What's New in Best Brew Guide

5.0.0

November 5, 2026

Ten years of Filtru. Thank you for being here! Whether you’ve been brewing with me since the beginning or only just found the app, your support means a lot. Every kind email, suggestion and bug report has helped shape Filtru. Version 5 is another big step toward what I’ve always wanted: making good coffee accessible to everyone. I’ve given Filtru a fresh look, with clearer brew guides and illustrated instructions to make getting started a little easier. The app is now fully optimized for iPhone Duo, too. I’ve put a lot of care into this update, and I hope you enjoy it. Navigation is simpler, with three tabs: Brew, Record and Log. Follow a guide, record your own brew, or log one you’ve already made. If you’re looking for Dial In, it now lives in Record. I’m also excited to finally bring you guides for the Hario V60 Switch, ORIGAMI, OREA, Fellow Stagg XF and more. I can’t wait to hear how you get on with them. After ten years, I still love coffee, still get excited about a new brewer, and still have a long list of things I want to make better in Filtru. I want to keep building this app for years to come, listening to what you need and helping more people feel comfortable making their own coffee. You’ve given me the chance to do that, and I’m grateful. There’s plenty more coming over the next few months. Thanks for brewing with me all these years. Happy brewing! Bobby

User reviews

Home coffee finally feels café level with this!

Really like how this takes the guesswork out of making coffee and helps me get a more consistent cup at home. The step by step brew guides are easy to follow and I have learned a lot just by using them.

Home coffee finally feels café level with this!

I love the simplicity and how the step by step guides take all the guesswork out of brewing by walking me through pours and timing. The brew guides make each cup more consistent and you can tweak as you go.
