What's New in Simple Espresso Timer

1.7.0

January 26, 2026

You can now write notes about your shots as suggested by a user.  To do so you go to the Shots tab and select the shot you want to write about. Tab the notes section and type away. Furthermore the app has been updated to use Liquid Glass, I hope your espresso still tastes OK even though it is served in Liquid Glass ;) As always, thank you for using the Simple Espresso Timer.

Amazing!

So simple, clean and easy to use. Love it. Maybe one day a notes feature can be added? I’d love to note down my grind settings and observations.

Useful app

Simple and great app. Counting shots is very useful for me. It would be great if it can connect to health app so we can submit the amount of caffeine.

Simple, elegant and functional

Love the app! It's the first thing I fire up each morning. When making my morning espresso, I need a timer to track my extraction time, and shot counter so I know when to clean my machine. This app provides for both needs in a simple and elegant way. Also, the developer is very receptive to suggestions and quick to respond.

All in all, a great little app.

Awesome timer!

I use this app daily and it's the best out there. It starts the timer based on sound, the threshold being adjustable. Simple and effective!

Also, thanks for the update!
