That's it. ■ What you'll learn • Particle distribution See D10 (small) · D50 (median) · D90 (large), mean, fines ratio, uniformity, and more — alongside a distribution histogram. • Brew-method guidance Get advice on grinding finer or coarser for espresso, pour-over, French press, and other methods. • AI Barista insights (on supported devices, iOS 26+) Reads your results and suggests how to dial in your next cup. • Save and share Save your analysis card as an image and share it. ■ What's coming • Compare your history Line up your saved measurements to track how grind size shifts with each grinder setting — and how consistent it stays. ■ Made for • Home brewers who want more consistent extractions • Anyone dialing in a new grinder by the numbers • People who want to tell espresso and filter grinds apart precisely • Baristas who want to check grind uniformity and fines firsthand Taste the difference in every cup — backed by data.
