Make every pour-over more consistent with Carafe, a guided coffee timer for newcomers learning manual brewing and enthusiasts refining their technique. Follow clear timing and weight targets, build your own recipes, and review completed brews to improve consistency over time. GUIDED BREWING • Follow cumulative water targets and stage-by-stage timing guidance in one glanceable view. Carafe displays your current step, expected scale weight, pour target, countdown for timed stages, and overall recipe progress. • Keep guidance visible beyond the app with background stage reminders and Live Activities. • Scale recipes to your desired output while preserving its coffee-to-water ratio. • Choose metric units using milliliters and grams, or U.S. customary units using fluid ounces and ounces. BUILD YOUR OWN RECIPES • Create recipes with preparation steps, multiple timed pours, rest periods, actions such as stirring, and a final drawdown stage. • Edit, duplicate, and reorder recipes to build a personal library for your favorite brewing methods and coffees. • Duplicate an existing recipe to experiment without changing the original. • Start immediately with an included five-pour example that demonstrates Carafe’s guided brewing flow. REVIEW AND REFINE YOUR BREWS • Keep an on-device history of completed brewing sessions. • Review desired output, total brew time, and final-stage duration for each completed brew. • Add expected timing ranges to recipes so Carafe can classify results as early, on target, or long. • Use your timing results to spot inconsistencies and decide what to adjust on your next brew. A CLEAN, FOCUSED EXPERIENCE • Choose the precision of intermediate scale targets and how frequently the guided weight target updates during each pour. • Customize temperature units, background reminders, notification sound, and foreground haptic cues. • Enjoy a minimalist interface designed to keep essential information visible without distracting you from the brew. Your recipes, settings, and brew history are stored on your device. No account or cloud sync is required. Carafe collects limited pseudonymous usage and technical data for product analytics, but excludes editable recipe and stage text as well as local recipe, brew, and stage identifiers. Optional remote Live Activity updates send temporary information about an active brew. See Carafe’s privacy policy for details. Carafe is designed for people who brew with a coffee scale and want a more structured, repeatable process. Whether you are following your first pour-over recipe or fine-tuning a complex technique, Carafe helps you stay focused from preparation through final drawdown.
