery, a large colour display and Bluetooth connectivity to the DiFluid Café App / CoffeeOS for automatic extraction logging across Standard, Multi- and Auto-test modes. Includes USB-C charging cable, sample spoon, microfibre cloth and protective pouch. Dimensions approx. 12 x 12 x 17 cm.

Extraction · Measured

Stop guessing your extraction.
Read it to two decimals.

One drop of coffee, one number. The R2 Extract measures how light bends through your brew to reveal its total dissolved solids — the figure behind extraction yield, balance and repeatability. What used to be a taste-and-hope moment becomes data you can act on.

01

Dual CMOS sensor

A larger dual 2D CMOS image sensor with two temperature sensors reduces stray light and drift for stable, repeatable reads.

02

No cap needed

A hydrophobic nano-coated aluminium dish sheds droplets and conducts heat fast — measure straight away, no protective cap.

03

430 mAh · USB-C

A rechargeable battery in an IP67 water-resistant body — built to live on the bar and take a splash.

04

App-connected

Bluetooth logging to the DiFluid Café app across Standard, Multi- and Auto-test modes — every brew, recorded.

How it works

One drop
to a number.

Refractometry reads how much light bends as it passes through your coffee — the more dissolved solids, the more it bends.

01

Apply a drop

Place a single drop of brewed coffee onto the aluminium sample dish.

02

Sensor reads refraction

Light passes through the drop and the dual CMOS sensor measures exactly how it bends.

03

Read the TDS %

The display shows your TDS, and the app pairs it with extraction yield — logged for next time.

Frequently asked questions

It measures the total dissolved solids (TDS) in a brewed coffee, from 0 to 30%, so you can calculate extraction yield and repeat your best cups — for both filter and espresso.

It reads to 0.01% TDS resolution with ±0.03% accuracy and ±0.02% precision, using a dual 2D CMOS image sensor and two temperature sensors for stable, repeatable results.

Yes. It connects over Bluetooth to the DiFluid Café app, where readings are logged automatically and paired with extraction calculations across Standard, Multi- and Auto-test modes.

Place a drop of brewed coffee on the aluminium sample dish. The device shines light through it, measures how the light refracts, and shows the TDS percentage — no protective cap required, thanks to the hydrophobic nano-coating.

The box includes the refractometer, a USB Type-C charging cable, a sample spoon, a microfibre cloth and a protective pouch. It runs on a rechargeable 430 mAh battery, and the IP67-rated housing is water-resistant.
