Nail down the conditions once, and reproduce that great cup any time. - Log the beans (name, origin, roast), the method (V60, Kalita, French press, AeroPress, espresso and more), water temp, grind, dose, water and brew time. - See the brew ratio (e.g. 1:16) calculated automatically from dose and water. - Use the built-in brew timer while you pour, and save the measured time to the recipe. - Rate acidity, sweetness, bitterness, body and overall on a 5-point scale, add tasting notes, and pin your best recipes to the top. - Search by beans, origin or notes, and filter by method, roast or favorites. Duplicate a recipe as a starting point for your next dial-in. - Private by design: no account, no login, no cloud. Everything stays on your device.
