[New] New Feature: Brew Ratio Display ■ Ratio Display You can now view pour amounts as a brew ratio (1:n) in addition to grams. Turn on "Ratio Display" in Settings to switch pour amounts on the timer screen's step list and cumulative display, the 4:6 method settings, and more to a brew ratio like 1:15. Perfect for those who build their brews around the water-to-coffee ratio. With Ratio Display turned on, you can also enter the pour amount for each step of a custom method as a brew ratio (in 0.1 increments), not just in grams. ■ Improvements ・Updated internal app processing.
