Coffee Book wird derzeit in populäre europäische Sprachen lokalisiert und wird in den kommenden Monaten aktualisiert. ### 2/5 — MAVO (Kickstarter) Waage fehlt leider *2026-08-11* Bei der Suche nach MAVO wurde mir diese App vorgeschlagen. Leider wird die neue Waage von MAVO noch nicht unterstützt. **Developer response:** Hallo! Ich unterstütze derzeit die MAVO-Skala nicht, daher mache ich keine Werbung dafür in der App. Ich arbeite daran, Unterstützung hinzuzufügen, wenn ich kann, aber jede Skala hat ihren Preis, also dauert es eine Weile, sie hinzuzufügen. Es wird irgendwann kommen! ### 4/5 — Viel Potenzial *2026-04-17* Ich benutze die App seit Jahren und bin ganz Zufrieden aber es gibt einige Stellen die über arbeitet werden könnten. Die Bewertungsscale geht von 1-5, das finde ich zu eingeschränkt schön wäre es wenn man sie in den Einstellungen auf 10 oder sogar 100 Punkte stellen könnte. Auch funktioniert die neue KI Integration bei gar nicht. Die vorherige Version zum erkennen des Kaffees über die Kamera war nicht besonders gut aber hat zumindest ansatzweise funktioniert und geholfen. Auch wäre es schön wenn man ein Kaffee logt und die Parameter wie Mühle Zubereiter (V60, Espressomaschine etc.) die drei Parameter zusammen rechnet und dann den letzten log mit genau dieser Kombination als Ausgang vorschlägt. Im Moment werden die Daten des letzten Eintrags genommen egal welche Mühle oder Zubereitung oder Kaffee. Ich würde auch begrüßen wenn man manuell Varietäten und Aufbreitung eintragen könnte da diese ja sehr zahlreich sind und eine reine dropdown Auswahl wahrscheinlich nie komplett ist zum Beispiel gibt es grade nur eine Geisha Art als Auswahl. Ansonsten ist die App sehr umfangreich und lässt es zu viel Parameter einzustellen und eine gute Datenbank für sich selbst aufzubauen. Viele Dank dafür und sie ist trotzdem ein gute Empfehlung ### 5/5 — Kaufe Bock *2026-03-18* Leider auf Englisch nicht auf Deutsch siper Diese Gerät oder Software ist Zeit zur Zeit immer besser und and Liś by się Deutsch **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung! Coffee Book wird derzeit in populäre europäische Sprachen lokalisiert und wird in den kommenden Monaten aktualisiert. ### 5/5 — Make A Better Brew *2026-03-02* This app has really let me dial in my morning coffee into the best it can be. Goodbye forever bitter and burnt Starbucks. ### 4/5 — AI Icon *2026-02-12* One star lost. **Developer response:** No use of AI for the icon here - hand crafted by a talented artist :) https://dribbble.com/shots/22573215-Coffee-Book-Alternate-iOS-App-Icon ### 4/5 — Nearly perfect *2026-01-26* Such an amazing app with nearly every feature you need to track coffee and brews. My two main gripes that are easy to fix: please add custom varieties and custom tasting notes. OR simply add to these existing lists. Tasting notes are extremely limited. It’d be great if it at least had all the notes from the SCA wheel. And variety list is super tiny to almost be useless. Thanks for making this! ### 5/5 — Great app! Worth the one-time purchase *2025-07-12* I’d recommend this over other apps. Doesn’t harvest data, and it’s a reasonable one-time purchase. Has all the functionality of other apps and has a clean UI. A few suggestions, though: 1) the shots pulled in the dialing-in phase should be calculated in the total usage of a bag (it’s currently not). 2) when “brewing from recipe” it would be great to see deviations from the recipe. E.g, I load a recipe, and any variables I tweak or if output changes for that day’s brew, they’ll show in green/red (up/down) relative to the recipe. That way, I could see changes over time from my starting recipe as beans age, as weather changes etc. Overall great app! Hope to see it evolve over time! ### 3/5 — Pretty good for AP *2025-03-13* This is one of the better apps I've tried for tracking coffee and Aeropress recipes and guides, however the AP seems to be an after thought. For Aeropress it is missing a key step when creating a guide: Plug with timer Fahrenheit configured in settings has a few issues. When creating a recipe it displays the field in F but does a conversion from C to F so inputting 100 is displayed as 212. When looking at brew history it shows the correct temp in F, however when selecting a recipe to brew from they are displayed in C. Fix these and the becomes a 5. The other 8 apps I've tested are either good at tracking beans or AP recipes but this AP comes closest doing both well. **Developer response:** Hey there! Thanks for getting in touch! I’d love to understand what you’d need to better track your AeroPress recipes - please send me an email and we can get it added! alexanderloganapps@icloud.com ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-02-10* Love this app. Been using it to record all the beans I bought. I hope you add the ability to manually add varietals. ## Frequently asked questions about Coffee Book ### What does Coffee Book do?
