Coffee is really something special, isn’t it? Of course, its uniquely calming and blissful aroma is amazing, but what truly makes it the ultimate romance is how even the slightest changes in factors—such as the origin of the beans, roasting methods, water quantity and temperature, brewing equipment, or technique—can lead to completely different results. I've been captivated by the charm of coffee for several years now. I’m still just a rookie, but over time, I’ve gathered quite a collection of coffee bean packages and recipe notes handed down from my fellow coffee lovers. While it's enjoyable to just look at them, a problem has arisen—I often struggle to find a specific recipe I want to use or check details about a particular bean I loved. That’s what led me to come up with this app. The Recipe Feature allows you to manage essential details such as bean quantity, grind size, water temperature, and more, while also providing timers for each brewing step. The Bean Collection Feature helps you keep detailed records of beans, including their origin, roaster, roasting method, hardness, and more, along with a personal rating system from 1 to 3 stars to track your preferences. Since I also enjoy visiting cafés, I added a Café Log feature where you can record café visits, track average ratings for each place, and jot down coffee-related notes as an extra perk. At its core, this app is a passion project—an indulgent collection of all the features I, as a coffee enthusiast, personally wanted. But since I put in the effort to create it, I figured other coffee lovers like me might find it useful too, so I decided to release it on the app store. That’s all! If you’re interested, please download it and make it a companion for your coffee journey!
