Introducing Filtru 3

I’m so excited to finally be able to reveal Filtru 3 to all of you! Inspired and designed with the help of baristas and coffee professionals this app is rebuilt from the ground up. Packed with many useful features it will most definitely impact everyone’s way of making coffee.

Espresso Tools

A touch of Espresso

This has been one of the most requested features, and I wanted to do it right. Brewing Espresso is a very involved process and I wanted Filtru to be the most helpful tool when learning or improving your skills.

With Filtru you’ll be able to do your daily dial-in of the grind settings. The app will keep track of each of your shots and suggest which variables to improve based on the taste profile.

Additionally, with a help of a Bluetooth scale you can keep recording your shots throughout the day, rate, review them or calculate the extraction based on the yields you get.

This whole section of the app has been designed and tested with baristas and coffee roasters, which I’m really thankful for!

ARKit Guides

Dive into Augmented Reality

Using coffee equipment can sometimes be intimidating, with all these parts needing to be assembled or controlled in specific order.

Now, thanks to Augmented Reality you have a chance to try and play around with the equipment at home without making a huge mess!

Simply choose the brew method and tap the View in AR button to place virtual objects on your kitchen counter.

Track & scan coffee bags

Keep a journal of your coffee beans and know when you’re running out of coffee.

Quickly add your coffee bags by pointing your phone camera at them and taking the picture; Filtru will automatically pick out key information to help you add it.

New Brew Methods

Added 6 new brew methods! Clever Dripper, Vietnamese Phin, Turkish Cezve, Batch brew, cupping guide, espresso and few generic ones in case your dripper isn’t listed in the app

Home screen Widgets

Know at a glance how much coffee you’ve got left in your bag or quickly launch your favourite brew guide with home screen widgets.

All Features

but wait, there’s much more!

Download Filtru 3 for your iPhone and iPad from the App Store and play around with new features. If you have any problems or suggestions reach out to me via the support channel on the Filtru app. Happy brewing!

2019 - Year in review

As 2019 closes the decade, we’d like to reflect on the past 12 months and share some of our data with you. We have grown in the number of users and launched very important features to better help specialty coffee enthusiasts.

Below there is a quick summary and breakdown of our usage statistics. We’d like to be open about the way Filtru community grows.

Filtru users have collectively brewed the total of 154,849 cups of coffee. That’s nearly 420 cups a day

With the grand total of 40,000 app downloads on App Store and Play Store, Filtru users have collectively brewed the total of 154,849 cups of coffee. That’s nearly 420 cups a day!

Total of 154,849 cups brewed

We’ve calculated that these total cups of coffee required over 3 tonnes (3070 kilograms) of coffee to brew. Some of that has been purchased directly through our Filtru Shop, a one-stop fresh coffee beans shop, built directly into our app.

Total of 3,070 kilograms of coffee

Similarly, we have counted over 46,000 litres of coffee was used to make coffee with the Filtru app. Integrated brew guides suggest the best way to prepare water, boil it to a temperature and clean/maintain equipment. All that to help you brew a great cup of coffee.

Total of 46,490 litres of water

The year ahead of us looks very promising, with more integrated features, caffeine tracking, Augmented Reality, seamless integration with existing shopping carts to let more and more coffee roasters recommend all of you their delicious coffee.

Stay tuned, and we wish you a very caffeinated year 2020!
