IT Guy & Coffee Nerd

"

I built Lumo because I was tired of wasting $30 bags of beans.

As a home barista and software engineer, I was frustrated by generic recipes that didn't work for my gear. I'd spend hours dialing in each new coffee, wasting shots, wasting money.

So I built Lumo—combining my passion for espresso with smart technology that actually understands your machine. No more guessing. No more wasted shots. Just perfect coffee, every single time.

Let's stop wasting beans together.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the smart recipe generation work?

expand_more

Lumo's recipe engine is built on data from hundreds of real café recipes and barista techniques. It looks at your coffee properties (origin, roast level, age), your specific equipment, and your drink preference to calculate optimal brewing parameters. The more you use it and give feedback, the better it gets at matching your taste.

What equipment does Lumo support?

expand_more

Lumo works with any espresso machine and grinder combo. From entry-level machines like Gaggia Classic to prosumer setups like La Marzocco Linea Mini. You input your equipment specs once, and recipes automatically account for your specific gear.

How does pricing work?

expand_more

Lumo Pro is currently available for just $9.99/month (an 85% discount from the regular price). This includes 30 smart recipe generations per month, unlimited manual recipes, and full access to all features like bag scanning and taste-based dial-in. You can cancel anytime, and we offer a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Can I use this for milk-based drinks?

expand_more

How accurate is the coffee bag photo analysis?
