## What is Extraction?

There is a moment in every espresso shot where everything aligns. The right dose, the right grind, the right time. Extraction is built for the people who chase that moment every morning.

Designed for the home barista who takes their craft seriously, Extraction turns your daily ritual into a precision practice. Log every shot with a full-screen dial-in timer that guides you through pre-extraction, the sweet window, and the moment to stop. Watch the extraction arc sweep in real time and feel the haptic signal when you hit the perfect window. Every pull becomes data. Every session becomes understanding.

Your bean library tracks every coffee you own, want, or have loved. Scan a bag with your camera and Extraction reads the label — roaster, origin, process, variety — and generates a personalised starting recipe using AI trained on specialty coffee knowledge. As thousands of shots are pulled across the community, those recipes get sharper. The confidence score on every recommendation tells you exactly how many real pulls back it up.

Freshness is everything in specialty coffee. Extraction tracks your beans from order to archive — when they arrived, when they hit their peak window, how many shots you have left before the bag runs out. You will never run out of coffee unexpectedly again.

Your equipment shapes every cup. Track your machines, grinders, and accessories, and over time Extraction shows you which combinations produce your best work. Your taste profile builds quietly in the background — learning your favourite origins, processes, and flavour attributes from the shots you rate highest.

The analytics go deeper than any spreadsheet. Extraction time trends, rating patterns, coffee breakdowns, daily streaks, and an AI coaching insight updated weekly that reads your data and tells you the one thing most likely to improve your next shot.

This is not a logging app. It is a practice.

Extraction Pro unlocks unlimited shots, all brew methods including V60, Chemex, AeroPress, French press and more, AI bag scanning, full analytics history, bean lifecycle management, equipment performance intelligence, AI coaching, peak freshness alerts, cost per shot tracking, and data export. Begin with a 14 day free trial, no card required.
Every shot. Every dial. Every morning.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.5.0 — 2026-08-22

Extraction now learns your taste.

• Recipes that learn — rate a brew and tell us if it ran sour, balanced, or bitter. Your next recipe for that coffee starts from your own best shots and corrects in the right direction, instead of starting from scratch.
• Repeat last brew — yesterday's cup is now one tap from the home screen.
• Bag retrospective — finish a bag and see its story: every brew, your dial-in journey, and the recipe worth reordering for.
• Brew anywhere — recipes, timers, and shot logging now work without a connection. Offline brews sync automatically when you're back.
• Sharper, calmer design — better contrast throughout, full VoiceOver support, larger-text support, and a quieter home screen.
• Plus faster navigation, security improvements, and many small fixes.

### 2.3.4 — 2026-05-18

LIGHT MODE
Three modes under Profile → Display → Appearance: System, Light, Dark. Light mode brings the morning-pour-over aesthetic — warm cream paper, espresso text, same amber accent. Existing users keep dark mode automatically.

DRINK PICKER
Every espresso shot now declares its drink — Espresso, Ristretto, Lungo, Americano, Long Black, Cortado, Piccolo, Macchiato, Flat White, Cappuccino, Latte, Mocha. Recipes are drink-aware: a Cortado wants the shot to cut through 45ml of microfoam; a Lungo wants a longer ratio. Shot history shows the drink name as the lead descriptor.

FORGOT PASSWORD
The sign-in screen now has a Forgot Password link. Enter your email, tap the link, set a new password without leaving the app.

SAGE / BREVILLE WORKFLOWS
Grinder field hides for Sage machines with built-in grinders when you haven't added an external one. The grind setting input adapts to your actual rig — no more meaningless numbers when there's no grinder context. AI recipes now respect 54mm vs 58mm portafilter sizing. Stepless grinders (Varia VS6, Eureka Atom, Compak collar grinders, and 30+ more) now dial in 0.1 increments instead of integers.

COLD START
Splash holds until your profile loads so returning users don't see new-user copy during the data fetch.

QUALITY-OF-LIFE
• Large-text accessibility fixes on home — labels truncate cleanly at Largest text size.
• Manage Subscription button no longer throws on unusual iOS configurations.
• Sage machines added in older app versions that displayed as "Unknown" now show their proper model name.

### 2.2.0 — 2026-05-04

Pressure, on the curve.

v2.2 brings the espresso shot itself onto the page. Pair a Bookoo Espresso Monitor over Bluetooth and live pressure streams alongside your Acaia weight, captured packet-by-packet for the entire shot.

BOOKOO ESPRESSO MONITOR SUPPORT
• Pair once, then live pressure auto-streams at 10 Hz the moment you open the brew screen for an espresso shot. Pressure bar mounts above the timer alongside the scale.
• Every shot now persists a pressure timeseries — curve replay ships in v2.2.x.
• Self-discovering BLE — works across firmware revisions without hardcoded UUIDs.

SAGE / BREVILLE MACHINES, RECIPE-AWARE
• Full Sage espresso lineup in the catalogue with accurate capability data: Bambino, Bambino Plus, Barista Express, Express Impress, Pro, Touch, Touch Impress, Oracle Jet, Oracle Touch, Oracle Dual Boiler, Dual Boiler (BES920).
• AI recipes are now Sage-model-aware. A Bambino recipe respects the fixed brew temp; a Dual Boiler recipe gives you specific pre-infusion durations and brew temps because that's a knob you actually have.

BREW TEMPERATURE IN ESPRESSO RECIPES
• Espresso recipes now include a tuned brew temp, surfaced as an eyebrow chip above dose/grind. Light roasts pull at 92–96°C, medium at 91–93°C, dark at 88–90°C.

QUALITY-OF-LIFE
• Font size — three options under Profile → Display. Changes apply instantly.
• Brew and Scan screens stay awake the entire session.
• Brew screen opens with your equipment already loaded — no more flash.
• Pour-over zone label respects the method's actual target time.
• Acaia auto-reconnect falls back to scan when iOS invalidates the cached pairing.
• Bluetooth connect attempts time out cleanly with a tap-to-retry instead of spinning forever.

BUG FIXES
• Saved brews on grinders with sub-step precision (Varia VS6, K-Ultra) no longer crash on save.
• Equipment catalogue auto-corrects category mismatches.
• Profile changes propagate instantly across the app.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-04-23

Version 2.0 — the craft, deepened.
Extraction becomes a brewing partner. Pair an Acaia scale and your
brew runs itself: tare, timer, first-drip, and yield all without a
tap. Every pour captures a curve, plotted against your best prior
shot of the same bean.
A tactile rotary dial for grind. A precision reel for dose. Both
with a sweet-spot arc tuned to your specific grinder — we backfilled
157 models with their native scale and per-method recommendations.
Storage-aware freshness. Tell us how your bag lives — Airscape,
vacuum canister, freezer — and the gauge adjusts. Freeze a bag,
time pauses. Thaw it, it resumes.
Every coffee keeps a personal history. Open a bean to see every
brew you've made with it, with a replay button that loads the exact
recipe again.
150+ curated specialty roasters, auto-linked when you scan a bag.
Six new brew methods covered by the AI barista: pour-over, kalita,
cold brew, siphon, Turkish, phin.
Thanks for brewing with us.

### 1.3.6 — 2026-04-20

Pour Over and Hybrid are now properly unlocked for Pro subscribers.

A small but important fix: these two brew methods were incorrectly flagged as locked for paying users. You're back to having all of Extraction's brew methods at your fingertips.
