Custom Nescafé Barista App
Unofficial app for Nescafé coffee machines
A custom Nescafé Barista machine app for iPhone. It connects to your Gold Blend Barista or Dolce Gusto over Bluetooth, with no account and no login. Custom recipes and favourites, one-tap connect.
The IPA is unsigned. Install it with AltStore or Sideloadly using your own Apple ID. With a free Apple ID, refresh it every 7 days. TestFlight is coming soon.
I use a Nescafé Gold Blend Barista every day, and the official app kept getting in the way. It logged me out every so often, so I had to sign in and reconnect again and again just to make a cup of coffee.
What it does
One-tap connect
Finds nearby machines, pairs once, and reconnects by itself every time after that.
No account, no login
Everything stays on your phone. No cloud, and no being logged out before your coffee.
Custom recipes
The full drink menu, with your own coffee strength, water and milk foam.
Custom favourites
Save a drink with your settings and your own name for it, then brew it in one tap.

How much water and milk to use, and which capsule, for each drink.

Questions
Is this the official Nescafé app?
No. It is an independent, unofficial app and an alternative to the official one. It talks to the machine directly over Bluetooth.
The official Barista app keeps logging me out or won't connect. Does this help?
That is why I made it. There is no account to log out of: open the app, tap Connect and brew. After pairing once it reconnects by itself.
Which machines does it work with?
It was built and tested with the Gold Blend Barista W and also tested with the Barista Slim. Barista i, 50, Simple, Duo, and Dolce Gusto Esperta and Genio S are supported but not tested yet.
Is it free?
Yes. It is free and open source under the MIT licence. Download the IPA or build it from the code on GitHub.
