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.

About

BeanFresh

Read full description

Great beans deserve to be enjoyed fresh. BeanFresh helps you track coffee freshness from the roast date. Register each bag with its roast date, name, roaster, origin, process and roast level — with a photo — and the app gently reminds you at the right moments along the journey from resting to peak flavor to fading freshness. No more opening a bag of specialty or home-roasted coffee, forgetting about it, and letting those expensive beans go stale. WHO IT'S FOR - You buy specialty or home-roasted coffee - You've regretted finding a bag long past its peak - You keep several bags going at once - You want to recreate your best cup every time KEY FEATURES Automatic freshness window Just enter the roast date and BeanFresh calculates the resting period, peak window, and drink-by date for you. Bags are sorted by drink-by date, so you always know which to brew next. A freshness meter shows how much of the peak is left at a glance. Freshness reminders Get notified the day before peak, the day it reaches peak, and when it's nearly time to finish the bag. When freshness starts to fade, BeanFresh keeps gently reminding you until the bag is done. Brew log to recreate your cup Record the method, dose, water, temperature, grind, time, rating and flavor notes. The coffee-to-water ratio (1:X) is calculated automatically, and your ratings appear on a trend chart — so your best recipe becomes clear from the data. Photo management Add a photo of the bag or label (the subject is cut out automatically) to tell your beans apart at a glance. Home screen widget See your next bag to finish, right on your widget. Coffee tips A useful, fun coffee fact every day to make brewing more enjoyable. Free to use (up to 3 bags). Go Premium for unlimited bags, the brew log and photos, drink-by escalation reminders, and an ad-free experience. Enjoy every cup at its freshest. ā–  LINKS • Support: https://tsuzukit.com/contact/ • Terms of Service: https://tsuzukit.com/legal/terms-of-service.html • Privacy Policy: https://tsuzukit.com/legal/privacy-policy.html
