A new cup on the home screen
The Coado tile is a dark cup on orange, so it is easier to find when you go to brew.
- On the phone, the icon is that cup, with a little steam above it.
- The same mark is on the Watch and on coado.app.
- Nothing else about brewing changed. The tile is just easier to spot.

If you own it, add it from the recipe
When a catalog recipe uses a device that is not in Setup, the page asks if you own it.
- The line above the button names the device, like Do you own a Switch?
- Add to your setup puts that device in Setup.
- After that, you can brew the recipe.

The bookmark fills when it is already yours
Save a catalog recipe as it is, and the bookmark fills so you do not save it twice.
- A filled bookmark means this exact recipe is on My recipes.
- Change the water, ratio, or steps, and it is a new recipe. The outline stays.
- An outline bookmark still saves a copy to My recipes.

Write the recipe you already know
Add a recipe from your notes, a café, or a brew you already make. It lives on My recipes.
- Add a recipe on Home and on My recipes, even when the shelf is empty.
- Pick a method first. The editor starts from that method's usual numbers and steps.
- Change the pours, waits, and water, then save it as yours.
- Grind is Extra fine through Extra coarse. Same seven sizes on catalog recipes.

Advanced is how you start a brew
Dose, ratio, temperature, and grind are on the setup screen unless you switch to Simple.
- Temperature uses the same stepper as coffee and water.
- Simple mode is still there if you want fewer fields.
- Brew step notifications stay off until you turn them on in Settings.

The recipe page talks like a kitchen
Under the steps, Tips is a short note from the source. Internal catalog wording stays out of the way.
- The line under the title is the short description.
- Tips is setup or how to brew, not audit language.
- When amounts vary, it says start in the range and adjust to your pot.

Origin suggestions that match the bag
After you pick a country, Origin offers more place names people actually print on bags.
- Suggestions are a longer list of regions, not only the 25 stamp names.
- Choosing Country first narrows what you see.
- You can still type a name that is not in the list.
- Saving a place keeps that name. Passport stamps stay the same.

Start on the phone. Follow it on your wrist.
The phone still starts the brew. Apple Watch shows the step you are on, the time, and the same button.
- Open Coado on Apple Watch while a brew is running.
- You see the recipe, the step, and how long it has been going.
- Pause, Continue, Resume, or Finish from the wrist. Same words as the phone.
- The Watch taps when the step changes.
- When nothing is brewing, it says Start a brew on iPhone.

Time lives on the step you are on
Every brew now shares one list you work through. If a step is timed, the clock is right there.
- The step you are on is large. The next ones wait underneath.
- A timed step shows how long it should take next to the name.
- The clock appears only while that step is running.
- Next keeps the brew time. It does not start over from zero.
19 August 2026
When there is no timer, brew is a stack of cards
Recipes that never start a clock drop the empty circle. Add a phin in Setup and Vietnamese drinks are ready to brew.
- When a recipe has no timer, brew is a stack of cards. Next slides the top one away.
- Championship AeroPress recipes and espresso drinks like Einspänner now tick where they should.
- Add a phin (Vietnamese) in Setup and Cà phê sữa đá and egg coffee show Brew.
- Kopi O, Kopi C, and Cafézinho match the gear you already own.
16 August 2026
From the bag, start the brew
The bag page keeps one job. Use for brewing opens a new brew with that coffee already chosen.
- Use for brewing is the one button on a bag. It starts a new brew with that bag selected.
- Edit, compare, experiment, and remove sit under More.
- On Journal, when a day has two cups, Compare brews is in the + menu.
16 August 2026
Home stays short. Empty bags step aside.
The path from bag to brew is a little clearer, and the shelf does not pretend a finished bag is still in play.
- New brew says Set recipe, then you set the dose before Brew Now.
- Tap a method, bag, or grinder and you can see the choice before it slides to the front.
- The main button sits at the bottom, closest to your thumb.
- A bag at 0 g moves under Finished bags. Tap it when you restock.
- My recipes live under You. Home shows the three you brew most.

The brew journal and guided timer are ready to live on the counter. No account to start.
- On the App Store and Google Play.
- Brew, log, and save your own recipes. The kitchen stays free.
- Optional Coado+ for insights, the encyclopedia, and backup across phones.
- Delete your cloud account in Settings if you signed in. Brewing still works.

A calmer app, in your language
August was for the feel of the thing. Dark mornings, eight languages, and a site that matches the cup.
- The app follows your phone: light, dark, or whatever the system is set to.
- Eight languages, from the first open to the last note.
- Buttons and type match. Less noise at the counter.
- coado.app is live, with a privacy page you can actually read.
August 2026

Coado+ is there if you want more later. Brewing never needs an account.
- Optional backup so a new phone still has your journal.
- A map of how your brews taste, and which bags earn a reorder.
- Espresso notes sit on a simple chart. You still write the numbers.

Brew a great cup. Then brew it again.
The timer walks the pours. The journal keeps what worked.
- Open the app and brew without making an account.
- Bloom, pour, and swirl get called while you watch the cup.
- Rating, notes, a photo, and how it tasted stay with that setup.
- Tomorrow you can make the same cup again.
