Viel Potenzial
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

Make A Better Brew
This app has really let me dial in my morning coffee into the best it can be. Goodbye forever bitter and burnt Starbucks.
AI Icon
One star lost.

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
Nearly perfect
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!

Great app! Worth the one-time purchase
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!

Pretty good for AP
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.

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
Love it!
Love this app. Been using it to record all the beans I bought. I hope you add the ability to manually add varietals.
Finally an iOS forward coffee tracker
Loving the app and great design.

Super Geeks ❤️ This
If you love data you and willing to document your coffee experience, this is the app for you.
The Ideal Companion app for coffee nerds
Some apps you can just tell how deeply the developer cares, and this is definitely one of them. Really thorough app with tons of options, lots of flexibility for what you want to track and how, great tools for identifying how to improve your coffee making, and the app just feels GOOD to use.
I’ve been using coffee book for a couple of years now, and it’s become one of the most essential pieces of my coffee-making setup.

One feature missing
Please add an option to disable iOS autolock when app is opened. Thank you very much.
Best out there
This is my go to coffee tracking app. Tracks all of the details I care about for refining my morning espresso routine.
Response from developer
Thank you so much for your kind words! Here’s to many happy espressos 😊
More methods needed
I appreciate this is for manual brewing mostly but support for other types of brewing would be nice, i.e pods (including reusable) & other specialty coffee products such as pre measured instant sachets, brew bags etc. there are so many other kinds of products out there these days that aren’t whole beans with filter or espresso. It would also be nice to have a feature to log basic caffeine intake also, such as tea or cafe takeout, if the app is going to link into health data it would be ideal to able to log all of my caffeine intake in one place, variables like cup size, shots, or type of tea etc. I know it would be rough estimations over correctly measured like a manual brew but massively preferable Instead of having to log it separately or pay an additional fee for another app that logs general caffeine intake and not just what I’ve brewed manually at home. Perhaps this is beyond the scope of what this app is really for though, but it would be nice to have it all on one place.
Change logs always the same, severely outdated and utterly useless. Very irritating. Why am I updating my app, what am I updating it for? Please keep on top of this very basic information.

Best coffee tracker out there
Besides some minor UI bugs, the app has everything you need to track your coffee routines in an appealing interface. I tested all available optiones and this is by far the best, independent of your brewing style (filter, espresso, aeropress, french press, etc.).
The only improvements I have is to add a paper filter option for the puck prep and to fix some of the rare UI bugs (like country selection for blend coffees).
But let me be clear, these issues only make it a 4,9 instead of a 5, the app is still awesome.

Annoyingly asking for a review
Just started using the app (less than 5 minutes) and this was the third time I got a request to rate the app.
I’ll review the rating once the app asks again at a better time.

Response from developer
Coffee Book will only ask for a review after you've made a couple brews, if you saw this, it's because you were using it! I've increased the amount of brews it'll take to trigger to avoid you getting the request so soon.
Great app
I really like this app. It has all the functions I need and I can store and save my recipes and coffees. Great work
Response from developer
Great to hear you enjoy the app! It would be lovely if that one star could be increased. Please get in touch using the email inside the app if you have any feature suggestions :) Alex
