Dialing YOU – a companion iOS app for the Sanremo YOU enabling Brew By Weight, remote control and live extraction metrics & charts

Download the Dialing YOU iOS app on the app store now

If you don’t have a connected scale yet, I highly recommend you getting a Bookoo Themis Ultra Mini, you can get 5% off on Bookoo’s site with code FRANCOIS or order it on Amazon.

๐Ÿ“Š Real-Time Extraction Chart Watch your extraction unfold on a live chart that plots pressure, flow rate, and volume against time, frame by frame. When using a Custom Profile set-up on the machine, spot extraction phases from pre-infusion, blooming to post- infusion ramp down.

โš–๏ธ Brew-by-Weight: Automated Yield Control Pair Dialing YOU with a compatible Bluetooth scale (Acaia or Bookoo supported at the moment) and let the app stop your shot automatically, every time. The Brew-by-Weight engine predicts how much liquid will keep flowing after the pump stops, accounting for network latency, valve delay, and residual drip and sends the stop command at exactly the right moment. It learns from every shot, so accuracy improves the more you use it.

๐Ÿ“ฑ Remotely control your machine Power your machine out of standby or off, monitor and set boiler temperature and steam wand pressure, check your water tank level, and manage your scale connection: all from a single, glanceable dashboard.

โ˜• Full Brew History Every extraction is saved automatically. Review your shot archives complete with peak pressure, average temperature, final weight, yield volume, and a replay of the full time-series chart. See how your espresso has changed as you adjust your grind, dose, or profile.

๐Ÿ’ฆ Machine Calibration Wizard Run the built-in calibration wizard once to teach the app your exact hardware lag: the combined delay of your network and your machine’s solenoid valve. Two calibration passes are all it takes. The result is a personalised stop- time correction that keeps your yield on target regardless of how your machine is set up.

Supports Multiple Scale Brands Acaia, Bookoo and Felicita.

Getting started

The onboarding flow will walk you through everything, but here’s the high-level:

Connect your machine: enter your machine’s local IP address to connect over WiFi

Connect your scale: pair via Bluetooth (Acaia and Bookoo supported for now, drop me an email if you use something else and I’ll look into it)

Once connected, the dashboard gives you live group head temperature, steam wand pressure, and full control to start and record brews.

Brew-by-Weight

This is the feature I’m most excited about. Enable it from the dashboard and the app will walk you through a quick calibration, then let you set a target yield weight. From that point on, the app figures out exactly when to stop the pump so your shot lands on the target, accounting for the lag between the stop command and the last drop hitting the cup.

It won’t be perfect on the first shot with a new bean or grind setting, expect around ยฑ0.5g overshoot initially, but it learns. After 2โ€“3 shots at the same settings it should be hitting the target reliably.

How to give feedback

Found a bug? Something feel off? Just sent me an email at [email protected]. I read everything.

You can also send logs directly from the app: Settings โ†’ Send Logs to Developer. That gives me the diagnostic data I need to track down issues fast.
