Algorithm versions

6.9.2 (Oct 28, 2026, 08:12 UTC)

  • In pour-over mode, fixed recipe generation that often failed for immersion drippers with a manual valve. Unless the request asks for immersion or a hybrid, the recipe now defaults to opening the valve at the bloom and leaving it open, and the instructions make clear that a closed steep must be followed by a later pour with the valve open.

6.9.1 (Oct 27, 2026, 06:29 UTC)

  • In pour-over mode, the standard bloom volume used as the starting point is now a multiple of 5ml close to twice the coffee dose. The instruction that every pour except the last uses a multiple of 5ml now also applies when the number of pours does not change.

6.9.0 (Oct 25, 2026, 03:30 UTC)

  • Retired Wasin Style. Saved Wasin Style recipes can still be viewed, sent and saved as before, but no style name is shown for them.

6.8.0 (Oct 22, 2026, 08:51 UTC)

  • Wasin Style can now be chosen only for hot drinks in pour-over mode. It is no longer offered in xBloom mode or for iced drinks, and its instructions for them were removed. Saved xBloom-mode and iced recipes can still be viewed, sent and saved as before.

6.7.5 (Oct 20, 2026, 08:28 UTC)

  • Newly generated recipes now use water at 92°C or lower. Saved recipes at 93–95°C still display, send and save as before, and a saved Temperature (coffee information takes priority) of 93–95°C is read as 92°C.

6.7.4 (Oct 19, 2026, 06:05 UTC)

  • For immersion drippers with a manual valve, the valve open/close steps are now correct on the first attempt.

6.7.3 (Oct 17, 2026, 02:32 UTC)

  • Wasin Style now uses two pours, with adjusted water, rest, bypass, ice and grind.

6.7.2 (Oct 17, 2026, 01:26 UTC)

  • Wasin Style now pours every pour in a spiral, whatever the dripper.

6.7.1 (Oct 16, 2026, 23:42 UTC)

  • Revised the Wasin Style reference recipe. In xBloom mode and pour-over mode, hot and iced recipes now start from two brewing stages at one water temperature, and hot recipes use a bypass to set the strength.
  • In xBloom mode, Wasin Style uses 120 rpm for the built-in grinder again. Saved 80 rpm recipes still display, send and save as before.
  • In pour-over mode, with an immersion dripper whose valve you open and close by hand, Wasin Style steeps the first stage with the valve closed and opens it for the second stage.
  • In pour-over mode, when you generate from a product page URL, the page is now read before the equipment is looked up.
  • Wasin Style grind for an external grinder, and the built-in grinder reference (now 53), now start from the Comandante C40 26-click equivalent.

6.7.0 (Oct 16, 2026, 15:15 UTC)

  • Newly generated recipes now use water at 93°C or lower. Saved recipes at 94–95°C still display, send and save as before, and a saved Temperature (coffee information takes priority) of 94–95°C is read as 93°C.
  • Added Wasin Style. The built-in grinder now also supports 80 rpm.

6.6.2 (Oct 9, 2026, 04:29 UTC)

  • In xBloom mode with the Mighty Panama Geisha style and a listed external grinder, the grind now starts slightly coarser than the coarse end of that grinder's general recommended range, matching the style's coarse grind, instead of staying inside the range.

6.6.1 (Sep 28, 2026, 16:56 UTC)

  • In pour-over mode, when the model identifies a manual-valve immersion dripper but validation fails because no valve open/close action was set, the retry instructions now spell out the valve rule so it can be corrected.

6.6.0 (Sep 27, 2026, 08:07 UTC)

  • Styles can now be selected in pour-over mode. Each style's pour allocation and bloom approach is adapted to the selected dripper's drainage speed, capacity and whether it is an immersion dripper, using a single water temperature.
  • In pour-over mode, the Samo Bloom style blooms with room-temperature (RT) water before brewing with hot water.
  • In pour-over mode, the Opus 5.5 Ultimate Recipe style and the Mighty Panama Geisha style use reference recipes redesigned for pour-over.
  • Retired the Astra Ultimate Recipe style.

6.5.3 (Sep 26, 2026, 08:49 UTC)

  • Generating from a BeanCellar bean page URL now reads the bean details registered in BeanCellar directly, so it no longer fails when the page cannot be opened.

6.5.2 (Sep 25, 2026, 14:57 UTC)

  • Improved validation retries by preserving the original recipe instructions while providing focused corrections.

6.5.1 (Sep 25, 2026, 10:25 UTC)

  • Added the Opus 5.5 Ultimate Recipe style.
  • All styles can now use pours up to 90 ml when generating with the standard Omni Dripper.

6.4.0 (Sep 24, 2026, 02:29 UTC)

  • Changed the iced Astra Ultimate Recipe style bypass to room-temperature RT. The hot recipe temperature is unchanged. xBloom bypass steps now display RT and BP modes.

6.3.5 (Sep 24, 2026, 01:16 UTC)

  • In the iced Astra Ultimate Recipe style, increased the 15 g reference bypass to 20 ml. The brew-water ratio and pour total are unchanged.

6.3.4 (Sep 24, 2026, 00:25 UTC)

  • For the Astra Ultimate Recipe style, adjusted automatic brew-water ratios to 13.5 for hot and 9 for iced, with updated pour allocation and rest times.

6.3.3 (Sep 23, 2026, 11:02 UTC)

  • In pour-over mode, small rounding errors in pour volumes are now corrected to 5 ml increments, with the remaining water in the final pour.

6.3.2 (Sep 23, 2026, 06:55 UTC)

  • Changed the Mighty Panama Geisha style's built-in grinder reference from 70 to 65. Pour timing and water amounts are unchanged.

6.3.1 (Sep 23, 2026, 06:12 UTC)

  • Added a medium-grind reference at setting 50 for the built-in xBloom grinder while keeping grind selection tailored to each coffee.

  • Added the Mighty Panama Geisha style.
  • Changed the Astra Ultimate Recipe style grinder speed to 60 rpm.

6.2.2 (Sep 23, 2026, 04:19 UTC)

  • Adjusted the second and third pours and their rest times for the Astra Ultimate Recipe style. The bloom volume and brew-water ratio are unchanged.

6.2.1 (Sep 23, 2026, 03:41 UTC)

  • Adjusted the hot and iced ratios in Astra Ultimate Recipe style recipes to exclude bypass water while preserving the bloom volume.
  • You can now save recipes to an xBloom account.

6.2.0 (Sep 22, 2026, 19:02 UTC)

  • Updated the recipe-generation model to GPT-6 Luna.

6.1.0 (Sep 22, 2026, 18:33 UTC)

  • You can now choose a style in xBloom mode: the Astra Ultimate Recipe style (a single recipe ChatGPT 6 Astra Ultra developed from recent research papers and world competitions) or the Samo Bloom style (a long, low-temperature bloom).

6.0.0 (Sep 22, 2026, 17:29 UTC)

  • In xBloom mode, flow rates and per-pour temperatures now change more dramatically to suit the coffee.

  • Strengthened correction of invalid results and verification that a supplied product page was actually read.
  • Improved verification of immersion and manual controls for pour-over drippers.

5.6.0 (Sep 22, 2026, 09:51 UTC)

  • Bean or roaster temperature recommendations now take priority, with an automatic or 84–95°C fallback when none is available.
  • In xBloom mode, the fallback temperature remains a guide and pours may still vary by extraction stage.

5.5.1 (Sep 22, 2026, 06:33 UTC)

  • Changed the standard range for the built-in xBloom grinder to 40–65.

5.5.0 (Sep 22, 2026, 04:44 UTC)

  • Improved recipe design for coffees whose roast level cannot be confirmed by using the other available information.
  • Explanations no longer guess at an unconfirmed roast level.

5.3.2 (Sep 21, 2026, 21:43 UTC)

  • Grind setting, number of pours, water distribution and temperature are now designed together.
  • Coffee character, flavor goal, brewing method and equipment behavior are considered as a whole, with clearer reasons for each choice.

5.3.1 (Sep 21, 2026, 14:13 UTC)

  • In xBloom mode, each pour temperature is now designed for the coffee, flavor goal and stage of extraction.
  • Pour volumes are checked more carefully against total water so the brew finishes at the intended volume.

  • Improved advice for unlisted grinders so qualitative guidance and numeric settings do not conflict.
  • Per-pour limits are now applied to the correct equipment instead of carrying over to unrelated brewing methods.

  • Unlisted grinders can now receive clear qualitative advice such as fine, medium or coarse.
  • A grind setting entered by the user remains the priority whether or not the grinder is listed.

  • Greatly expanded supported grinders and the suitable setting range for each model.
  • Grinder behavior and recipe conditions are now combined to recommend suitable settings, including recipes that need a coarse grind.

4.0.0 (Sep 19, 2026, 05:57 UTC)
