Barista - Coffee Timer 4+

Looks great with the new font! The only thing I wish this app had was a way to see how much of a bag I have left and maybe add a photo as well (like with the Beanconqueror app). I have a coffee subscription so it would also be cool if you could filter (😎) the beans by the attributes you apply to them like country, flavour, or roaster.

Making a new recipe or copying an old one is also not intuitive. The ‘scale parameters’ function works in the exact opposite way you would expect it to. It doesn’t actually update the changes to the existing recipe and you can’t actually save the recipe at all.

It’s also pretty time-consuming to make a variant of an existing recipe. Want to make a recipe with half the amount of coffee? Create a copy, change the weight of coffee, discover the app maintains the amount of water and not the ratio (neither of which are editable), find out the only way to change this is to update each individual step in the recipe, get out your calculator to calculate manually how much water needs to be in each step, and update the values for every step. Easy! 😂

If you expect me to push down the + button for grams of grind for 20 seconds to get to the desired amount of grams, then you don’t understand UX...that goes for the rest of the edit screen too. Apart from that and missing an Apple Watch app with Siri shortcuts, it is a decent app. But but but that edit recipe screen....
