i want to measure the sweetness level of a cup of coffee. Is this the device i can use for that purpose?

One Brix is one gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution, or 1% w/w or w/v, assuming water is the solvent. 1 tsp of sugar weighs about 5g and 18 oz of coffee is about 30ml, therefore about 17 Brix. So, yes you should be able to use this refractometer for this purpose. Blank the device to water and check the coffee reading and blank the device to unsweetened coffee and measure the sweetened. There is likely to be some refraction reading from the coffee alone versus water and variation between batches of coffee.

This is made for coffee, I wouldn't use it for anything else because it could develop a bad taste of the coffee.

No. The battery wouldn't last that long AND you would not get an accurate reading. I do not use this meter anymore because of the inaccuracies in the levels and pulse readings. I hope I helped you with your question.

If you can find paper filters, let me know. It works pretty well, but here are too many coffee grounds in the cup for me.

The answer is yes, but it's designed for precise measurements at a lower weight and to be portable. I'd consider something more robust unless you need to weigh single servings of rice and sugar on the go.

I purchased 2 of this item; one for sugar and one for creamer ... they both work very well.As there are different options for quantities dispensed, I feel confident this product will work for ground coffee as well.

I tried it for coffee and it does not work very well. Coffee was much weaker than a french press. Same company has a French press that I have my eye on!

This is a great device, the timer is no problem, the scale is accurate. The coffee is excellent

Yes you can. You put the current time and after that you program at what time you would like your coffee to be made :)

Yes, you can use it to measure liquid temperatures. I use mine to measure fudge temps when I am making fudge, and jam temps also. To determine the accuracy of yours, boil a pan of water. When it is boiling vigorously, place the tip of the probe into the water (not touching the pan) and it should read 212 degrees. Use the difference as a correction factor when measuring your liquids.

I would imagine that if it can turn coffee beans to coffee grounds, that it could do the same for most similar items, but I'm honestly not sure. I could try it on mine for you and let you know the results if you'd like, I'm actually selling mine on Amazon.

Yes, it works quite well ... still very satisfied with the consistently good coffee ... good luck ...

This mixer has 5 speeds of very very slow. I think this is only good for stirring the cream into the coffee so ........would work for you

If only are only intending to measure the superficial temperature, (not the inner temperature of the product) then the answer is "YES". I often use this device to check the temperature of the marmalade process to see if the packaging temperature is adequate.

no, you just have to pulse it and check it periodically to see if the consistency is what you want. But it works pretty good. I used it to grind chaga for tea. Look up chaga.

I am currently using it to test my coils and it does work to a reasonable level. It will definitely will tell u if your coil is safe and the rough resistance, but I would not consider it precise enough for the serious vapor.

I haven't tried it but I seriously doubt, given its design, it would be effective with coffee creamer. Powders, especially creamer, tend to clump and would not fill the cavity it uses to measure the amount dispensed
