Seriously though, this is the most exciting thing I’ve seen in coffee in the last year, since the release of the original Extract Mojo.As you’ve noted, perhaps the lower entry price will finally convince some that have held back so far to take the plunge.

So from what I can gather after a furious five minutes crawling through the site, costs are as follows:

- refractometer $359 (either coffee or espresso, doesn’t matter now, you can use either one to measure both), although the site says it will work ‘with any refractometer displaying refractive index and temperature or any existing Coffee Refractometer displaying % TDS to 0.01%. Accuracy required: +/- 0.0001 nD or better; 0.1 Deg C or better,’ so I suppose it’s possible there are cheaper options out there. Having used their refractometers before though, I’d be highly inclined to just go with theirs.

- App: free for calibration mode (used with distilled water to calibrate your refractometer). Espresso mode and coffee mode are $29.99 each, in-app purchases.

Grand total cost for measuring both espresso and coffee: $418.98, plus I guess some shipping for the refractometer. BUT consider that this also means you now don’t need a PC either, as many shops don’t have one.

Additionally, the just-released Extract MoJo 2.0 includes the capability to use only one refractometer now (either the espresso or coffee one) to measure both, thus dropping the price of the full coffee and espresso bundle to $599. And you can upgrade the software from either the espresso or coffee version to the v2.0 full coffee & espresso version for $99.

Wow. And on top of all this is the coolness of having the software in my pocket. I’m jealous you’ve had it for so long, David!
