## What is Kaffedex?

Dial in espresso in 1–2 shots, not 15.

Kaffedex is the espresso companion for baristas and serious home enthusiasts who are tired of wasting beans guessing dose and grind. Log a pull and Kaffedex tells you the next move — dose and grind direction — converging on a great shot in a couple of calibration pulls instead of a dozen throwaways.

DIAL IN FASTER
• Log dose, yield, time, grind setting and basket — get a suggested next pull with a dose and a grind adjustment.
• The reasoning runs fully offline. It reads your actual shots; roast level, varietal and process fine-tune the call.
• Grind advice is shown in your grinder's own clicks or marks AND in plain "finer / coarser" — because no two grinders agree on which way the numbers go.

KNOWS YOUR GRINDER
• Hand-drawn dials for Niche, Timemore, Lagom, EK43, Mazzer, Weber, Acaia Orbit, Zerno and more — including aftermarket burrs.
• Per-burr calibration that sharpens the more you pull.

MEASURE LIKE A PRO
• Extraction dashboard: TDS, extraction yield, and a live shot graph with flow.
• Pair a Bluetooth scale or refractometer to capture weight, time and TDS automatically.

THE CODEX — PRO
• A built-in coffee encyclopedia: 60+ variety stories, processing methods, origin countries with shaded-relief terrain maps, Cup of Excellence farms, and a sensory guide.

LIVES ON YOUR PHONE
• Home-screen widgets and a Live Activity / Dynamic Island shot timer.
• iCloud sync across iPhone and iPad.
• Share any recipe as a scannable card and import a teammate's dial-in in seconds.

Free: up to 4 beans with 20 pulls each, the complete rule-based dial-in engine, every grinder dial, and the full extraction dashboard.

Kaffedex Pro: unlimited beans and pulls, the entire Codex, and AI coaching — turn a taste note like "sour and thin" into a concrete adjustment, plus varietal-aware guidance.

Less guessing. Fewer wasted shots. Better coffee.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-22

Dial in with a goal in mind — and finally compare setups side by side.

TASTE GOALS
• Tell Kaffedex you want the next cup smoother, stronger, or brighter — suggestions steer toward it, for espresso and filter alike.

COMPARE & TRUST YOUR DATA
• New compare graph: records as side-by-side bars, tap any row to set it as the baseline, export as an image.
• Suggestions now only combine shots from a matching setup — same grinder, basket, pressure, and pre-infusion — so mixed gear can’t skew your calibration.
• Correct a logged pull’s grinder or basket after the fact.

RECIPES
• Espresso recipes now appear on the bean and its Codex card, and the bean form can save & create a recipe in one step.
• Import a recipe card’s QR straight from a photo in your gallery — no camera needed.

SMARTER SUGGESTIONS
• Ratio and time bands recalibrated from real pull history, plus origin-aware bean priors and varietal search.
• AI troubleshooting now reasons through a causal taste model — grind, agitation, temperature, ratio (Pro).
• Nine new Codex articles on papers, drippers, and roast vs. grind.

FASTER LOGGING
• Dose-first pull form with a live summary before you save, searchable grinder and process pickers, and a quick guided demo for new users.

Plus smoother scrolling and plenty of fixes. Thanks for brewing with Kaffedex.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-08

Kaffedex now brews filter, too — the same dial-in help, for pour-over.

FILTER & POUR-OVER
• Log filter brews with dose, water, ratio, temperature and pours.
• Guided brew player: a live pour-by-pour walkthrough with a vessel view and bloom + drawdown timers.
• Hardware-true dials for V60, Kalita, Orea, Switch, ZP6, Kinu, DF64, Weber and more.
• Save filter recipes as scannable cards, and log a brew straight from one.
• Japanese iced / flash-brew support (ice + hot pour).

SEE MORE IN YOUR DATA
• The extraction dashboard now scopes to espresso, filter, or both.
• Per-pour breakdown with flow and drawdown; pair a Bluetooth scale or refractometer to capture it automatically.

ALSO NEW
• Roast-level color picker for quicker bean entry.
• Backups now include your brews and recipes, plus a duplicate-bean merge tool.
• Smoother scrolling, sharper recipe QR codes, and better next-shot suggestions that avoid over-grinding.

Thanks for brewing with Kaffedex.
