About this app

While the first iteration of the app is designed as an extension of the smart tools, future versions will allow you to sign into your own account and search for recipes that match your beans and brewing preferences. Do you use Stumptown coffee and prefer a pour-over? There's a recipe for that. Did you make some improvements? You'll easily be able to share it with the Café community, get feedback, and track the results of other users. Using information from Microbalance, DiFluid Café determines how well your coffee was brewed, and whether you stayed true to the recipe. Not a perfect outcome? Learn what needs to be adjusted to get the taste you are looking for. Can't figure it out? Need help? Ask questions in DiFluid Café. Get suggestions, be inspired, make comments. We're all coffee lovers here.

Ratings and reviews

I bought the R2 because I thought it would be more convenient because of the app. This app doesn't have instructions on how to save your data. It's not intuitive at all. Instead of just letting you input your yield , you also have to add the weight of your cup, like users wouldn't know how to tare their scale. The refractometer connects to the phone, but it won't save the reading. This was not designed for a barista! Returning the refractometer and deleting the app, I'm going back to Atago.

Edit - To submit TDS and EXT numbers, you need to enter the numbers and click on the chart to submit. Not the entry box. Fixed the TDS in the old app manually and I could get results I could use to compare cups. New update has boxes in Chinese, be good to get this dual language. Now I can't manually enter the EXT. It stays blank. The scales freeze on completion, so you can't weight the water in the grounds. After finally getting TDS measurements with fudging, now I get nothing on EXT!! 😡

No other options for brewing method other than pourover and espresso. There's no place to input coffee and other brewing details. Like information about the coffee used. Information of water used (TDS, water quality). Brewing Instructions: brewing equipment, type of filter, grinder, grind size. Flavor notes. At least these are the things I will need when using this app. Well, we take our coffee seriously that we have to be detailed about it. Thanks developers.
