How to install meBarista APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download meBarista APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads

Tap the APK file you downloaded (nl.digitalthings.mebarista-vv7.beta37-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading). As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

3 ★Did meCoffee go out of business? Seems with the lack of dev support (no replies to ratings, no updates for 1+ year) and inability to complete a purchase on their website it may be so...
4 ★Nice App. Doesnt connect on my android phone but connected fine on my ipad
5 ★Lots of functions and linking to good documentation
1 ★If I could give this zero stars, I would. I ordered the BLE version of the device, since I thought for a few dollars more, I might be able to sell it in future to somebody who had iOS devices. Quoting from the website, "If your Android device supports BLE the choice is up to you : BLE is the newer standard and you would be able to switch to iOS if the situation arises." Seems pretty clear - my Android devices support BLE, and have never had an issue connecting to ANY bluetooth device. The software is buggy, and won't connect, despite trying it on four separate android devices, each running the latest bluetooth software and drivers. I have emailed the developer a half-dozen times; he responded twice, gave me advice I had already pulled from his website, and then disappeared. I now have a $150 paperweight, as he won't accept a return. It *will* work on iOS, but there's no way I'm going to buy a separate phone just to brew coffee! Given the level of support and responsiveness that this developer has shown, I would absolutely recommend that you try some other PID solution.
1 ★Ordered the PID on the 24th of April. Payment was taken. Still have not received the product(as of May 31st). Contacted the company numerous time through the contact form on their website. Never received a reply. Non existent customer service.
2 ★Lee, I also have ble and it connects both from pixel2 but also older nexus 7 2013 which only got ble as unpublished feature. Try enable ble in me coffee setting. Also note you don't actively connect ble via android Bluetooth search like normal. The app does itself once you tell it you have ble. But otherwise I agree 5* product. 4* app. But 2* support due to no reply (yet) to emails since initial purchase emails. Update: meCoffee. Please can you reply to my email. I now have what I presume to be a bricked/broken PID though I didn't do anything between it working except change the brew temperature (it worked, let me brew the coffee and was still working when I turned off). Thanks (I've increased rating since I've found the cause of the bug and a workaround) I had issues with Force closes and crashes when changing setting on my ble enabled device because and the the brew temperature was set whenever I set steam temp or 125° max. 125° coffee is not nice. Also default 125° is set way too low and put control of steam is ineffective. I've sorted what was causing the app crashes and writing to the wrong settings and falling to set steam temperature entirely. Because I am using ble version from android. I had enabled ble from within Bluetooth setting but also disabled the regular bt2 classic settings. From that moment on crash central (even if you re-enable the classic bt setting) until you wipe data/uninstall and start again from scratch. The trick is from a fresh install to jus leave regular bt2 enabled, under no account touch that toggle else your app is broken until you wipe app data and start again. Just additionally enable ble on the first application start which connects to the pid, and then don't touch it again. Also do not change temperature using the+/- buttons when in steam mode which also seems to save into brew temp as you said, and for me additionally breaks app permanently in the same way as toggling Bluetooth in the app.
5 ★Great software to complement the best PID for Silvia. Eagerly waiting for cleaning cycle automation and perhaps integrating with Acaia Bluetooth scales to fully automate brew time. This platform opens up many opportunities!
5 ★Brilliant PID. Now get consistent espresso and setting the steam temperature lower makes frothing milk easier to control.
5 ★Great product with a very nice app - it makes the Rancilio Silvia really fulfil its potential. More different UI layouts would be nice, but that's me really nitpicking :-)
5 ★Great app. Does what it says without issue. Great gadget. Congrats to Jan and his team.
5 ★Connects without issue with the meCoffee. Well set out and makes changing settings very easy.
5 ★It works perfectly on my Silvia v4. The professional support from Jan is great!
