Pull better shots. Every time. Tampio is the espresso companion built for home baristas who care about consistency. Save your bean profiles, time every extraction, rate your shots, and let the app tell you exactly what to adjust next. No account. No subscription. No cloud required. Just you and better espresso. --- TRACK YOUR BEANS --- Store every coffee you own - roaster, origin, roast level, roast date, and your go-to default dose, yield, and grind settings. Tampio keeps a tidy profile for each bean so you always know where to start. --- LOG EVERY SHOT --- Record dose, grind size, grind time, yield, and a star rating for every brew. A circular extraction timer counts up in real time and turns orange then red when you drift past your target - so you know at a glance whether to pull or wait. Add a photo and tasting notes while everything is still fresh. --- GET SMARTER OVER TIME --- Tampio analyses your brews and automatically surfaces Suggested Settings for each bean - the average grind, dose, yield, and time from your best shots. No spreadsheets. No guesswork. --- DIAL IN ANY BEAN --- New bag? Use Dial-In mode to work through sequential attempts. After each shot, log the taste result - Underextracted, Balanced, Overextracted, or Channeling - and Tampio recommends the next grind adjustment with a plain-English explanation. When you nail it, the winning settings are saved straight to the bean profile. --- KEEP A PHOTO LOG --- Attach photos from your library or snap one in-app. Every brew and every bean profile can have its own shot of the puck, the pour, or the bag. Download Tampio and start pulling shots you're proud of.
