Features

The DiFluid RS Extract is a professional coffee TDS refractometer made by DiFluid for roasteries, cafés, training labs and field service. It reads a sample at whatever temperature it arrives, from 4 to 65 °C, so there is no cooling step. It measures 0–30% TDS at ±0.02% precision, calculates extraction yield on its 3.5-inch colour touchscreen and keeps 500 readings on the instrument. It is IP67-rated and runs 13 hours per charge.

Read it hot, with no cooling step

Pour the sample straight from the brew, close the magnetic lid and press Test. Cooling Curve Compensation measures the temperature of the sample and of the room and calculates where the reading will settle, so the same single press works at 8 °C or 64 °C. There is no pipette rinse, no waiting for the sample to cool and no evaporation creeping into the result. Cold brew straight from the fridge, filter a minute after the kettle and an espresso shot are all read with one procedure.

Filter and espresso on one instrument

The 0–30% TDS range covers a filter brew at 1.15% and an espresso at 12% without switching modes or devices. Accuracy is ±0.02% TDS up to 4.99%, ±0.04% from 5.00 to 20.00% and ±0.06% from 20.01 to 30.00%, on a refractive index resolved to 0.00002. A reading takes under 4 seconds for a sample near room temperature; hot or iced samples take a little longer.

Extraction yield on the screen

Enter the dose and the beverage weight on the touchscreen and RS Extract calculates extraction yield beside the TDS figure. The brew control chart plots strength against extraction, and you can switch it between percolation, immersion and hybrid so the target box matches your brewer. Bean moisture and residual CO2 can be entered to correct a single measurement.

Averages, records and dial-in

Read the same sample again and the screen shows the average of the run with the spread beside it, so one stray sample never becomes your TDS. Five hundred readings stay on the instrument, each with its date, temperature and extraction, and you need no phone to take a reading or look one up later.

Record the pour with a DiFluid scale

Pair a DiFluid Microbalance scale over Bluetooth and RS Extract graphs the water, the flow rate and the time live while you pour. When the brew ends it reads the beverage weight from the scale and combines it with the TDS reading to give the extraction yield.

Built for the bar, the lab and the van

The IP67 body can be rinsed under the tap. A 3,000 mAh battery gives 13 hours of continuous measuring and 16 hours on standby, charged over USB-C, and the instrument works in rooms from 5 to 45 °C. The deepened sample well is easy to pour into, the magnetic lid seals it during a reading and doubles as a dust cap, and rebuilt heat dissipation keeps the tenth reading in a row as consistent as the first.

Linked to CoffeeOS

Over Bluetooth, the CoffeeOS app finds RS Extract by name with no pairing code, links each reading to the bean, roast and brew it came from, and installs firmware updates.

Switch it on, animated through three sequences: first power-up, holding the Test button from off to the 3.5-inch colour screen and READY in about three seconds; a firmware update pushed from CoffeeOS from 0 to 100%; and power off by holding the same button, with the 500 readings kept on the device Choose your zero, animated: zero against distilled water for figures you share or against your brewing water to see only what the coffee added; water poured into the deep sample well, Zero tapped on the four-tile menu and confirmed, then zeroing to 0.00% TDS with the sample temperature and a five-decimal refractive index Measure it hot, animated: weighing the server, 15.0 g of grounds, the pour and 198 g of brew; the hot sample on READY with no cooling step; testing; then the result screens: 1.54% TDS at 27.3 °C, the on-device extraction calculator, the brew control chart at 20.33% extraction, moisture and CO₂ corrections, percolation, immersion and hybrid target ranges and the on-device brewer category guide Sample a shot, animated in four steps: a double espresso in a steel cup, drawn warm into a syringe, pushed through a syringe filter, and tested on RS Extract at whatever temperature it arrives; the same 0–30% TDS range covers filter at 1.15% and espresso at 12% Record the pour, animated in thirteen steps: with a DiFluid scale paired over Bluetooth, Measure becomes Brew & Test; scan, pair, enter the 15.1 g dose once, start the brew, watch water and flow rate graph live through the bloom and the pours, confirm brewing complete at 238.3 g in 02:12, and go straight into the brew control chart Try every menu, animated: the four tiles Measure, Zero, History and Settings; a reading of 1.54% TDS and its 20.33% extraction figure; a zero at 0.00%; 500 records in history; eight settings, four on-device languages (English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean), multiple measurements averaging four readings at SD 0.00, twelve-step display light, auto off, device info with firmware V001-033; and a factory reset that clears all 500 records, powers off and restarts at READY In CoffeeOS, animated through four workflows: connect by name with no pairing code and push new firmware over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth; Brew Controller for a V60 session, where Test drops 1.54% TDS and 20.3% extraction straight into the chart; the espresso chart rebuilt around 7–23% TDS and filled the same way; and Device Center, renaming a unit and setting its language, display and auto off from the phone, synchronized both ways

FAQ

What is the DiFluid RS Extract?

The DiFluid RS Extract is a professional coffee TDS refractometer made by DiFluid. It measures total dissolved solids from 0 to 30% at ±0.02% TDS precision, reads samples at any temperature from 4 to 65 °C without cooling them, and calculates extraction yield on its 3.5-inch colour touchscreen. It stores 500 readings on the instrument and connects to the CoffeeOS app over Bluetooth.

Do I need to cool the coffee before measuring it?

No. RS Extract reads samples from 4 to 65 °C. Cooling Curve Compensation measures the sample and the room temperature and calculates where the reading will settle, so you pour the sample straight from the brew, close the magnetic lid and press Test. Measure within a minute of the brew finishing for the most consistent result.

Can it measure espresso as well as filter coffee?

Yes. The 0–30% TDS range covers both filter coffee and espresso on one procedure. Espresso carries more oils and fines, so pass it through a 0.45 µm PES syringe filter before measuring; the syringe filter is sold separately. Immersion brews such as cold brew or French press are filtered through paper first.

How does RS Extract differ from the DiFluid R2 Extract?

RS Extract reads samples from 4 to 65 °C, where R2 Extract reads from 20 to 40 °C and needs hot samples cooled first. RS Extract also adds a 3.5-inch colour touchscreen, extraction yield, averaging and 500 stored readings on the instrument instead of in a phone app, a magnetic sealing lid, a 3,000 mAh battery with 13 hours of continuous measuring, and a 5–45 °C operating range.

Does it need a phone or an app to work?

No. Readings, extraction yield, the brew control chart, averaging and the 500-reading history all run on the instrument itself. The CoffeeOS app is optional: it links each reading to the bean, roast and brew it came from, and installs firmware updates over Bluetooth.

What should I zero it with?

Zero with distilled or deionised water when you share the figure with others, because the reference stays fixed over time. Zero with your own brewing water to see only what the coffee added. RO-filtered water also works. Zeroing about once a week is enough in most places, more often where temperature and humidity swing.

Is a USB power adapter included?

No. RS Extract comes with a USB-C charging cable but no wall adapter. Any USB power adapter rated at 5 V / 0.8 A charges it fully in about 4 hours, and you can keep using the instrument while it charges.

Which scales can it connect to?

RS Extract connects over Bluetooth to DiFluid Microbalance scales. With a scale paired, it graphs water, flow rate and time live during the pour and reads the beverage weight automatically to calculate extraction yield.

Is it waterproof?

RS Extract is rated IP67, so the sample well can be rinsed under the tap and dried with a cloth. Do not use alcohol, acetone or other harsh cleaners on the body or the measurement window, and do not leave coffee standing in the well.

Can it measure liquids other than coffee?

No. RS Extract is designed and calibrated to measure coffee only. Measuring other liquids is not supported and may affect its performance or damage the device.
