Your brew, your dose.

Start with the original settings below. Coffee dose is the weight of dry grounds; changing it scales the water automatically. Temperature is the water temperature when pouring. Step times do not scale automatically.

Step 1 of 4 · 15s remaining in this step

Keep this page open and your device volume on. Sounds may not play when the tab is suspended or the screen is locked. Timing catches up when you return.

In each pour, “Add” is the water for that step. “Scale target” is the cumulative water added since the start: tare before the first pour, not between pours. The timer advances automatically; pause if you need more time. Duration fields use seconds (60 s = 1 minute).
