[New] New Features: AeroPress Support & Favorite Methods ■ AeroPress Support You can now brew and log AeroPress recipes with the timer. ・Added the recipe that won the JAC2015 AeroPress championship as a standard method (inverted; 30g at 1:6, 82°C for the first pour and 90°C for the second). When you change the coffee amount or ratio in its settings, each step's water is recalculated to keep the same proportions ・When editing a custom method, choose "Normal", "Switch", or "AeroPress" as the dripper type ・AeroPress methods and brews are labeled on the method card and in "Brew Data", so you can tell them apart from regular pour-overs at a glance ・New step type "Agitate": add steps that don't pour water, such as stirring, swirling, or tapping (works with any dripper type) ・Added AeroPress items to the dripper and filter pickers in brew logs (AeroPress, AeroPress+Flow Control, AeroPress Micro-Filters and Stainless Steel Filter, and Fellow Prismo) ■ Favorite Methods Keep the methods you use most at the top of "Select Brew Method". ・Swipe a method card to the right to add it to your favorites (swipe a favorite to the right again to remove it) ・Both standard and custom methods can be added ・Favorites appear in the "Favorites" section at the top in the order you added them, and no longer appear in their original section ■ Improvements ・Tap ">" on a card in "Select Brew Method" to view the method's details: coffee, ratio, total water, total time, temperature, and each step's water, target time, and support text. Edit custom methods with the pencil there. ・For custom methods, the timer's settings (gear) button now adjusts coffee, ratio, temperature, and record defaults without changing the method. These settings last only while the app is open. ・Reorder custom method steps by drag and drop; settings move with each step (a pour moved to step 1 becomes the Bloom, and a Bloom moved later becomes a pour). ・The timer's "Pour Steps" list now shows step names like "Bloom(Pour1)", "Agitate", and "Drain", matching "Brew Data" in brew logs. ・Adding a pour after a Drain step no longer skips a pour number, and the timer's "PourN / M" counts only steps that pour water. ・New steps now start with a 40-second target (previously 45). ・When the steps already add up to the total water, "Add Step" adds an "Agitate" step, and Drain/Agitate steps can't be switched to Bloom or Pour. ・Changing the coffee amount or ratio no longer drops a step below the minimum water (10% of the total), and step water is calculated the same way everywhere. ・Step water entered as a brew ratio can no longer go below the percentage minimum. ・After changing the coffee amount or ratio, the percentage dialog now shows the current step water. ・The New Hybrid card now shows the "Switch" label. ・Changing the method or brew settings while paused or finished now resets the brew first, and the gear button is disabled while brewing. ・Fixed the timer showing 3:30 at launch when the default method is a custom method. ・Fixed the timer sometimes keeping the old method, target time, or bloom time after changing the default method, or editing it, in App Settings. ・Fixed the delete dialog appearing before you lift your finger when swiping a custom method left. ・Fixed the filter picker repeating the maker name, as in "April April x SIBARIST Fast Filters". ・The "Pour Steps" list now shows water in grams with the percentage (or ratio) below, plus each step's support text. ・Custom method temperatures now apply only to pour steps. Drain and Agitate steps have none, and Uniform/Per Step, the timer, brew logs, and pattern analysis use pour steps only. ・"Brew to Create" now defaults to 90°C (previously 88°C). ・Fixed gear button changes and the Auto Step toggle resetting after leaving App Settings without changes. ・Edits in "Edit Brew Data" are now kept after visiting method selection. ・Manual sync now lets you know when you're offline. ・Updated internal app processing.
