What’s new

Version 1.2.10 · Updated September 3, 2026

Decaf, done properly. CAFFEINE PREFERENCE Tell Shot of the Dark whether you want to see everything, hide decaf, or see decaf only. Set it when you first open the app, change it any time in Settings, and it applies everywhere — Discover, recommendations, and the weekly staff pick all follow it. A BIGGER DECAF SHELF Dozens of decaf coffees from independent specialty roasters, each labeled with how it was decaffeinated — Swiss Water, mountain water, sugarcane ethyl acetate, CO2 — because the method changes how the cup tastes. A NEW START Onboarding has been rebuilt from the ground up. Fewer steps, clearer choices, and you can skip straight to logging. FIXES - Searching for a roaster with an accent in its name now works however you type it, and the accent survives into your log. - Several smaller fixes to logging and the weekly staff pick.
