Terms of Service

Last updated: 24 September 2026

These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the Brew Bench website and the tools it provides. By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.

1. Nature of the service

Brew Bench provides informational calculators, reference tables and guides related to coffee brewing and sensory evaluation. The service is provided free of charge, without registration, and on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the site at any time without notice.

2. Disclaimer regarding calculation results

All outputs produced by the tools on this site are estimates derived from published brewing conventions, standard formulas and general reference ranges. They are provided for educational and informational purposes only.

  • Results do not account for the specific characteristics of your beans, equipment, water supply or ambient conditions.
  • Recommended temperature, grind, ratio and timing values are starting points to be adjusted by tasting, not prescriptions.
  • We make no warranty that any result is accurate, complete, current or fit for a particular purpose.
  • You are solely responsible for how you use the results, including any handling of hot water, hot equipment, pressurised brewing devices and electrical appliances.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Brew Bench and its contributors accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from reliance on the site, including wasted materials, damaged equipment, personal injury or commercial loss.

3. Acceptable use

You agree to use the site lawfully and not to:

  • attempt to interfere with, disrupt or gain unauthorised access to the site or any related systems;
  • use automated means to scrape, mirror or overload the site in a way that degrades service for others;
  • reproduce site content in a manner that misrepresents its origin or implies endorsement that has not been given;
  • use the site or its content in any way that infringes the rights of others or breaches applicable law.

4. Intellectual property

The site's original text, layout, design, source code and compiled reference tables are protected by copyright and remain the property of Brew Bench unless stated otherwise. You may use the tools freely for personal, educational and internal business purposes, and you may quote short excerpts with attribution and a link to the source page. Systematic republication of substantial portions of the site, or commercial redistribution of its content or code, requires prior written permission.

Coffee industry standards, cupping protocols and brewing conventions referenced on this site remain the property of their respective organisations. References are descriptive and do not imply affiliation with or endorsement by any standards body, roaster or equipment manufacturer. Product and brand names are used for identification purposes only.

5. Third-party links

The site may reference external resources for background reading. We do not control those resources and are not responsible for their content, availability or practices.

6. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the site develops. The revision date at the top of this page indicates the most recent change. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
