Single Origin vs Grindstep

Single Origin walks you through each stage of your brew — from bloom to final pour — with real-time timers, weight targets, and temperature guidance. When you're done, log your tasting notes so you can dial in your perfect cup over time. GUIDED BREW RECIPES Follow timed, multi-step recipes for Aeropress, Chemex, V60, French Press, Kalita Wave, Clever Dripper, and more. Each recipe breaks the brew into precise pour steps, wait periods, and actions like swirling or pressing — so you never have to guess. 60+ BUILT-IN PROFILES Choose from 9 Single Origin recipes, 17 Fellow profiles (including Drops collaborations), and 37 xBloom profiles. Every recipe includes dose, ratio, grind, temperature, and timing. IMPORT & SHARE RECIPES Import recipes from Fellow brew.link share codes or xBloom share links.

Rate your cup with stars and add freeform tasting notes. Search your history to see what worked.

It is 7 a.m. You pull a shot. It runs fast and tastes sour. Your app tells you what you already knew from one YouTube video: grind finer. It never tells you how much. We built Grindstep to answer the real question. It learns how many seconds each step of YOUR grinder moves a shot - from your own consecutive shots - and hands back the adjustment in your grinder's own units with the math shown: your grinder moves about 2.5 s/step on this bean, so go 2.5 steps finer, 12 to 9.5. The engine is deterministic regression over your own shots; it shows the arithmetic it used, is honest about its confidence, and stays directional until it has learned enough of your grinder to be quantitative. Grindstep is local-first: your shots live on your iPhone, there is no account, and you own it with a one-time purchase. FREE, FOREVER - Unlimited shot logging with a built-in timer, repeat-last-shot, and ghosted values - a full log in about ten seconds - The directional recommendation layer (the taste-and-time decision matrix) - 2 active bags, 1 grinder and 1 machine, per-bag recipes, basic stats - All import and export: one-tap Beanconqueror import, CSV import, versioned JSON export/import, and CSV export - your shots stay yours PRO - 14.99 USD once (Lifetime), or 4.99 USD/year with a 7-day free trial. There is no monthly plan. - The quantitative Dial Engine - how much finer, in your grinder's own steps, with the math shown (12 to 9.5), not just "grind finer". - First Shot Forecast - a new bag starts from your own locked history, source-labeled, so you stop sacrificing shots to find the neighborhood. - Brew Control Chart - exact points with TDS, honest estimated regions without, plus per-bag dial-in trails. - Roast-age drift - your dialed settings on an aging curve, with a week-ahead forecast; freezing a bag pauses its clock. - Unlimited bags, grinders, and machines. - Cost per shot and per bag, plus the dial-in-tax stat trending down as the engine learns you. - A Home and Lock Screen widget for your active recipe, and a repeat-last-shot Action Button. - A clean bag-journey share card for the coffee forums. - Optional water and accessory fields for the deep obsessives (off by default). WHAT GRINDSTEP IS NOT - Not a filing cabinet - it computes what other logs only store. - Not medical or health advice; taste guidance is preference calibration only. - Estimated chart placements are always labeled estimated; exact placement needs a TDS reading and shows the standard formula (EY% = TDS x beverage mass / dose). YOUR DATA Your shots live on your iPhone. There is no account, and nothing is uploaded to a server. Grindstep does not sync to a cloud - instead it gives you real export freedom: move your whole archive between devices with JSON export and import, or take it to any other app, whenever you want. Grindstep is designed exclusively for iPhone. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS The annual subscription auto-renews until canceled.
