EspressoLog vs Better Coffee

Dialing in a new coffee often means starting from scratch. After several test shots you finally find a recipe that tastes great — but weeks later, brewing the same coffee again, it's easy to forget what worked. EspressoLog helps you capture the recipes and tasting notes behind your best shots, so you can recreate them with confidence. Log dose, yield, ratio, shot time, temperature, and — for lever and pressure-profiling machines — peak pressure for every espresso. Rate acidity, sweetness, bitterness, body, and aftertaste to see how each change in the recipe shows up in the cup. Manage your coffees with roast details, freshness tracking, and flavor notes. Keep your machines and grinders on file, and see exactly what equipment was behind each shot. Two coaches are a tap away. The on-device Quick coach reads every shot the moment you save it, no connection needed. For a fuller read, ask the Head barista AI — it goes through what you logged: the recipe, how it tasted, your notes, the bean and how long it's been off roast, your machine and grinder, and your earlier shots on that bean. It answers in plain language with its own verdict and up to three things to try next, and that verdict shows on the shot, marked as the AI's. Either way, it's a suggestion, not a ruling. Your cup is still the last word. Share a shot as a photo, a short video, or plain text with every parameter, tool, and tasting note — ready to paste into a message or a note. Everything you log stays on your device, with no account to create and no cloud backup to manage. The one exception is the Head barista AI: asking it sends that shot's details to our server to write the read. Nothing is sent unless you tap the button, and photos never are. To move to a new phone or keep a copy, export your shots, beans, machines, and photos from Settings as one file and import it anywhere; videos aren't included, and the file goes nowhere unless you share it. Designed for home baristas who want more consistent espresso, faster dial-ins, and better coffee in every cup.
