Log the coffee you drink, one cup at a time, and you'll start to see which flavors you really like. COFFEE DAYS brings together a coffee journal and reading to help you get to know coffee. No account needed. - LOG A CUP Origin, roast level, and one of five faces for "How was it?" That's one cup. You can add a photo and a note too. - YOUR TASTE, AS A SHAPE Start with the 6-question Coffee Profile quiz. It shows your current taste as a diamond shape across four axes: bitterness, acidity, body, and sweetness. The shape isn't fixed. As you log, it moves to match what you drink. If you add the taste notes you noticed, they take priority over the origin's typical profile. - WITH YOUR BUDDY On the Home screen, a buddy you choose from 12 keeps you company. It suggests just one next step for the day: today's experience if you haven't done it yet, or which day of your streak today would be. - FIND YOUR NEXT CUP The app suggests origins that match your taste, from 30 countries. Countries you've tried get a stamp in your Coffee Passport. - JOURNAL Read back your entries, arranged by month. You can also turn a cup into a paper-and-illustration image to share. - EXPLORE AND LEARN Explore is a guide to browse: 30 origins, 20 drinks, and 10 pieces of gear, all searchable in one place. Learn has 22 articles and 273 quiz questions. All articles are free. - TODAY'S COFFEE EXPERIENCE Each day brings one way to enjoy your coffee: savor it for five minutes with sound playing, spend 30 seconds on the aroma alone, or read one article. There are 60 days of them. You can also choose a single morning reminder. - COFFEE TIME A 5, 10, or 15-minute timer with rain, forest, campfire, or wave sounds, for slowly enjoying a cup. - YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE Your entries and photos are stored only on your iPhone. They are not sent to the developer's servers. There is no iCloud sync. You can export your entries as JSON from Settings, and delete all data there too. Open Settings from the gear at the top right of Home. - ADS Banner ads appear at the bottom of the Learn, Explore, and Journal screens. They don't appear on Home or on the logging screens. - COFFEE DAYS PREMIUM Removes ads. Lets you add taste notes, brew method, shop and price, process, variety, and 15 flavor tags to your entries. Adds process, variety, and brewing collections to your Passport, and lets you turn each month's summary into a monthly report image. In Coffee Time, you can use forest, campfire, and wave sounds in addition to rain. Monthly and yearly plans are available. Both include a 7-day free trial; when it ends, the subscription automatically becomes paid. Prices are shown in the App Store. - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase, or when the free trial ends if you start one - The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the free trial or current period, and the plan price is charged - Renewal is charged within 24 hours before the end of the current period - You can cancel and check your next renewal date in iPhone Settings > your name > Subscriptions - One free trial per Apple ID across both plans; eligibility is determined by Apple - FREE WITHOUT A SUBSCRIPTION You can keep logging cups for free, and your entries and photos stay readable. Articles, quizzes, the guide, and exporting stay free too. Detailed logging, Coffee Time sounds, monthly reports, and Passport collections are part of Premium (including the free trial). - BEFORE YOU START Articles, origin descriptions, the quiz, and suggestions are general guides. Even from the same origin, the taste changes with the beans, the roast, and how you brew.
