Make your next cup with a clearer plan—and remember what made the last one good. Beanrova brings guided brewing, espresso curves, a bean library and a coffee journal together on iPhone, iPad, iPhone Duo and Apple Watch. Start with a recipe, follow the pour, then keep the numbers, photos and tasting notes for next time. SEE EACH POUR Follow an animated side or top view showing where to pour, how wide to circle and how fast to go. Scale recipes to your dose, water and ratio. With a compatible Bluetooth scale, get guidance from measured flow and target weight. Without one, use the recipe timer. RECORD YOUR ESPRESSO Keep shot time, yield and flow, with pressure and temperature when supported by your equipment. Compare curves, record first drip and pre-infusion, and keep a plan for the next shot. Traditional machines, manual levers and supported smart machines share one workspace. KEEP A JOURNAL YOU CAN RETURN TO Finished brews save automatically. Edit or add tasting notes later, rate the cup, and attach photos of the coffee bed or the coffee itself. Keep roast dates, origins, processes and grinder settings alongside your beans. Export a JSON backup or CSV when you need it. EXPLORE RECIPES AND COMMUNITY Use sourced brewing methods, make your own recipes or import Brew Guide files. Share a recipe, espresso curve, bean or brew note with photos. Read discussions, comment, report content or block a user. Community posting requires iCloud and a username; everyday brewing does not. CHOOSE YOUR TOOLS Connect supported scales, pressure sensors, thermometers and coffee equipment. Compatibility varies by device—check the in-app list. A clearly labelled demo scale lets you explore without hardware. AI IS OPTIONAL Use Apple Intelligence where available, or bring your own key for a supported cloud provider. You choose what to send, with separate permission for photos. Photo analysis offers observations, not a measurement of taste or extraction. Timers and brewing work without AI. MADE FOR THE SPACE YOU HAVE On iPhone Duo, guidance and live readings use separate areas on the inner display, adapting between the outer screen, open display and book pose. iPad offers more room for preparation, curves and notes. Apple Watch keeps key cues close at hand. No advertising or tracking. Records are stored locally, with optional private iCloud sync. Community posts are public only when you choose to publish them. Cloud AI services may charge separately. Available in English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French and German. Device and author names identify compatibility and recipe sources; no affiliation or endorsement is implied. ## Is Beanrova safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess Beanrova. ## Is Beanrova legit?

Raise your Apple Watch and the brew is waiting in the Smart Stack – tap it to open Beanrova on your watch. Vibrations you can tell apart Every cue now has its own rhythm, so you know what to do without looking: light ticks for 3-2-1, two strong taps to pour, three quick taps for faster, two slow taps for slower, one tap when you're almost there, three long beats to stop. Feel each one in the watch's Settings › Vibration guide. Almost there A new cue shortly before each pour reaches its weight, so you can ease off in time. Right on the beat The 3-2-1 and "Pour now" are counted on the watch itself, so they land exactly when the next pour begins. iPhone Duo, folded Every screen now keeps its controls at the top, just like Home, and Start runs the full width. Rate, guide and feedback The top of Settings has three quick buttons: rate Beanrova, open the user guide, or report a problem. ### 1.3 — 2026-11-12 Start where your thumb is Start Brewing now sits at the bottom of every brew screen, next to your devices – no more scrolling to begin. Laid out for iPhone, iPhone Duo folded and open, and iPad. Connect with one tap Tap the device button and nearby scales, pressure sensors and machines appear straight away. One more tap connects. For pour-over, the sheet closes by itself as soon as your scale is ready. Your machine, found for you The Smart page looks for GaggiMate, Gaggiuino and Meticulous on your Wi-Fi by itself – even machines that don't announce themselves. More for GaggiMate • Hand your Bluetooth scale to GaggiMate right from Beanrova, so the machine stops by weight. • Bring the shots stored on your GaggiMate into History, with their curves. Stops right on target When Beanrova stops a shot at your target weight, it learns how much still drips into the cup and stops a little earlier next time. Statistics History › Statistics shows how much you brew, the coffee you use and what it costs, your average rating and your favourite methods and coffees – for 7 days, 30 days, a year or all time. Apple Watch cues you can't miss While you pour, Apple Watch counts down 3-2-1 with a tap each second, then fills the screen with “Pour now” and a strong tap. With a scale it shows big arrows and taps up or down to pour faster or slower, and tells you when to stop. Brewing water Save the water you brew with and see how it compares with the SCA water standard. Mix your own from distilled water and minerals – Beanrova works out the grams – and convert hardness between ppm, °dH, °fH and more. Every brew remembers its water. SCA cupping form Score a coffee on the SCA cupping form – seven attributes, uniformity, clean cup, sweetness and defects – and get the total, the grade and a flavor chart. Freeze your beans Freeze a whole bag or just a portion. Days in the freezer don't count as rest, so a coffee's age stays right after thawing. Calmer setup screens Less-used options are tucked under More options. ### 1.2 — 2026-11-10 A brand-new camera Scanning a coffee bag now uses a camera built for the job. Hold your iPhone or iPad upright or sideways – the preview and the photo always stay the right way up. Zoom, flash and switching lenses are all there. Reads your bag better Apple Intelligence now helps read the label: roaster, origin, process, variety, roast date and weight, in many more languages. Every field is checked against the printed text, so nothing is made up, and a best-before date is never mistaken for the roast date. Pour-over that scales properly Change the dose or ratio and Beanrova keeps the recipe's shape: the bloom stays at about twice the coffee weight, each pour keeps its share of the water, and when you brew a much bigger or smaller batch you get a tip on grind and water temperature. Olá, Brasil! Beanrova now speaks Brazilian Portuguese, and translations in every language have been tidied up. ### 1.1 — 2026-11-09 Edit your own community posts and comments, add library photos, and find finished coffees in a collapsible section. Improved photo orientation, automatic note saving, draft recovery, Duo layouts and device connections. ### 1.0 — 2026-11-05 No release notes. ## More apps by Yukun Sun - [Platewell](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/platewell/id6825871573) - [FilmRue – Film Camera](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/filmrue-film-camera/id6830344218) All apps by Yukun Sun: https://appshunter.io/developer/6825871575 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
