Using the Odyssey Espresso App

The Odyssey Espresso App is used for

• Obtaining Temperature sensor and Boiler level metrics
• Brew logging
  • Plot flow, brew weight, and pressure with a compatible bluetooth scale and digital pressure transducer
• Toggling between Argos Mode and Classic Mode Temperature Control Settings
• Firmware updates
• QC and troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Connection Issues

If you’re having trouble connecting your Argos to the app, please check that the app has the required Bluetooth permissions

Note: On Android devices, Bluetooth permissions are managed under the Location permission. This is part of the operating system and not something we can change within the app.

Once permissions are granted, try reconnecting your Argos.

Temperature sensor and Boiler level

In addition to showing the boiler level and brew set temperature, the Metrics page of the app provides detailed insights into your machine’s performance, including:

• 🎯 Target boiler temperature
• 📉 How far the current boiler temperature is from its target
• 🌡️ Whether the boiler is overheated or underheated

👉 Read more about how the Argos calculates target boiler temperature based on grouphead temperature here.

If your machine’s LED indicators are not functioning, this data becomes especially valuable, as it shows when the machine has reached the desired temperature.

✅ You’re ready to brew espresso or steam milk once the RED and GREEN lines align.
