Dialing YOU

Features
Read full description

Real-time espresso data metrics and charts. Bringing brew-by-weight technology to the Sanremo YOU with a connected scale. Dialing YOU is an independent companion app compatible with the Sanremo YOU espresso machine. It connects over your local Wi-Fi network and gives you live extraction data: pressure, temperature, flow rate, and volume, right in your hand. Dialing YOU is not affiliated with or endorsed by the machine manufacturer. Compatibility is with the Sanremo YOU espresso machine model only. Real-Time Extraction Chart Watch your extraction unfold on a live chart that plots pressure, flow rate, and volume against time, frame by frame. When using a Custom Profile set-up on the machine, spot extraction phases from pre-infusion, blooming to post-infusion ramp down. Brew-by-Weight: Automated Yield Control Pair Dialing YOU with a compatible Bluetooth scale (Acaia or Bookoo supported at the moment) and let the app stop your shot automatically, every time. The Brew-by-Weight engine predicts how much liquid will keep flowing after the pump stops, accounting for network latency, valve delay, and residual drip and sends the stop command at exactly the right moment. It learns from every shot, so accuracy improves the more you use it. Remotely control your machine Power your machine out of standby or off, monitor and set boiler temperature and steam wand pressure, check your water tank level, and manage your scale connection: all from a single, glanceable dashboard. Full Brew History Every extraction is saved automatically. Review your shot archives complete with peak pressure, average temperature, final weight, yield volume, and a replay of the full time-series chart. See how your espresso has changed as you adjust your grind, dose, or profile. Machine Calibration Wizard Run the built-in calibration wizard once to teach the app your exact hardware lag: the combined delay of your network and your machine's solenoid valve. Two calibration passes are all it takes. The result is a personalised stop-time correction that keeps your yield on target regardless of how your machine is set up. Supports Multiple Scale Brands Acaia: Pearl, Pearl S, Lunar, Cinco, Pyxis Bookoo: Themis Mini, Themis Ultra Requirements: A YOU espresso machine connected to your local Wi-Fi network. A compatible Bluetooth smart scale is required for Brew-by-Weight features. Dialing YOU is an independent app made by the team behind Baristapp — not affiliated with or endorsed by the machine manufacturer. Questions or feedback? Reach us at hey@barist.app

Espremo

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.
