Your personal espresso diary. Crema is built around your coffee ritual, because keeping track of your espresso journey should feel effortless. Collect your coffee beans, log every shot, and chase the elusive golden shot. LOG A SHOT AS FAST AS YOU PULL ONE Crema opens straight to the brew screen. Pick your bean, set dose and yield, and save. Smart defaults remember your last settings, so repeat shots take just a few taps. WHAT GRIND SIZE WAS THAT AGAIN? Re-bought a light roast you loved four months ago? Crema keeps the recipes that worked, so you never have to guess the grind size again. WOULD YOU BUY IT AGAIN? Some beans just aren't for you, and three months later you won't remember which. When a bag runs out, mark it finished and note whether you'd buy it again, plus a word on why. Your finished bags move out of the way, and when it's time to reorder, filter them down to the ones you loved. SCAN YOUR COFFEE BAGS Point your camera at a bag and Crema fills in the roaster, origin, roast level and tasting notes for you, using Apple Intelligence right on your device. Each bag gets a cut-out photo, so your collection looks as good as it tastes. ON YOUR WRIST Log shots from your Apple Watch in seconds. Your last recipe is already filled in, so a repeat shot is just a rating away. Tweak a value with the Digital Crown and Crema shows you what you changed. It works even when your iPhone isn't nearby. MADE TO BE YOURS - Add your own tasting notes - Favorite the recipes that work - Back up your beans, brews and verdicts any time PRIVACY Your beans and brews stay on your device. No account needed. Bag scanning runs entirely on-device. Made by a coffee lover, for coffee lovers.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Crema at none against MyAdvent's 1. MyAdvent's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.2). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
