Barista - Coffee Timer

Looks great with the new font! The only thing I wish this app had was a way to see how much of a bag I have left and maybe add a photo as well (like with the Beanconqueror app). I have a coffee subscription so it would also be cool if you could filter (😎) the beans by the attributes you apply to them like country, flavour, or roaster. Making a new recipe or copying an old one is also not intuitive. The ‘scale parameters’ function works in the exact opposite way you would expect it to. It doesn’t actually update the changes to the existing recipe and you can’t actually save the recipe at all. It’s also pretty time-consuming to make a variant of an existing recipe. Want to make a recipe with half the amount of coffee? Create a copy, change the weight of coffee, discover the app maintains the amount of water and not the ratio (neither of which are editable), find out the only way to change this is to update each individual step in the recipe, get out your calculator to calculate manually how much water needs to be in each step, and update the values for every step. Easy! 😂

If you expect me to push down the + button for grams of grind for 20 seconds to get to the desired amount of grams, then you don’t understand UX...that goes for the rest of the edit screen too. Apart from that and missing an Apple Watch app with Siri shortcuts, it is a decent app. But but but that edit recipe screen....

I’ve tried almost every brewing app out there and I’m currently sticking with this one, even with some of its annoying quirks. Great UI, love the timer screen and how it shows the next step (I don’t think any other app has that), and the “past sessions” section is perfect for my needs. The biggest issue I have is having to hit save/confirm after doing pretty much ANYTHING. Typing in a form field and hit the back button? You just lost what you typed. Spend 10 minutes creating your brew steps and hit back without pressing save first? You just lost your entire recipe. At the very least, a confirmation dialog would be much appreciated but ideally things just auto-save like most other apps. Looks like it hasn’t been updated in over a year so I worry that it’s been abandoned, but hopefully not because it really is one of the best brewing apps available.

I love this app! A great coffee journal as well as a recipe book and timer!

This is the best coffee brewing app I have seen and used in the store. It incorporates nearly every feature you can imagine and want for tracking and brewing coffee. Creating recipes are very straight forward and even has built in calculators for popular recipes like the 4:6 method for v60. The developer is also awesome and very willing to try and implement suggestions into new builds. I can't recommend this app enough. Excellent app!

Much better with new update

The recent update is terrific! Really, big thank you for the changes and effort that goes into them. Question: in the last version the screen stayed active when the timer is running, but when I used it today the screen kept timing out. Not sure if that’s deliberate, but if so, an option to disable screen timeout when timer is running would be nice.

This app lets you adjust all the settings. Perfect

I’ve been using this app for awhile now and love how the developer has listened and implemented ideas. It has become easier to use and I love the interface.

Waste of money until I can figure out to change the ratio I want to use... says go back a screen to change... does not work on ratio... probably missing something but how bout a little bit of easy to use!
