Assumptions and limitations
Ratio mode means one volume of concentrate plus the entered water parts. TDS mode approximates equal liquid densities and additive volumes, with zero-solids added water. Input brewing ratio cannot establish concentrate strength. No milk, ice melt or caffeine model. Example: 500 mL at 1:1 needs 250 mL concentrate and 250 mL water.
