The Smart Espresso Profiler is an easy-to-use tool to record and improve your espresso extractions. It gives all compatible espresso machines capabilities, which were only seen in the most advanced, state-of-the-art devices. Imagine perfectly repeatable pressure- and flow profiling with a modified vintage lever machine, or a modern pump machine, with instant feedback. Now you can log even your Decent Espresso shots on machines equipped with the Group Head Control. Decide whether you go with pressure, or with flow profiling - with the Smart Espresso Profiler, everything is possible. The Smart Espresso Profiler displays and records in real-time the pressure and flow of the coffee extraction, translating this information into pressure and flow graphs. It even informs you about the key indicators (brew ratio, flow rate, etc.) during the brewing process. Record all your experiences with the tasting notes feature, included in the app. Save and share profiles and notes of your favorite extractions. Set an earlier profile as a reference to follow. IMPORTANT: The Smart Espresso Profiler needs a pressure sensor to work, available at https://www.naked-portafilter.com/smart-espresso-profiler/ For flow profiling, and brew weight data, an Acaia Pearl, Lunar, Cinco, Pyxis, a Skale Bluetooth, a Eureka Precisa or a Decent smart coffee scale is needed.
PullPilot

PullPilot helps home baristas record espresso shots, compare recipes, and decide what to adjust next. Track dose, yield, time, grind setting, taste notes, and bean details in one local-first workflow. Use the Shot Compass to understand whether a shot is running fast, balanced, or slow, then keep your best recipes for repeatable brews. PullPilot is designed for practical espresso dial-in: log shots quickly, manage beans and roast notes, compare dose, yield, time, grind, and taste, save best recipes, get dial-in guidance for the next shot, export CSV, and create clean share cards after Pro is enabled. No account is required. Your coffee records stay on your device. PullPilot does not guarantee better espresso results. It provides logging and dial-in guidance so you can make more informed changes with your own equipment, beans, and taste preferences.
