Better espresso, without the guesswork. Prop your iPhone by the machine and pull. Pull & Taste hears the pump, starts the timer the moment your shot begins and stops it when it ends. Tap how it tasted and get one clear next step: grind finer, grind coarser or run it longer. No stopwatch. No wet fingers on the screen. No account. HANDS-FREE SHOT TIMER • Locks onto your machine's pump, so talking, the grinder and the steam wand don't start it • Learns your machine in a 13-second calibration • Uses the microphone, the vibration of the machine, or both • Ignores short flushes and purges • Optional pauses for pre-infusion and pre-brewing • Vibrates when your shot reaches and leaves the target time • Keeps timing on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island DIAL IN ANY BEAN Enter dose, yield, time and taste: sour, bitter, thin, too intense or balanced. Pull & Taste suggests one change at a time, the way baristas do, so you know what worked. A RECIPE FOR EVERY DRINK Ristretto, single, double, lungo, americano, cortado, flat white, cappuccino and latte. Get the dose, yield in grams, brew ratio, time, temperature and pre-infusion for your basket and roast. YOUR SHOT LOG • Every shot saved with its recipe, time, taste and notes • Keep your beans and see what you pulled last time with the same bag • Pull the same shot again in one tap • Export to CSV or back up as JSON PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no ads. Sound is analysed on your iPhone and never leaves it, and your shots and beans stay on your phone. The app sends anonymous usage statistics only, never who you are. Pull it. Taste it. Adjust it.
