Best Brew Guide: Filtru Coffee

I have brewed coffee with the Filtru app over 200 times . Using the App for Chemex and Aeropress . I love the customization of the app e.g. water to grounds to cup ratio as well as the coffe/brewing notes. Being able to so easily use this helps my coffee making game and the notes are incredibly useful as I work my way through the myriad of coffee rosters. I can always look back on my brew notes to help me decide to buy again or to change my brewing ratio. What’s not to love- I recommend this App to all my coffee loving friends! Try it , you’ll love it!!

This app works wonderfully with a Bluetooth, smart scale and my iPhone. It’s a great way to look up other popular brute techniques from online coffee personalities. I have yet to explore the New Pro features yet, but the free version is rewarding on its own. I believe it’s only three dollars for the pro version so I’m likely to try it soon. I wish there was a better way to record grind size and roast level (Dark/Light). Additionally, I’d like a way to record my TDS measurements from using a refractometer. That way I can qualify my extraction levels.

If you have a Bluetooth scale, and a refractometer, and you’re actually trying to profile and tweak espresso then this app is likely fairly great as it supports all those features. But as a more useful tool, i.e. tracking grinds in volumes and output volumes, it fails. mainly because you have to specify your output volume or weight ahead of time, and after you pull a shot you cannot tweak it. In other words, it does not let you actually record what happened with each shot in a stepwise fashion. I compare to the side by side of being conqueror which lets you do just that. This is important if you’re trying to iterate by grinds or input volume she got the correct output as often recommended from the better third wave roasters. Also the brew guides are very rudimentary
