Dialing in a new coffee often means starting from scratch. After several test shots, you finally find a recipe that tastes great. But weeks later, when you brew the same coffee again, it's easy to forget what worked. EspressoLog helps you capture the recipes and tasting notes behind your best shots, so you can recreate them with confidence. Log dose, yield, ratio, shot time, and temperature for every espresso. Track acidity, sweetness, bitterness, body, and aftertaste to better understand how recipe changes affect flavor. Manage your coffees with roast details, freshness tracking, and flavor notes. Keep track of your machines and grinders, and see exactly what equipment was used for each shot. Designed for home baristas who want more consistent espresso, faster dial-ins, and better coffee in every cup. No account, data stays on device.

About

Espremo

Read full description

Espremo is a friendly maintenance companion for prosumer espresso machines. I know your setup, I keep track of what's due, and I'll tap you on the shoulder when it's time to take care of your machine. TUNED TO YOUR MACHINE Espremo adapts the schedule to your machine's group type, boiler layout and quirks whether you brew on a Lelit, La Marzocco, Breville, Rocket, ECM, Profitec, Gaggia, Rancilio or one of a hundred other models. Machines that handle a task themselves (Breville Oracle, we see you) get quietly skipped. EVERYTHING YOU NEED, IN ONE PLACE • Backflush cycles, water and detergent, paced for your group • Descaling, cadence set by your water hardness • Shower screen, group gasket and portafilter care • Water filter and softener replacement, matched to your setup • Grinder burr care, flat or conical, tuned to your shot volume • Deep clean and pro service reminders for lever and commercial rigs Every task comes with step-by-step instructions, the materials required, and honest warnings about the stuff that's easy to get wrong. MADE FOR THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY BREW • Setup in four quick questions: which machine, how many shots a day, what water, what you already track • Tap once to mark a task done, undo with another tap • Reminders land at the time of day you choose • Complete history per task shows how consistent your ritual really is (or isn't) • Change your machine or water hardness later, the schedule re-tunes automatically BASED ON 100+ MAINTENANCE GUIDES Every recommendation traces back to manufacturer service docs, home barista communities, and independent repair specialists. Unusual setup, a plumbed-in softener, a rebuilt group, a decade of daily doubles, covered. Dial in your ritual. I'll handle the reminders.
