Coffee Profile helps you record coffee beans, roasted beans, brewing methods, drip timers, and tasting notes in one organized workspace. Save grind size, dose, yield, water temperature, dripper, brew steps, and flavor impressions for each recipe. Track green beans and roasted beans separately, then connect them to your daily brews and tasting notes. Use it as a coffee log, pour-over timer, cupping notebook, and recipe archive for home brewing, specialty coffee practice, and cafe workflow review.

We provide high-quality coffee from Kyoto and advocate for Japanese coffee culture, coffee community, and homebrew. Working together, we aim to realize a sustainable future in coffee.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kurasu at none against Coffee Profile's 1. Kurasu also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
