A clear answer. Here’s how.

Apparent extraction (%) = beverage mass × measured TDS (%) ÷ dry coffee dose. Also reports beverage/dose mass ratio. Dose must be positive and TDS 0–100. This beverage-only arithmetic does not correct retained liquid, suspended particles or refractometer bias and does not prescribe a taste target.

Apparent extraction yield (%) = beverage mass × TDS (%) ÷ dry dose. Uses measured beverage only, without correcting retained liquid, measurement bias or suspended particles.
