GUIDED BREW RECIPES Follow timed, multi-step recipes for Aeropress, Chemex, V60, French Press, Kalita Wave, Clever Dripper, and more.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Coffee Profile at Free against Single Origin's $0.99. Coffee Profile also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Single Origin's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Coffee Profile is free to download; Single Origin costs $0.99 up front. Coffee Profile sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Single Origin asks for nothing beyond the download.
Single Origin holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Single Origin has 99 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Single Origin's written reviews are positive against 79% of Coffee Profile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Single Origin ships an update every 10 days, Coffee Profile every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
