Coffee_ is an app that allows you to keep track of what coffee you've bought and quickly see if you like it or don't like it. You can categorize your coffee based on the form like pods, whole bean, or ground, and you can also add notes that way you know what you like or don't like about the coffee. Don't forget to say whether or not you would buy the coffee again so you can see that from the list.
