COFFEE SHELF & BEAN TRACKER Keep a beautiful record of every coffee you own. Log the roaster, origin, roast date, variety, processing method, and tasting notes from the SCA Flavor Wheel. Track inventory so you always know when a bag is running low. FLAVOR WINDOWS Bloom tracks exactly where each coffee sits in its flavor lifecycle based on roast type and roast date. Light roasts peak at 10–35 days. Dark roasts at 4–18. You will always know the best moment to brew. SMART BAG SCANNING Point your camera at any coffee bag. Bloom uses on-device AI to read the roaster, origin, variety, process, flavor notes, and roast date, then fills everything in automatically. No typing, no internet, no cloud processing. BREW COACH & JOURNAL After every brew, log your input and output weights. Bloom calculates your extraction ratio automatically. Rate taste on two axes — sour to bitter, weak to strong — and get specific coaching: grind finer, use more water, increase your dose.
