Dialling in espresso is the hardest part of home coffee, and most apps just log what you did. diald. is different. It guides you. Tell diald. how your shot tasted (too sour, too bitter, just right) and it tells you exactly what to change next. Grind finer? Adjust your dose? diald. turns guesswork into a clear, step-by-step path to a great cup. Built for real home setups, whether you're brand new to espresso or refining your ritual. WHAT'S INSIDE Guided dial-in: Answer simple taste questions and get precise, personalised adjustments for your next shot. No jargon, no guesswork. Built for your gear: Set up your espresso machine and grinder once, and get advice tuned to what you actually own. Smart shot timer: A built-in timer for your extraction, with the option to skip it if you weigh your shots with scales. Bean shelf: Keep track of your beans, with roast-date freshness tracking so you always know what's at its best. Scan your bag: Snap a photo of a coffee bag and diald. fills in the details for you automatically. Shot history: Every shot is saved per bean, so you can see your progress and return to what worked. Save your recipes: Once you've nailed a bean, save the recipe and pull it up any time. Yours, privately: Your data stays on your device. No account required. Whether you're chasing your first great shot or fine-tuning your hundredth, diald. helps you get there faster.
