First Pull offers nine browser-based espresso tools for beginners, including a shot timer, machine finder, brew-ratio calculator, and shot troubleshooter.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-26 issue.

For: Beginners learning to make espresso at home
Worth noticing: The shot troubleshooter covers sour, bitter, too-fast, too-slow, and no-crema results; the water mixer offers exact mineral recipes.

Field notes

The tools are organized by task, with distinct paths for gear selection, shot timing, ratios, water recipes, and troubleshooting. The page gives some useful operating detail: the machine quiz asks five questions, while the timer targets a 25–30 second shot. It also offers a separate 15-page PDF guide with a dial-in flowchart; that guide is priced at $6.
