Read full description

Coffee Counter is a flexible brew log and coffee manager for people who want to keep track of what they brew, how they brewed it, and what tasted worth making again. Build your coffee setup your way. Add bean flavors, bags, machines, and grinders, then organize them around the way you actually make coffee. Track roast dates, bag status, freeze and unfreeze dates, notes, photos, and gear details without forcing your workflow into one rigid system. Logging a brew is fast, but detailed when you want it to be. Record the bean bag, brew method, machine, grinder, grind setting, dose, yield, brew time, date, and rating. Coffee Counter can remember the fields you reuse most, so your next log starts with the setup you normally use. Use History to look back at your brews, compare ratings, review yield and brew time, and see how a coffee changes with bean age. Whether you are dialing in espresso, comparing filter brews, or just trying to remember which bag you liked best, Coffee Counter keeps the useful details close. Features: Log detailed coffee brews with ratings, dose, yield, brew time, grind setting, and method Manage bean flavors and individual bags with roast dates, status, notes, photos, and accent colors Track machines and grinders, including active and retired gear Set freeze and unfreeze reminders for bean bags View history, averages, and trends by coffee, method, and bean age Choose which logging fields should be remembered for faster repeat entries Sync data with iCloud Export and import backups Coffee Counter is made for flexible coffee tracking: simple enough for daily use, detailed enough when you want to understand what changed.
