Remember every great cup. Skip the bad ones. Find cafes that match your taste - even in cities you've never visited. Most of us forget. You walk back into a cafe you liked, blank on what was actually good, and order a flat white by reflex - instead of the Honduras filter that blew you away last time. Every new order is a 6-euro gamble. CoffeeBee remembers for you. Log a cup in seconds - no sommelier vocabulary, no homework. After a few cups, CoffeeBee learns your taste from your real coffee: turns out you love chocolatey medium roasts and bounce off Nordic light ones. Then it puts that to work: - Coffee diary - every cup you drink out, with a rating, photo and notes. Your searchable coffee memory. - Taste profile - your acidity, body, sweetness and roast preferences, built automatically from what you actually drink. - Highlights - at the cafe, scan the beans on the menu and see which match your taste before you order. Skip the bad bets. - Cafe map - specialty cafes near you, sorted by what fits your palate, not generic top-rated lists. Works even in cities you've never visited. - Flavour game - train your palate and learn to name what you taste, without a barista course. Remember the good ones. Skip the bad bets. Find your kind of cafe - anywhere. Free to use.

A great cup is worth remembering. Dialed is your coffee recipe logbook and brewing companion for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Save espresso and pour-over recipes, brew with a little guidance, and return to what worked. POUR OVER, STEP BY STEP Build your recipe, then brew along with live cumulative water targets, step timers, and haptic cues. Move automatically through bloom, pour, wait, and drawdown at your saved pace. Pause when you need to, then pick up where you left off. ESPRESSO, YOUR WAY Keep the dose, yield, shot time, and grinder setting that worked. Add water temperature, pressure, and pre-infusion when you want the full picture, with the machine and grinder behind each recipe close at hand. BREW FROM YOUR WRIST Open a recent recipe on Apple Watch, or send one from your iPhone. Get ready, then follow live pour-over water targets and step timers, or time your espresso extraction. Haptic cues help you follow the brew without reaching for your phone. FOLLOW EVERY COFFEE Keep each bag and its recipes together. Explore the same coffee as espresso or pour over, rate your recipes, and refine your next cup. Adjust pour-over water amounts and durations to make each step your own. BUILT AROUND YOUR GRINDER Save your grinders and choose a favorite. Dialed adapts recipe entry to their setting style, from steps and clicks to a stepless dial, time, or weight. Add your espresso machines for recipes that use them. FIND WHAT WORKED Search your logbook by coffee or roaster, and filter by brewing method, gear, or recipe measurements to return to a favorite. A LITTLE HELP, ON DEVICE On supported devices, read a coffee bag with your camera or a photo to suggest its name and roaster. For espresso recipes, on-device insights can suggest adjustments based on your recipe, rating, and follow-up answers. Intelligence features depend on device availability; you can always enter recipes manually. YOUR LOGBOOK, CLOSE AT HAND Dialed stores your recipes locally and syncs through iCloud when available. There is no separate Dialed account to create. From the first bloom to your next espresso, make a cup worth repeating.
