What we liked

  • + Glass spear tip tests liquids, semi-solids and soft solids without thinning the sample first.
  • + Temperature sensing with automatic compensation, for hot brine or chilled yogurt alike.
  • + Bluetooth app shows and logs readings, so you can review how a ferment's pH changed over time.

Trade-offs

  • - Stated accuracy is 0.1 pH, coarser than the 0.01 pH meters in this guide.
  • - ORAPXI is a little-known brand, so probe life and long-term support are harder to judge.
