About

CoffeeDrip

Features
Read full description

CoffeeDrip is a timer for cold drip coffee. Tap a few drops and it tells you whether to open or close the valve. Cold drip takes hours, and the drip rate decides how it tastes. CoffeeDrip measures the rate from your last five taps and compares it with the target of 40 to 60 drops a minute. You get one clear instruction: close the valve slightly, open it slightly, or keep it where it is. AFTER THE BREW Tell CoffeeDrip how the coffee tasted: good, sour, bitter, watery or too strong. It tells you the one thing to change next time, whether that is the drip rate, the grind or the ratio. WHAT'S INSIDE • Timer: elapsed time, drip rate, and how much of the brew is left • Brew: set coffee and water, see the ratio, start the timer • Recipes: save the ratios that work and brew them again with one tap • Journal: every brew with its duration, drip rate and taste • Immersion: a ratio and fridge time calculator for immersion cold brew • A short guide to cold drip • Reminders when a brew is done • Light and dark themes • English and Turkish No account needed. Your recipes and journal stay on your device.
