Bean Freshness Tracker Know exactly when your coffee is at its best. Freshness timeline bars show where each bean is in its lifecycle, with separate windows for espresso and filter. Six roast tiers from ultra-light to dark, each with their own peak windows. Freshness badges appear on bean cards and list rows so you can spot what's ready to brew at a glance. Set a roaster recommendation if your roaster suggests specific rest days, and the entire timeline shifts to match. Sort your beans by freshness to find what's at peak right now. Personal Sweet Spot (Premium) The app analyzes your rated brews to find the days post-roast where you rate highest. It weights matches by roaster, variety, origin, and roast level so the recommendation is specific to each bean. Shown per method in the Brew Readiness section. Freshness Stats New stats in the Beans tab: percentage of brews made during peak, brew count by freshness phase, beans currently past peak, and rating by freshness phase. LSI Water Calculator See whether your water will form limescale or corrode your machine. The Langelier Saturation Index gauge shows corrosive, balanced, or scale-forming status with an interactive boiler temperature slider. Tap the info button for a full explanation. Decent Scale Support (Beta) Decent Scale and Half Decent Scale are now supported for weight, timer, tare, and battery. Look for them in the scale pairing view. Similar Beans Variety matching added. Two Gesha beans from different origins now score higher as similar. "Same variety" appears as a match reason. Interactive Quick Log Widget The Quick Log widget now shows two buttons (Espresso and Filter) instead of a single link. More Improvements - Default brewing style setting in Settings (controls freshness badges and new brew default) - Peak freshness notification at 9 AM when a bean enters peak (Settings > Notifications) - Freshness info sheet explaining the science behind the recommendations - Redesigned freezer section on bean detail - Rate Beanstats link in Settings - Reduced badge size on similar beans for better layout
