What's New in OLLA Brew Lab
1.3.4
October 5, 2026
OLLA 1.3.4 rebuilds the whole set of tools, checks the numbers in them against their sources, and rebuilds the ALO dossier in LAB. • Tools as instruments: the timer tile shows your last cup with its brewer, dose, water, ratio, time and pour rhythm, and every other tile draws that tool's last reading; a tool you have not used yet shows its starting values marked Preset until a real reading replaces them; long-press to pin a tool, or arrange them from the menu; tap any number to type it, hold a stepper to keep adjusting, and adjust directly with VoiceOver • Results that go somewhere: Extraction Yield shows its result on the Gold Cup chart, adds an immersion mode, opens from a brew record and writes TDS and extraction back to it, or logs a brew; Espresso Lab adds a stopwatch and three checks on time, ratio and extraction; Ratio adds a ratio ruler, two dose ranges up to 80 g and "Will it fit?", and carries dose and ratio into the timer; a scored Cupping Score sheet can be saved as a cupping record • Water Recipe now works by two bottles: make a hardness bottle and a buffer bottle once, then get three weights for any batch from 0.25 to 5 L, or work back from a target hardness and alkalinity; recipes are rebuilt from their original sources, the estimated Third Wave Water Espresso recipe is removed, Lotus is shown by drops, Third Wave Water by sachet and SCAA 2009 as a benchmark. Grind Guide becomes one fine-to-coarse ruler drawn on the grinder's real dial, with settings from maker guides or a named chart and a converter that maps by brew method. Recipe Library adds search, filters and a pour-rhythm line, Flavor Wheel opens on its largest family, and Roast Reader and A/B Compare are tidied as well • Numbers you may see change: on old records from French press, AeroPress, Clever, Switch and cold-brew makers where the beverage was not weighed, estimated extraction rises by about 3 points; the golden-cup range is now TDS 1.15–1.35% everywhere, so records between 1.35 and 1.45% no longer carry the golden-cup mark; the CVA total in Cupping Score rounds to 0.25; espresso preset names and parameters, water recipe amounts and grinder settings are corrected to their sources • LAB · ALO dossier 2.0: rebuilt from re-verified sources in twelve chapters and fifty-six figures, and told mostly through tables and charts — the twelve stations one row each, methods by year, both auctions lot by lot, four Cup of Excellence editions, the record-price timeline and buyers by country; the station locations and the registered winner and prices of the 2021 Cup of Excellence are corrected, and claims with no recoverable source are withdrawn; free in full, charts included. The source lists of the Gesha and ALO issues now open at the end of each issue, with original and archive links; the Gesha issue and seven related entries are corrected to match • Roast to Cup dashboard (OLLA Pro): the stock and cost tabs switch between trend and numbers, remembered on this device; stock numbers show the lot that runs out first, lots under their safety line, coffee roasted within 14 days and over 30 days, and in, out and net for the selected period; cost numbers show green and roasted value, value and share by origin or lot, and ageing; the headline's green half now shows weight on hand, like roasted
