Log Every Detail - Record comprehensive brew parameters for each espresso pull — bean weight, yield, extraction time, pressure, temperature, flow rate, and more. Track pre-infusion and first-drip times with the built-in advanced timer. Rate your shots, add tasting notes, and capture flavor profiles on an interactive flavor grid.
