Tell me if this sounds familiar.

You bought better beans. Maybe a better grinder. Maybe a V60, AeroPress, Chemex, or espresso machine.

You followed a recipe once, changed the grind the next day, poured a little faster, forgot the bloom time, guessed the ratio, and somehow the same coffee tasted completely different.

That’s not because you’re bad at coffee. It’s because great coffee is hard to repeat when the recipe, timer, dose, yield, tasting notes, and tiny adjustments all live in different places, or nowhere at all.

Filtru puts the whole brew in one place.

Filtru is that one app I always wished existed. One calm place to follow a recipe, dial in your dose, and remember what worked and what didn’t.

Ten years on it’s still just me, still tweaking it most mornings, because I really think good coffee should be accessible to everyone, not something intimidating or expensive.

I fell for specialty coffee years ago at a coffee cupping here in Manchester where I got to meet the farmer who grew it. Then when the Apple Watch came out, the software developer in me made a little timer that taps your wrist, through many conversations with barista friends it became obvious a dedicated app like Filtru was needed.

Give Filtru a try, and let me know what you think.

One calm guide from beans to cup.

Choose a brew method. Set your dose. Follow the steps.

Filtru tells you when to pour, stir, wait, bloom, press, stop, taste, and adjust. Use it as a simple coffee timer in the morning, or go deeper with brew logs, espresso shot tracking, extraction calculations, and Bluetooth scale data.

  1. Choose a method. Start with AeroPress, V60, Chemex, French press, espresso, and more.
  2. Follow the timer. See each step, the target time, and what to do next.
  3. Brew with feedback. Use Filtru on its own, or connect a compatible Bluetooth scale.
  4. Improve the next cup. Save notes, compare brews, and adjust with more confidence.

Make pour-over easier to repeat.

Guided timers for V60, Chemex, Kalita, AeroPress and more, so a great cup is never a fluke.

Record every shot’s dose, yield, time and taste, and know exactly what to change next.

Keep a coffee journal you’ll actually use.

Beans, recipes, ratios and tasting notes, all searchable, so the coffee you loved never disappears.

Scan the bag. Save the details.

Point your camera at a coffee bag and let Filtru capture the beans for you. No typing.

Works with serious coffee scales.

Connect a supported Bluetooth scale for live weight, flow-rate feedback, and brew graphs, or use Filtru perfectly well on its own.

Supported scales include: Acaia, Felicita, Decent Espresso, DiFluid, Wilfa, Varia, BooKoo, Fresco, Atomax, Escali, Timemore, Goat Story.

Hit the target

Filtru shows the target weight at step of the recipe and a red/yellow marker to indicate how close you are to hitting the mark.

Optimal Flow rate

The app records a flow-rate to help you get an even and consistent extraction.

Brew print of your coffee

For each coffee brewed with a Bluetooth scale Filtru keeps a graph of both pouring weight and flow rate.

Brew the way you already brew.

Filtru includes guided timers and recipes for popular manual and espresso brew methods, from a simple morning cup to a precise specialty routine.

Each method has its own page with a baseline recipe, a guided Filtru timer, and community recipes shared by Filtru users.
