Timer does not update

When using chemex, the timer does not update based on grams of coffee or amount of water selected

Changed the game for me

I have coffee every morning and the instruction it gave me for making a French press coffee was brilliant. I have a lovely coffee every morning now and it actually has lowered my caffeine intake throughout the day as a result. Great app

UI Temp Issues

Recipes show Celsius despite preferences set to Fahrenheit. This is a recent issue, broken via update.

Great app, but I fail to see the value

I was looking for a way to simplify my morning brew. I can manage a pour over with the simple timer on the iPhone, but having some step-by-step notifications would make the process a little more “automated”. Unfortunately, to get any further usability you need to pay, which I’m not averse to doing, but the prices are far too high. I’m happy to pay a lifetime fee, but this is just too steep. I’ll either keep looking for something else or go back to the timer app.

I’m happy for all of those that get the value out of the app.

Delicious every time.

The best coffee app!

Bad business choice

I spent hours perfecting my presets. A recent update paywalled them completely. I do not care about history. Locking my hard work is unacceptable. Terrible business choice.

Use it every morning

Great app. Love how it helps me to brew my pour overs everyday

Scale time is bad

I really hate the new feature that changes the time for a recipe when the previous brew took longer. Go back to the old way.

Daily driver for years

Been using Filtru for years and years now maybe since 2020!
I found a bug and reported it first in X/twitter. Bobby immediately addressed the issue.
Thanks for the hard work. Looking forward to see how the app evolves.

Veteran Filtru User

I’ve been using Filtru for at least 10 years. It has become a part of the day. My equipment has changed over the years but my app remains the same.

Fault

When the clock is counted down, the clock covers Dynamic Island ( another app ).

High subscription fees, poor free features

A versatile app with a heavy amount of detail if you want to go that deep. Free version lets you make a brew but you need a pro version to even look at your previous pours. $5 a month or $50 a year is way too much money for what I would use it for.

Suggestion

Would be nice to be able to edit the name of the step. Currently for a custom recipe its limited range of predefined values creates awkward combinations like “Prepare the following: push down the plunger”. And I still need to specify the mass for this step, even though it’s meaningless.

Love this app!

I have made the best cups coffee at home and put some solid coffee shops in my area to shame with the guidance of Filtru!

There are so many options and methods it's such a great way to learn more about the best methods for coffee makers.

I have been using the V60 and Aeropress for this.

Great idea, too pricey

I love the idea of this app. It has many great features, but almost all of them (including espresso) are locked behind a subscription or a very pricey one time purchase. I love the idea but I wish I could have a more affordable option.

Amei ♥️

Que programa incrível, eu usei com meu Aeropress e meu V60 não tem como errar o programa é como se tivesse alguém do seu lado lhe dizendo: coloque a água, agora pare ... continua e cronometra ... em breve pego a versão pró é intuitivo e muito fácil de configurar .. amei

Limited, UI is bad.

Extremely limited, unless you buy a subscription. UI is not very intuitive, and the fonts wont fit the screen properly (iphone 14 Pro). I could connect to a BT scale, but the brew/tare process was confusing. No Hario Switch on methods. I find bean conqueror superior.

Great coffee brewing app with excellent VoiceOver support.

Excellent coffee brewing app with a lot of flexibility and excellent VoiceOver support. The developer always tries making the app accessible and fixes promptly Whatever bugs may pop up and is receptive to feedback and suggestions on how to make the app even more accessible. All and all in great app that I use multiple times a day.

"Free"

App does not fit properly on an iPhone 14 Pro screen, parts of the text and selection boxes sit off to the right with no way to reach them by zooming or moving the view. My settings text is at default minimum size. I could not even test the Pro features because of this. Still searching for a decent espresso tracking app.

Love it

I love the simplicity and how the step by step guides take all the guesswork out of brewing, so I get a great cup of coffee every single time.
