Nine Bar is the coffee journal for people who want to actually understand what they're drinking — not just log it. Track every bag of beans with roaster, roast date, and freshness tracked automatically. Log every pull with dose, yield, time, and pressure, and watch your ratio calculate itself as you type. Save your preferred grind and dose right on the bean, so the next time you buy it, you already know what worked. Nine Bar isn't just for espresso. The built-in drink glossary covers the full range of coffee — espresso and milk drinks, pour-over and filter methods, iced and cold brew, regional specialties like Turkish coffee and Vietnamese cà phê sữa, even dessert and spirited coffees — each with a description and step-by-step instructions that work no matter what equipment you own. Nine Bar works fully offline, with no account required to get started. Your beans, brews, and equipment stay right on your device. The core app is free to use, with no ads, ever — Nine Bar Pro is available for anyone who wants unlimited bean history and equipment profiles. FEATURES - Bean library with freshness tracking and preferred grind/dose per bean - Full brew logging — dose, yield, time, pressure, and a live-calculating ratio - A 21-drink illustrated glossary covering all seven coffee families - Equipment tracking for grinders, brew methods, scales, kettles, and more - Daily streaks to see your consistency over time - Guest mode — no account needed, ever, for the core app Find your nine.

Verdict

The call

Beli and Nine Bar both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Nine Bar's written reviews are positive against 49% of Beli's. Beli's advantage is ratings volume (18K vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
