Bean Book vs BrewGi

Bean Book is your coffee journal and brewing companion, with optional Apple AI enhancements for understanding each bag, improving espresso, and discovering what to try next. BUILD YOUR COFFEE LIBRARY Save roaster, origin, region, roast date, process, price, bag size, tasting notes, and photos. Scan a bag label, import a roaster product page, or enter details yourself. Review filled fields before saving. Optional AI helps interpret labels and product information, while OCR and built-in parsing remain available without it. AI DIAL-IN ASSISTANT Turn espresso shot history into practical next steps. Record dose, yield, time, grind, temperature, and taste, then analyze your shot for an extraction assessment, confidence, suggested adjustment, and explanation. Apply supported adjustments to the next shot and track your progress for each bean. PUCK PHOTO DIAGNOSIS Attach a puck photo to your espresso log. On supported Apple image-model runtimes, visual findings can add context about possible channeling and puck preparation, with explanations alongside shot analysis. You can always save the photo and use built-in shot analysis when image AI is unavailable. UNDERSTAND YOUR TASTE Explore your Taste Profile, preference drivers, flavor signals, and trends from scored tastings. Optional AI insights interpret your coffee history and suggest new directions. Generate personalized coffee recommendations with reasons based on the origins, processes, and flavors you enjoy. MAKE EVERY BREW A RECORD Keep multiple tastings, recipes, scores, and notes for each coffee. Explore the flavor wheel, origin maps, roaster statistics, freshness, spending, and Year in Review. Export and import your records, including saved price currencies. QUICK ACCESS Use widgets, Control Center, Siri, Shortcuts, and Spotlight. Supported actions let you log a shot, retrieve your active bean or last shot, and start dialing in. OPTIONAL PRO AND APPLE AI MyBeans Pro is the optional upgrade inside Bean Book. It unlocks supported Apple AI enhancements, with free previews for eligible features. Apple AI requires iOS 27 or later, compatible hardware, Apple Intelligence enabled, and downloaded model assets. Image analysis has separate device and runtime requirements. Manage AI enhancements in Settings. Core journaling, OCR scanning, and built-in insights remain usable without Apple AI.

A pour-over coffee journal for logging every brew. Record beans, grind, water, temperature and time alongside how it tasted, and time each pour with the built-in timer. As your log grows, yield and taste stats show how your coffee is changing. ■ Five steps, then done Beans, brewing, tasting, rating, save. A timer is built in, so you can start it the moment you begin pouring. Add a photo and the cup is captured. ■ A timer that tracks every pour Split a brew into bloom and pours, with the time and water for each. Open a saved brew and the pour guide walks you through the same timing again. ■ A suggestion for your next brew Based on how you rated bitterness, acidity and body, BrewGi suggests one change to try next: water temperature or amount. Your best brew with each bean is one tap away. ■ Yield and strength, calculated Enter dose, water, final beverage weight and TDS, and BrewGi computes extraction yield and brew ratio for you. No refractometer? Ratio alone is enough to get started. ■ Two tasting modes Quick mode covers sweetness, acidity, body, bitterness and finish. Detailed mode follows the SCA approach with up to ten attributes across four temperature stages, so you can see how the cup changes as it cools. ■ Bean collection and inventory Keep origin, process, variety, altitude and roast level (with Agtron) in one place. Add purchase amount and open date, and remaining weight and aging days are tracked automatically from your logged doses. ■ Statistics that reveal your taste Yield trends, a taste radar, brewer and origin distribution, your top-rated beans. The more you log, the clearer your preferences become. ■ Save recipes, brew them again Store a great extraction as a preset and load it next time. Tap "brew again" and the beans and parameters are filled in for you. ■ Share your brews Share a great cup as an image card or a link. Whoever opens it can recreate the same recipe in the app. ■ BrewGi Pro Read the Brewing Control Chart to spot under- and over-extraction at a glance, compare two brews side by side, and unlock full-period statistics. Cancel anytime. Available in English, Korean and Japanese. Pour-over (V60, Kalita, Chemex, Clever), AeroPress, French press, Moka pot, espresso, cold brew — log any method.
