About

OLLA Brew Lab is a coffee workbench for iPhone and iPad that keeps roast curves, brew logs and cupping records in one place. It is made for home roasters, specialty coffee enthusiasts and small roasters. Bean cards, brew logs and cuppings are free. Roast to Cup, the roastery workbench for curves, roast profiles and inventory, is part of OLLA Pro. ROAST CURVES (OLLA PRO) Log a roast live with large buttons for charge, yellowing, first crack and drop; development ratio and weight loss follow from what you record. Replay any curve, compare batches, and set a batch as your baseline. Import curve files in 11 formats; the source is detected from the file itself. ROAST PROFILES: DESIGN BEFORE YOU CHARGE (OLLA PRO) Set targets for first crack, drop and development ratio, and see the first-crack window, drop window and weight loss projected on the spot. No machine connection is needed. Save a design to the curve library, or export it as .alog, JSON or CSV. YOUR BEAN LIBRARY One card per bag: origin, variety, process, estate, altitude, roast level, roast date, purchase details and your own notes. Resting and drinking windows count down on their own; a Home Screen widget shows a pinned bean. Photograph a label, a bean list or a cafe menu and OLLA reads it on device, showing the words each field came from; nothing is saved until you confirm. On supported devices, Apple Intelligence fills gaps, corrects misreadings and adds explanations and translation in three languages, all on device. The Coffee Codex holds 2,000+ cross-linked entries, from origins and varieties to processing and brewing. BREW LOG Record dose, grind, water temperature, ratio, TDS, extraction yield, timing and sensory impressions. The Tools tab sits alongside, with a step-recipe brew timer, an extraction-yield calculator and brewing-water recipes. CUPPING Score on a classic ten-attribute sheet, or use sensory scoring: cup profile, quality impression and five-cup consistency. Describe flavor with 16 everyday words or the full flavor wheel, and export a cupping sheet as a PDF. For professional sessions, OLLA Pro adds blind-coded assessment with cup-by-cup records and a five-class verdict from L5 to L1. FIELD GUIDE City coffee guides, one volume per city, readable offline. Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Fukuoka are published; the other cities on the city bar are still being curated. Each list is selected from public data by OLLA's own scoring. COFFEE JOURNAL Beans, brews, cuppings and roasts stay linked, gathered in one archive with search, filters and yearly stats. HOW PEOPLE USE OLLA · A home roaster designs the next batch, logs it, and cups it a few days later on the same bean card. · A specialty coffee drinker scans a new bag, watches its resting window and dials in a pour over. · A small roaster keeps green and roasted stock, lot codes and labels in one ledger with OLLA Pro. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No sign-up is required. No tracking, no ads, no third-party analytics. Your records stay on your device, and in your own iCloud if you turn on sync. Camera access is requested only when you scan and photo access only when you pick a photo; recognition runs on device. OLLA works in English, Simplified Chinese and Japanese. OLLA PRO OLLA Pro includes Roast to Cup (roast curves, pre-roast design, inventory, labels and assessment sessions), iCloud sync across devices, PDF reports with your shop name, and advanced widgets. Roast and inventory records from before 1.3.0 stay viewable. OLLA Pro is a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time purchase; the annual plan includes a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

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
