Your beans are getting older, and now Vurr actually cares. Fresh bean energy — Vurr now factors in how many days off roast your bag is, and nudges your grind accordingly. Day 2 jitters, peak window confidence, day 25 “let’s be honest” adjustments. It’s all in there, and it’ll tell you why. Scan your bag like a pro — swapped in Apple’s own document scanner for cleaner, sharper bag captures. Less squinting at blurry roast dates. Prettier extraction charts — your session history now speaks the same visual language as your shot deep dive. Gold diamonds, green circles, the whole language of a good (or humbling) shot. Widget glow-up — tightened up the home screen widget so nothing feels cramped or floaty anymore, and the Lock Screen circular widget now shows a proper gauge ring around your grind number, just like Apple’s own weather and tide widgets. A random number floating in a circle deserved better. The usual under-the-hood tidying so things keep running smoothly. Keep pulling. We’ll keep learning.

The engine is now fully transparent. Previously, 13 hidden deltas were silently influencing your grind suggestion without explanation — shot timing, ratio drift, taste tags, altitude, oiliness, dose, puck fill, brew temp. All now visible as named rows in the breakdown panel. What you see adds up exactly to what the engine suggests. Lungo pulls no longer get told to grind finer. High-ratio shots now get the right advice — stop the shot earlier, not adjust the grind. Pre-infusion time is now correctly factored into extraction analysis. A 35-second shot with 10 seconds of pre-infusion is 25 seconds of actual extraction. The app now knows the difference. The Mahlkönig E64 WS joins the catalogue with its native micron scale.

Your engine, sharpened. The suggestion now anchors to your best shot — not the average of every dial-in attempt that got you there. If you pulled a 5-star at 3.2, that’s where next session starts. Flow rate advice and ratio commentary no longer contradict each other. One clear verdict per shot, in plain language. Pre-infusion time is now factored into extraction analysis. A 35s shot with 10s pre-infusion is 25s of actual extraction — and the app now knows the difference. High-ratio pulls (Lungo territory) no longer get told to grind finer. The advice matches the actual problem. Grinder dial ranges corrected across the full catalog. Custom scales including aftermarket wheels now work correctly on every screen. Draft persistence improvements — your in-progress shot survives even force-kills.

Your grinder has been going to therapy. Here’s what it learned. The engine got smarter Suggestions now anchor to your best shot, not the average of every dial-in disaster. Your 5-star pulls finally get the respect they deserve. Flow rate knows what it wants Five clear bands from choking to very fast, with advice that actually agrees with itself. No more “right on target — also please go coarser.” PID recommendations, researched Temperature suggestions are now backed by actual espresso science. Dark roast gets 90°C. Light roast gets 95°C. Your machine gets fewer arguments. Grinder catalog, corrected Mignon, Niche Zero, DF64, Comandante, Lagom P64 — all dial ranges verified against real hardware. The DF64 is no longer pretending it only goes to 6. Edit shot = Log shot The edit screen finally looks like the log screen. Consistency is a feature. Draft persistence Started logging a shot and got distracted by your cat? Your draft survives. Even force-kills. Ratio gets context 1:1.97 now tells you what it means — Normale, Ristretto, or Lungo. Numbers with personality. Lots of small fixes Spacing, dots, empty tiles, contradicting insights, stale suggestions. The kind of polish that makes a good app feel great.

Your drafts finally have commitment issues (fixed) Walk away mid-shot log, force-quit the app, switch to something else — your in-progress shot now survives all of it. Come back and pick up exactly where you left off, in the same screen you left from. Even if you were mid-pull on the suggest screen. No more lost data, no more re-entering everything from scratch. Your bag math got an audit Turns out the first shot you pulled from a new bag was living rent-free — never counted, never deducted. A full ghost shot. We caught it, evicted it, and your "shots remaining" now starts counting from shot one like it always should have. No more accidental fresh starts If you tap "Brew Again" on a shot while you've got an unsaved draft for the same bean, we'll ask — resume the draft or start fresh? Your call, not ours.

Some of you were greeted with a blank screen instead of your morning espresso. Not ideal. We've fixed the thing that was causing that and sent it far, far away. You're good now. Go make a shot.

Your grinder, finally understood. One dial. Three taps. Fully calibrated. Set your chirp point, your finest espresso, and your coarsest — all on a single dial that looks exactly like your physical grinder. Same numbers, same direction, same feel. Spin to each position and tap to confirm. Vurr builds your espresso range visually as you go. No typing, no guessing. Add any grinder. Even the weird one. Not in the catalogue? Add it yourself. Name it, set the dial range, pick flat or conical, set your coarser direction. Vurr starts learning from your first shot. Flat burrs get a slightly more assertive cold-start suggestion. Conical, a touch finer. Small difference that compounds over dozens of pulls. Flow rate. No extra input needed. Every shot now shows your flow rate in grams per second — calculated automatically from your yield and time. Colour-coded against the ideal range for your roast level. A fast shot that still reads 1.8 g/s? Normal. A shot that reads 3.2 g/s? Go finer. The number tells you before your palate has to. Smarter suggestions. Log pre-infusion time on Slayer, 3→9→6, or pre-infusion profiles — Vurr strips it from your extraction time so the engine reads the shot correctly. Flow rate now helps distinguish a grind problem from a technique problem. Fast shot with normal flow? Vurr holds the grind and flags puck prep instead. Three new grinders. Mazzer Philos, Etzinger ETZmax LM, and Timemore Sculptor 078S — bringing the catalogue to 52 grinders across 20 brands, all pre-configured with the right dial range, direction, and espresso window. Your draft survives. Start logging a shot, switch to your scale app, come back — your data is waiting. Tap restore and finish. Only fully saved shots reach the suggestion engine. Settings save themselves. Adjust your chirp point, tweak your espresso window, update your reference bean — everything saves as you go. No button, nothing lost. Cleaner bag scanning. Chocolate, nuts, caramel - flavour notes stay out of the bean name field.
