First of all thank you for your wonderful app. Unfortunately, the app hangs up in the brewing-screen. So I can fill in all parameters and also save them, but the screen doesn't close, so I'm trapped.
Do you see any solution?
I'm using iOS 14.
Regards from Germany
Rainer

Sorry for the long delay!
Can you reproduce this issue with the latest update?

Greetings

Nice job!
But it would be great if you add sections for input the recipe for each methods.
And add option to paper filters.

One extra feature I would find very helpful to add is a record of the grinder setting used for each bean. I currently write this down so I know what to use if I get the same bean/blend again.

Hi there,
Sorry for the late response, I didn't receive an email.
Thanks for your request.
Recipe is actual one thing on a list which was often asked for but Beanconqueror is in the first place not a recipe App like other apps on the market.
I know there is a need and I'll look for a option/solution, but not in a close range.

Paper filters:
I don't know what exactly you want to request here, in the latest update of Beanconqueror, you have the possibility to add "preparation tools" inside the preparation.
This is thought for different baskets on the portafilter like VST, 18g etc, or like on a V60: netherlands filter, japan filter, cloth filter, metal filters or something like this.

Can you have a look if this would fit your needs, else I'd like to ask you to give me some more details on this request

Best regards
Lars

You can activate different parameters inside the app, also the grind setting.

If you have multiple brews, you can filter by beans, and look up which grinder settings you've set.
Does this help you?
