Looking for a smarter way to track your coffee brews?

The free, open-source Beanconqueror app , written by Lars Salbach, now pairs beautifully with the new Half Decent Scale (and the older Decent Scale) via Bluetooth.

In this video, John and Paul walk through how Beanconqueror replaces old-school brew journals with a digital system that logs your data, graphs your pours, and makes sharing easy.

What you’ll learn in this demo:

Brew journaling made simple – Record grind settings, dose, temperature, and notes in one form.

Scale integration – Reconnect your Decent scale with one tap, and start a brew with auto-tare and timer sync.

Live feedback – Watch weight and time as you pour, then see the results plotted on a graph with no smoothing.

Pour-over analysis – Understand consistency, slurry levels, and the impact of pour height on laminar flow.

Review & compare – Save and rate your brews, compare graphs like a “video game replay,” and refine technique.

Share & expand – Export your brews, send data to friends, or connect to other tools like Visualizer.

The app works for pourover, espresso, AeroPress, French press, and more. It’s also designed for tablets in landscape mode, making it easy to use on the Decent tablet.
