## What is Detent Coffee?

Detent scans your coffee bag and tells you exactly how to brew it.

Point your camera at any bag — specialty roast, grocery find, or a gift from a friend — and Detent reads the label, identifies the coffee, and builds a custom grind setting and brew recipe on the spot. Calibrated to that specific bean. Calibrated to your grinder.

SCAN ANY BAG
Detent uses AI to extract what matters from a coffee label: roast level, origin, process, body, and flavor profile. In seconds, you get a grind setting matched to your equipment and a full brew recipe for your chosen method — drip, pour over, AeroPress, French press, espresso, cold brew, moka pot, percolator, Clever Dripper, Turkish, or siphon.

BREW BY HAND, GUIDED
No smart machine? Detent walks you through the pour. Start any manual method for a timed, step-by-step guide — bloom, pours, and pull — with your grind, dose, and water right on screen. Phone on the counter, hands on the kettle.

YOUR COFFEE CABINET
Every coffee you scan is saved automatically. Browse your collection, review brew profiles, and pull up any recipe when you're ready to brew again. Your cabinet grows with every bag you try.

FELLOW AIDEN INTEGRATION
Connect your Fellow Aiden smart brewer and send the brew profile straight to the device. Temperature, timing, pulse pours — pushed with one tap, no manual programming.

BUILT FOR YOUR GRINDER
Choose your grinder in Settings and every scan returns a setting specific to your equipment. Supports 20+ grinders, including Fellow Opus, Comandante C40, Baratza Encore, Timemore Chestnut C3, 1Zpresso J-Ultra, Niche Zero, and Mahlkönig EK43.

Made by illogicalproject, a small independent studio building tools for coffee people who care about the details.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.5 — 2026-07-19

Brew by hand, guided.

Detent now walks you through the pour. Tap Start Brewing on any manual
method for a timed, step-by-step guide — your grind, dose, and water,
hands on the kettle and phone on the counter.

And five new ways to brew: Moka Pot, Percolator, Clever Dripper, Turkish,
and Siphon. Whatever's on your counter, Detent has a recipe and a rhythm
for it.

Plus sharper grind guidance across every brewer.

### 1.1.4 — 2026-06-27

Your Home, reworked.

- A new Home hero shows the last coffee you sent to your Aiden, so you can pick up right where you left off.
- A cleaner "Recently scanned" feed — your full scan history, newest first, with quick access to your whole Cabinet.
- Polish and small fixes throughout.

### 1.1.3 — 2026-06-19

Better coffee, less guessing.

- Smarter grind recommendations across roast levels. Dark roasts now grind finer so they brew balanced, not bitter.
- A calmer, clearer scan and recipe flow, with a redesigned taste profile on every coffee.
- Stability fixes and polish throughout.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-06-09

This one's mostly under the hood — and you'll feel it.

Detent is faster and smoother: the Cabinet and scan screens load quicker, and the recipe step stops doing redundant work, so the whole flow feels snappier from scan to send.

We also tightened security around your connected Fellow account and sharpened accessibility throughout, including better Reduce Motion support.

Nothing you need to do this time — sign in and your cabinet are right where you left them.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-06-04

What's new in 1.1.1

Brew profiles sent to your Fellow Aiden just got a lot better.

Previously, every pulse in a profile ran at the same temperature. Now Detent generates a stepped curve — starting higher during bloom to open the grounds, then stepping down across pulses to pull sweetness without bitterness. The curve is shaped by the coffee you scanned: light washed coffees get an aggressive step-down, dark roasts a gentler one.
If you're brewing with an Aiden, you'll notice the difference immediately.

Heads up: you'll be asked to sign in again after updating. Detent moved to a new developer account (illogicalproject LLC), which resets keychain access. Your cabinet and all saved coffees are stored in the cloud and will be right there when you log back in.
