I personally love technology that isn’t digital. There is something so refreshing about tools that are easy to use, need no battery, have no screen. The refractometer is one of those tools.
This is how easy it is:
1) pick a grape

2) smear its juice on the lens and the lens cover

3) peer through to read the Brix measure, which determines its sugar content
