Drip Timer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Record and refine every cup. Drip Timer is a coffee timer app that helps you manage pour-over recipes, bean information, and brew history in one place. Follow each brewing step with the timer, then save the beans and recipe you used. The Today screen shows today's brew count and recent history, and lets you start quickly from the recipes you use often. You can also keep notes on each bean's origin, roast level, flavor, rating, and stock amount, making it easier to look back on cups you liked. Shape your daily coffee, one brew at a time.
Brew Coach

A quiet coach for slow coffee. V60, Chemex, Kalita, AeroPress, French press, and overnight cold brew - each filter method with its own dedicated timer, ratio calculator, and step-by-step pour schedule. Built around the rituals that filter coffee deserves: V60 cones with a bloom and three pulse pours, Chemex with a slower drawdown, Kalita Wave flat-bottom for evenness, AeroPress with the right plunger pace, French press steeped to the second, and a 12 to 24 hour cold brew that lives on your Lock Screen until morning. Why home baristas choose this over a stack of browser tabs: - Apple Watch advances the next pour with a haptic tap when fingers are wet - Live Activity tracks the long cold brew steep on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island - Each method has its own ratio default, customizable to grams or ounces - Bean log remembers what worked: photo, roast, grind, water temp, tasting notes - iCloud sync keeps recipes and history across iPhone and Apple Watch - No signup, no account. Brewing, methods, Apple Watch and iCloud are free; one-time Lifetime unlock for bean log and custom recipes. Whether the morning is a single V60 by the window or the fridge is filling with a slow overnight cold brew, the timing stays tight and the ritual stays yours. Brew Coffee Timer & Recipe is available for iPhone and Apple Watch.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Drip Timer at 15.6 against Brew Coach's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
