DialHub is the coffee OS for home baristas who want to dial in faster — not just log shots and forget them. Built around your exact machine, grinder, and beans, so advice and history stay tied to your real setup. YOUR COFFEE BAR Save your espresso machine, grinder, scale, and tools. Your gear becomes the foundation for logging, recipes, and coaching. BREW LOG & JOURNAL Track dose, yield, time, temperature, grind, ratio, and more. Build a clear history of what actually worked. DIAL-IN & BREW COACH Get a simple next step from your recent brews on this coffee and setup — keep what’s working, or change one variable with a reason. RECIPES & EXPERIMENTS Save recipes per coffee, compare versions, and run focused tests without losing the thread of what changed. BEANS & TASTING Organize coffees by origin, roast, and process. Rate flavor with more than stars — sweetness, acidity, body, bitterness, and notes. LEARN & CONNECT Short lessons when you want them, plus a community to share recipes and results. One place for your bar, beans, recipes, logs, and next brew. Brew. Log. Dial in. Repeat. DIALHUB PRO Optional auto-renewable subscription. Monthly: $7.99 Yearly: $69.99 Pro remembers your starting point per coffee, machine, and grinder, unlocks full Coach Brew, Recipe Lab, and higher AI / bag-scan limits.
