The best Coffi alternative for better coffee.
Coffi is a scan-and-rate coffee community. Filtru is a brewing companion. If you want the cup itself to get better, you want the one with timers, scales, and graphs.
Available for iPhone and iPad. Free to download.
Coffi - Coffee Tracker, on the App Store
First, some honesty.
Coffi does guided SCA-style tastings and a social layer with reviews and leaderboards. As a rating community, fair enough.
As a brewing app, it isn't one. No brew timers, no recipes of any kind, no scale support, no graphs, no espresso tools, and the Pro tier runs £49.90 a year. Filtru costs nothing to start and actually makes the coffee with you.

“With this app you get a real sense of passion. The methods are clear to understand.”— App Store review of Filtru
Why people switch from Coffi to Filtru.
Rate the cup after you've brewed it well.
Coffi starts once the coffee exists. Filtru is there for the part that decides how it tastes: guided timers, live scale data, espresso dial-in, and a graph of every pour.
A tenth of the yearly price to go PRO.
Coffi Pro is £49.90 a year. Filtru is free to brew with, and the optional PRO tier starts at $3.49 a month with a lifetime option.
Scanning that stays private.
Filtru's AbolBuna runs entirely on your device. No account, no server, no waiting on a human fallback.
What you get when you switch.
Guided brewing for fifteen methods
AeroPress, V60, Chemex, French press, espresso, siphon, and more. Each has a baseline recipe and a guided timer that keeps pace with you. See every brew method →
Works with serious coffee scales
Acaia, Timemore, Felicita, Decent, BooKoo and more. Live weight and flow-rate feedback with automatic pairing. See supported scales →
Accessibility is a feature, not a checkbox
Filtru works properly with VoiceOver, including live spoken readouts of your scale's measurements while you brew, as often or as rarely as you like. And you can switch the whole app to fonts like OpenDyslexic, Lexend, or Atkinson Hyperlegible.
