Hi y’all, I recently made an app for people like me and my husband who like to experiment with their coffee and record dial-in recipes.

Dial In Espresso
https://apps.apple.com/app/dial-in-espresso/id6752831404

It’s free. All data is stored on your device and never shared. In case anyone here finds it useful, I’d love to hear your feedback too!

  1. I tried it and entered the shot I just pulled a few minutes ago.

    I immediately understood how to use it. I recently got a new grinder, so now I’m dialing in several beans and this app is fantastic to keep track of everything. Thank you.

    Great to see some Dallas roasters, I see some White Rock and Eiland bags in there! Any chance you’ve tried Lemma coffee yet?

    thanks a bunch.
    I am still dialing in my new beans 🫘.
    With my new grinder. Shardor 64mm.
    Believe this may help me a lot !

  5. The timing on this post is perfect. I just got an espresso machine yesterday and was wondering how I should track the grind. Thank you

  6. Thanks for making this app! Would be good if we had the option to take a photo on the add picture of beans field, I had to switch to the camera app take a photo then switch back to add a photo.

    Some improvements:

    1g steps for Yield and especially dose are too course for me. At least for the dose, I would want to state 0.1g differences.

    I can not delete shots.

    When adding new shots, it should also take over the shot results from the latest shot, and not only the dial in, as those will probably be similar

    What do you think about some visualization of the shot parameters over time?

    Would be nice to have smaller increments than 1 g

    Thanks!
    I’ve been using a similar app called Doppio for a few months now, and I’m really happy with it. Do you know what the differences are compared to yours, in case you’ve already seen it?

    Does the app offer bluetoooth support for the BooKoo scale?

    I really like the layout and how simple everything is to use but have a couple recs! First, like others have said full gram adjustments are a bit broad. Second, it would be nice to be able to archive a bean once the bag has been finished if it’s one you aren’t going to get again.

    Maybe you should allow letters on Grind Size.

    Nice, I think I’m going start using this regularly over my notes app. I appreciate the clean and usable UI. Thanks

    Love this, it looks fantastic and means I can get rid of my notebook near my machine

    Just needs an android version so I can get going

    Keep up the great work
