Devices compatibility

The Kafmasino app is compatible with most popular phones and tablets. To set up and use your Kafmasino products and services, you must install the Kafmasino app on a compatible device running one of the following operating systems:

Apple iOS 11.0 or higher.
Android 8.1 or higher.
Bluetooth 4.0+

Installation

Below are the download links for Apple and Android operating systems:

Landscape view

The landscape view of the application is the most comfortable to use on large smartphones and tablets. It allows you to view all the options of the application and to make the most of the graphs and data.

Coffee

From the Coffee section you can control the infusion at all times, and you also have a series of interesting data that allow you to visualise at all times what is happening in the extraction.

Coffee view

By clicking on the "Coffee readings" section you can simplify the number of data displayed in real time.
Clicking on the current profile will display a quick selector of the stored profiles. This allows you to send directly without having to access the recipe screen.
By clicking on the edit icon, the temperature parameters and the cup weight setting can be modified. This option will only apply if the scale is switched on at the time of brewing.
The curved arrow icon allows you to advance to the next step of the recipe when making coffee.
Press to start infusion.
Rinse the grouphead to clean.
Scale tare. It is not necessary to run a tare before starting an infusion as it is automatically tared.
By clicking on the icon, the operation of the infusion is modified. The manual mode allows the flow and pressure to be changed at any time.
By repeatedly clicking on the graph, the size of the graph can be changed.

Advanced recipes

Advanced recipes allow you to create any combination of flow and pressure steps. The temperature of each step can be modified and triggers can be activated by pressure, flow and volume.

Duration

Recipe name.
Recipe description (optional).
Indicates the step that is currently being modified.
Step name.
Add new step.
Delete selected step.
Target temperature of the current step.
Step duration. Allows to manage the different options (weight, volume and time) that evaluate the duration of the step.
Step time.
Step mode. The fast mode allows to adjust in less time to the selected target value than the slow mode but it can be slightly exceeded.
Step volume. If set limits the step duration to the volume value. If the volume is equal or greater, it will switch to the next step.
Step weight. If set limits the step duration to the weight value. If the weight is equal or greater, it will switch to the next step.

Target

Step target. Allows to define the target of the selected step.
Target type: flow or pressure.
Progressive target. If enabled it creates a smoothed curve from the previous step.
Function describing the target value of the progressive target.

Limit

Step limit. The limit applies to both pressure and flow paths. For pressure steps a flow limit can be set (it will prevent it from being exceeded or always being greater than a set value), for flow steps the limit acts in the same way but for pressure.
Enable/disable step limit.
Limit target.
Defines whether the target value of the limit should remain above or below.

Trigger

Step trigger. The trigger allows to jump from the current step to the next step if a pressure or flow condition is met.
Trigger type: flow or pressure.
Enable/disable step trigger.
Condition: above or below.
Trigger value.

Stop at

Stop at. Allows you to stop the infusion if a specific volume or weight is reached.
Weight target.
Volume target.
For the volume, the step at which the volume starts to be counted must be decided. For example, it does not make sense to define pre-infusion as a counting step because you would not reach an adequate weight in the cup, as the coffee puck would absorb the water.

Hot water & steam

From this section you can set up the hot water pouring and adjust the power of the steam wand.

Hot water & steam view

Hot water temperature target.
Hot water volume target.
Steam power mode. It is possible to select between 4 power settings, as the power increases, the steaming time of the milk is reduced but the flow rate is increased so that more milk is poured into the jug.

Shot history

From this section you can view the saved shots. You can sort them by different parameters (date, EY, TDS, recipe name, rating). In addition You can also make comparisons between different shots and review the data second by second.

Shot history view

Details, allows you to see the details of the shot such as: roaster, roast level, tasting notes and the grind level used.
Clicking on the graph will open it in full screen and you will be able to inspect second by second the values of flow, temperature, extraction, etc. of the extraction.
In the information box you can see the input and output values of each step, as well as the configuration of each step of the executed recipe.
The edit icon allows you to modify the details of the selected shot.
Button to delete the selected shot.
Button to delete all history shots.
Button to share the selected shot with the community.
The advanced search icon allows you to search the shot history by different parameters. For example: date range, rating range, TDS, EY, bean type...
The recipe comparison icon allows you to access the menu where you can view the behaviour of two shots of the history at the same time, second by second.
Quick access buttons to sort the list of shots.
