Used to be easy to use but not anymore. ### 3/5 — Poor usability *2026-03-21* The process of editing a recipe is implemented poorly, much of the editing happens inside tiny edit boxes; reordering of the recipe steps is confusing. The brewing screen is rather unhelpful as the main accent is made on the total recipe time while the timing of the current step is very hard to see. In other words, it is convenient for someone who watches over the brewer’s shoulder asking “how long till it’s done already?”, while it’s inconvenient for the brewer themselves. ### 5/5 — Daily Brew companion *2025-12-10* Like the timing functionality and a water the grounds ratio that I can adjust to 1 or 2 cups - great app ### 5/5 — I Can Do Pour-over! *2025-08-10* Great, very helpful app! A couple of requests, it’d be great if the recipes would explain the logic of their internal equations a little better. For instance, at a 16:1 ratio, there’s a pretty broad range of output grams I can enter where grind weight doesn’t go up or down. It’s nice, I don’t need more granularity, but could I get an indicator that I’m at the gram-to-gram target ratio? Also, the tasting notes field hasn’t worked for me. Trying to edit it freezes the interface and I have to force close the application. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-06-21* Simple recipes, easy to follow. ### 5/5 — Incredible App *2024-10-19* Beautiful, intuitive, and thoughtful. Thank you for making a free resource like this! ### 4/5 — Great App for Beginners! Could be even better with some small additions… *2024-05-06* First and foremost i‘d like to say that I‘ve been using this App for almost a year or so now on a quite regular basis. I love the simplicity of it, the Design and the Ability to quickly take some notes about the latest brew with the ability to go in later to further detail them. The guidance throughout the brew, paired with an optional tasting reminder are really helpful, especially when trying out new brew methods! One of the features that stood out for me is that you can set your Grinder and with just a few taps easily adjust the grind setting of your current brew every time. If you then rate your brew afterwards and tell the app that it was maybe too sour/too bitter for your liking, it will give you recommendations on how to adjust the grind setting (how much finer or coarser), to get to the ideal brew you‘re trying to achieve out of your coffee. A feature that in my personal opinion is absolutely amazing, especially for beginners / intermediate coffee enthusiasts that are eager to learn more about how to improve their coffee experience! However, there is also some critique and features I‘d love to see in the future, as I really like this app a lot more than some of the others out there and would love to see it grow! -The Ability to add a Custom Grinder, that is not currently a given Option in the App (Like the Niche Zero, DF64 Gen2, … or even a Hand Grinder like a Comandante). I feel like it might be fairly simple to give the User the Option to add Custom Grinders, name them and then set the range of possible Grind Settings / Clicks with that specific Grinder so that all of the other features and tips (like the ones mentioned above) would still work seamlessly. -Being able to switch between brewing by a desired yield vs. brewing by coffee input. Let’s say I know that I want to brew 19grams of Coffee in a V60 #2… I would now need to adjust the desired yield to a point, where it then shows 19 grams of coffee to grind. I find it a bit odd though, that even though you can adjust the Ratio in the Recipe Settings (the default is 16, which would translate 19 grams of coffee to 304 grams of water), the range in which it suggests 19 grams 296-311 grams of waterright now I -A way to add Custom Recipes for the already provided Brewers. Specifically with the AeroPress there are so many different ways to brew with it. So I’m a little bit annoyed about the fact that the App only provides a recipe for the “Inverted Method”, whereas I would love the ability to Add other Methods and then being able to compare them based on my notes and ratings. I understand that this one might be a bit more complex, but it would be an optional addition that could really bring the Single Origin App to another level. All of that being said, this is a great app! Keep up the good work😊 ### 5/5 — Incredible App *2024-04-20* Beautiful, intuitive, and thoughtful. Thank you for making a free resource like this! ### 5/5 — great tool *2023-04-13* this app has been great if i just need a reminder on a method or if i want to keep every cup consistent. the app is very clean and easy to use. ## Frequently asked questions about Single Origin ### What does the Single Origin - Coffee Timer app do?
