KYS Pro Baker 10

The standard 10 L KYS is rated for 1.3 to 6.4 kg of dough at 60 to 80% hydration. It suits repeated group batches better than small home tests. The 10 Plus is the better fit if you need sub-kilogram dough.

How the calculator uses this mixer

Water temperature. Its friction factor is 11. To reach 24°C dough in a 22°C kitchen, the calculator asks for water at 12°C, against 24°C when mixing by hand.
Batch size check. At 60% hydration, the calculator flags batches over 6.4 kg. For a 50% biga, the limit drops to 4.5 kg. Under 1.3 kg, it warns that the batch is too small.
Hydration range. Its maker publishes 60–80%, so the calculator flags doughs outside that range.
