Bean AI is the coffee nerd's catalog app. Scan any bag with your camera and AI instantly reads the label - brand, origin, roast level, process method, tasting notes, and more. Then let Claude fill in what the bag didn't say — and generate personalised brewing recipes for every method you use. SCAN OR TYPE Point your camera at any coffee bag and Bean AI extracts every field from the label in seconds using on-device OCR and Apple Intelligence. No bag handy? Add coffees manually - just type the roaster name and coffee, and let AI do the rest. CLAUDE AI ENRICHMENT Tap the AI button and Claude fills in what the label didn't tell you: country of origin, region, altitude, varietals, certifications, tasting notes, and even a product photo. It draws on knowledge of thousands of specialty roasters worldwide. Free users get 20 enrichments to try it out. Requires internet connection. BREWING RECIPES (PRO) Every coffee gets a personalised Brewing tab with recipes tailored to that specific bean — its roast level, origin, and process method all factor in. Recipes for: • V60 at 15g and 18g — water temp, bloom, pours, total water, brew time • Orea O1 — base recommendation, pour schedule, bypass, flavour notes • Aeropress — orientation, steep, stir, press duration • Espresso — dose/yield/time, turbo vs standard, temperature • SOUP (Spro Only Unpressurized) — dose, yield, time, character BREWING INTELLIGENCE (PRO) Every coffee also shows how many days to rest it after roast before you open the bag, and the window when it's at peak flavor. A visual bar on each detail page shows exactly where you are in the freshness window. SHARE ANY BEAN Tap the share button on any coffee to send a formatted summary — origin, roast, tasting notes, peak flavour window, and bag photo — to any app via the iOS share sheet.

Each row shows the bag photo, roast level, origin, tasting notes across two lines, time since roast, and a compact peak flavor bar. Your view preference is saved between sessions. We also fixed AI enrichment for manually added coffees — tasting notes and bag images now come from the roaster's actual website rather than Claude's general knowledge, so you get the real flavor profile instead of generic guesses. ### 1.3.1 — 2026-04-13 Brewing Tab Each coffee now has a Brewing tab with AI-generated recipes tailored to that specific bean — its roast level, origin, and process method all factor in. Tap the sparkles button to generate recipes for: • V60 at 15g — water temp, bloom, pour timing, total water, and brew time • V60 at 18g — same recipe scaled up, with any technique differences noted • Orea O1 — flat vs curved base, pour schedule, bypass notes, and what to expect • Aeropress — inverted or standard, steep time, stir, press duration • Espresso — dose/yield/time, turbo vs standard recommendation, temperature • SOUP — dose, yield, time, and flavour character Share Bean Tap the share button in the toolbar on any coffee detail page to send a formatted summary — origin, roast, tasting notes, peak flavour window, and bag photo — to any app via the iOS share sheet. ### 1.3 — 2026-04-11 Brewing Tab Each coffee now has a Brewing tab with AI-generated recipes tailored to that specific bean — its roast level, origin, and process method all factor in.

You get 20 enrichments included with the free tier. Added manual entry: no bag to scan? Type a roaster and coffee name and let Claude fill the rest automatically. Also added Co-Ferment to the process method options, and fixed a bug where running AI enrichment a second time wouldn't pick up changes you'd made to the fields. ### 1.1 — 2026-03-27 Claude AI Enrichment (Pro) Tap the AI button on any coffee and Claude fills in what the label didn't say — origin, altitude, varietals, certifications, tasting notes, and more. Works from just a brand name and coffee name. Add Coffees Manually No bag? No problem. The new "+" menu lets you type a coffee directly. Pro users can tap "Fill with AI" once they've entered the name and Bean AI fills everything else — including finding a product photo automatically.
