You know that feeling when you find the perfect latte at some little café, you're in absolute heaven, and then a week later you can't remember what you ordered or where you were. Yeah. MyCoffee fixes that. MyCoffee is your personal coffee journal. Log every cup, remember what you loved, discover what's near you, and connect with other coffee enthusiasts, one sip at a time. --- FOR COFFEE ENTHUSIASTS You forget great coffee. MyCoffee doesn't. Rate any drink from 1 to 5 stars right after your last sip. Add notes while the flavor is still fresh. Every review saves the shop, drink type, and date. Most people have no idea what they actually like. MyCoffee shows you. After a few reviews, patterns emerge. See your average rating, your most-ordered drink types, and how your taste is evolving. Finding a good coffee shop is harder than it should be. Search nearby shops by GPS or city. See Google ratings, price level, and distance at a glance, then tap straight into logging a review. Your friends have great taste. You just don't know what they're ordering. Follow friends and see their recent reviews in a live feed — what they ordered, where they went, and what they thought. Discover new shops through people whose taste you actually trust. Want to know what's good near you right now?
