■ Dynamic Island & Live Activity

Full support for iPhone's Dynamic Island and Live Activity. Even while using another app, see the current step, elapsed time, and water volume on your screen or Lock Screen.

■ Voice Commands — Hands-Free Control

No need to touch your phone while brewing — control the timer with your voice.

・"next" / "back" / "done" ・Japanese & English (follows app language setting) ・Voice button can be hidden in settings

■ Supported Methods

【4:6 Method】 Developed by the World Brewers Cup 2016 Champion. Split water into the first 40% (flavor) and the last 60% (strength) for intuitive taste control.

・Adjust flavor balance (sweet to bright) with a slider ・Control strength with the number of pours (1–3) ・Customize steaming (bloom) time

【New Hybrid Method】 Combines percolation and immersion using a switch dripper (e.g., HARIO Switch).

・Auto water temp by roast level (light, medium, dark) ・Dripper open/close shown per step ・Fine-tune temps manually

【Custom Method】 Create your own recipes from scratch. Define the time and water volume (grams or brew ratio) for each step.

【Brew to Create】 Brew freely without time targets, then turn your actual data into a custom method. Save an intuitive brew as a reproducible recipe.
