Track every shot. Dial in faster.
An espresso shot tracker for home baristas: dose, yield, time, and taste for every shot, so dialling in your grinder stops being guesswork.
Available for iPhone and iPad. Free to download.
Dialling in espresso is a memory game. Stop playing it in your head.
Change one thing at a time. Remember what you changed. That's the whole discipline, and it's exactly what a shot tracker is for.
Sour shot? Grind finer. Bitter? Coarser, or shorter. Everyone knows the rules. What kills the dial-in is Tuesday's shot blurring into Wednesday's: was that 18g in and 36g out, or 18.5g? Did the 28-second shot taste better than the 25?
Log the shot in Filtru and the question answers itself. Dose, yield, shot time, grind setting, and how it tasted, side by side with yesterday's. Adjust one variable, pull again, compare. That's dialling in with a paper trail.
With a scale under the cup, the numbers are honest.
Pair a supported Bluetooth scale and Filtru reads the shot live as it pours: real yield, not eyeballed; actual shot time, not counted in your head. Every shot gets a graph you can compare against the last one.
No scale? Filtru still times the shot, keeps your espresso log, and remembers every dose, yield, and tasting note you give it.
New to espresso, or new to your machine? The getting-started guide covers the first shot step by step, with dedicated pages for Sage, Gaggia, La Marzocco and more.
