## What is 9Bar?

9Bar tells you how your bean behaves before you pull — then gives you exactly one thing to change after each shot. Dial in faster, waste less, build a library of every recipe that worked.

**Bean Intel — before shot #1**
See how this specific bean tends to behave: grind direction, yield preference, freshness window. When real community data exists (10+ pulls from other users), you see real patterns — percentages, ratios, shot times. When it doesn't, 9Bar gives you roast-level estimates grounded in extraction physics and tells you the difference.

**One adjustment after every shot**
Log your shot in under 30 seconds — dose, yield, time, taste, flow. 9Bar gives you one specific adjustment with direction, magnitude, and the extraction reason behind it. Not a checklist. Not five suggestions. One move.

**Save your recipe when it's right**
When your shot tastes balanced — or even just better — save it as your dialed-in recipe. Your library keeps every recipe you've nailed, organized by bean and roast level.

**Your data, your patterns**
See your total shots, beans dialed, and average shots to dial in. Over time, 9Bar surfaces what works for you specifically — which adjustments fix which problems, and how you compare to the community.

**76 roasters. 265 beans. Add your own.**
From Onyx to Happy Mug, Counter Culture to Kirkland Signature. Search by name, roast level, or style. Don't see your bean? Add it in seconds — your shots build the signal for everyone who pulls it after you.

**Your setup, your way**
Set your machine, grinder, basket, and scale. Choose ristretto, normale, or lungo — guidance adapts to your shot type. Switch units between grams and ounces.

Your first 5 beans are free. After that, unlock unlimited beans with 9Bar Pro ($2.99/month or $19.99/year).
