## What is Good Espresso for Decent?

Good Espresso is a complete espresso engineering platform — full Bluetooth machine control, real-time extraction monitoring, automatic shot recording, ML-powered quality scoring, programmable brewing profiles, multi-brand scale integration, and a GPU-accelerated computational fluid dynamics puck simulator — all in one native Apple app.

BLUETOOTH MACHINE CONTROL
Connect to any Decent DE1, DE1+, DE1PRO, or DE1XL over Bluetooth LE. Start and stop espresso, steam, flush, hot water, and descale. Adjust brew and steam temperatures in real time. Upload custom pressure and flow profiles directly to the machine. Sleep, wake, and monitor state from anywhere in range. Run calibration, cleaning, and descaling routines.

REAL-TIME EXTRACTION MONITORING
Live pressure, flow, and temperature gauges update during every shot. A dual-axis extraction chart plots pressure and flow against time so you can watch channeling and pressure ramps as they happen. Three-point temperature tracking: group head, mix circuit, and steam boiler. Automatic shot recording captures full telemetry the moment brewing starts.

17 BREWING PROFILES + FULL EDITOR
11 espresso profiles (E61 Classic, E61 High Temperature, Lever Blooming, Turbo, Advanced Pressure, Ristretto, Slayer Style, Allonge, Dark Roast, Light Roast, Flow Adaptive) and 6 pulse-brew tea profiles (Green, Black, White, Oolong, Pu-erh, Herbal Tisane) with gongfu-style steep/pulse cycles. Build your own: up to 20 steps per profile with pressure, flow, or steep mode, per-step temperature, transition type, and exit conditions (time, weight, pressure, flow). Search, filter, favorite, duplicate.

SHOT HISTORY & ANALYTICS
Every extraction is saved with full data points (pressure, flow, temperature, weight), duration, dose, yield, ratio, star rating, and tasting notes. An on-device ML pipeline built on Apple's Accelerate framework (vDSP) scores each shot 0–100 across four components: pressure stability, flow consistency, temperature control, and extraction efficiency — then generates grind adjustment suggestions and channeling probability. 12 customizable analytics cards including score timeline, shot comparison, trend charts, and weekly progress.

BLE SCALE INTEGRATION
Auto-detects Acaia, Bookoo, Felicita, Decent, Hiroia, Timemore, Skale, and generic BLE scales. Real-time weight display with flow-rate calculation, auto-tare on shot start, and auto-stop at target weight.

PUCK SIMULATION — GPU-ACCELERATED CFD (PREMIUM)
A real computational fluid dynamics engine solving Darcy's law with Kozeny-Carman permeability on a 76,800-cell grid via Metal compute shaders. Full transient extraction: 80 time-steps modeling wetting fronts, puck swelling, channel formation, fines migration, and viscosity feedback. 12+ interactive parameters, 5 visualization modes, and a 3D volumetric renderer. The same porous-media physics used in hydrology and reservoir simulation — on your phone.

$2.99/month with a free 7-day trial.

NATIVE ON iPHONE, iPAD, AND MAC
Tab bar on iPhone, sidebar on iPad and Mac. Adaptive dashboard. Drag-to-reorder tabs. Dark mode. VoiceOver accessible. Apple Watch companion.

### 3.0 — 2026-04-08

GOOD ESPRESSO 3.0 — MAJOR UPDATE

Puck Simulation — Full Transient CFD
The simulation engine now runs a complete 80-step transient extraction over 40 seconds — modeling pre-infusion wetting fronts, exponential puck swelling, self-reinforcing channel formation and erosion, progressive fines migration, and temperature-driven viscosity decay. Smooth 60 fps playback with linear field interpolation. Expanded 3D view with larger aspect ratio on iPad and Mac.

On-Device ML Shot Intelligence
New shot trend analysis on the Home screen: a machine-learning pipeline scores every extraction, tracks improving/stable/declining trends across your shot history, and displays a sparkline of recent scores — all computed locally on Apple Silicon via Accelerate (vDSP).

12-Card Analytics Dashboard
Fully customizable analytics dashboard with score timeline, shot comparison overlay, pressure/flow/temperature trends, score distribution, shot duration, profile ranking, best shots, channeling rate, and weekly progress. Tap the info button for a comprehensive reference explaining every metric, algorithm, and detection threshold.

Comprehensive User Manual
In-app guide covering getting started, brewing a shot, control tab, analytics, puck simulation physics, scales and accessories, and customization — accessible from Settings.

Tab Reordering
Drag-to-reorder your navigation tabs in Settings. Your custom order persists across launches.

Accessibility
VoiceOver labels on all sliders, temperature readouts, status badges, live gauges, and navigation elements.

macOS & iPad Improvements
Connection sheet now presents correctly on Mac. Improved sidebar navigation, explicit frame constraints on all sheets, and better adaptive layouts for wide displays.

Signing & StoreKit Fixes
Physical iPhone devices now appear as build destinations. StoreKit sandbox transactions work without iCloud login prompts during development.

### 2.0 — 2026-02-26

• Bluetooth connection to Decent machines
• Real-time extraction monitoring
• 17 professional brewing profiles
• Pulse-brew tea profiles
• Shot history and rating
• Complete machine controls
• Mac Catalyst & iPad Sidebar: Full NavigationSplitView sidebar on iPad and Mac. No more tab bar on wide screens — switch between Home, Profiles, Control, History, and Settings from a proper sidebar.
• Easy Profile Editing: Edit button is now front and center on every profile. Custom profiles get a direct "Edit Profile" button; built-in profiles get "Duplicate & Edit" to create your own version in one tap.
• Improved macOS Layout: Content no longer stretches across ultra-wide windows. Cards and controls cap at sensible widths, the sidebar column is resizable, and the profile visualization adapts to your window size.
• Cross-Platform Fixes: Resolved compatibility issues with List selection, list styles, and system colors across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.

### 1.0 — 2026-02-12
