Why use Stations?

Stations group equipment commonly used together for brewing, such as grinders, espresso machines, and scales.

Utilize Stations to:

• Organize equipment that is frequently used together to brew. 
• Assign and update a Reference Brew per station for the same Recipe. 
• Set a Reference to a location, so Cropster will automatically create default stations for each of the locations you use.

What do we recommend? 

Create a station for each brewing method (e.g., Espresso, Manual, Batch) and group the corresponding equipment.

For multiple espresso or filter brewing stations in one location, create separate stations for each brewing method.

Stations are listed as a separate tab on the Assets overview page.
