Varietal vs Dialed In

Follow your recipes. Know your beans. Understand your grind. RECIPES YOU CAN FOLLOW Build recipes with step-by-step pours, ratios, water temperature, and bloom time. When you're ready to brew, Varietal guides you through each step — so your 4:6 method, bloom-and-pulse, or signature recipe is always within reach. YOUR BEAN COLLECTION Log every bag you buy with roaster, origin, process method, tasting notes, and more. Whether you're at a café, a market, or browsing online, your full library is always in your pocket. MANAGE YOUR SETUP Keep track of your brewers, grinders, and recipes all in one place. Create custom recipes tailored to specific bean and equipment combinations — so when you find something that works, you can recreate it exactly. SMARTER GRIND RECOMMENDATIONS Varietal learns from your brew logs. Based on your past brews with similar beans and equipment, it can suggest a starting grind setting — less guesswork, more consistency.

Dialed In is the shot logging companion built for home baristas who take their craft seriously. Whether you're dialing in a new bean or chasing a personal best, Dialed In tracks every variable that matters so you can pull better shots whether you’re learning or an experienced barista. **TRACK WHAT MATTERS** Log shot time, dose, yield, grind size, and notes alongside every shot. Each entry builds a complete picture of your technique over time. Use the in-app timer with a tap, or enter the time your machine already provides. Either way, your data is captured accurately and consistently. **KNOW YOUR EXTRACTION** Every shot is automatically labelled — Very Under, Slightly Under, Good, Slightly Over, or Very Over — based on your brew ratio or shot time. See at a glance what went wrong and what went right, without doing the math yourself. **SEE YOUR TRENDS** The trend charts lets you visualize extraction time, grind setting, and brew ratio across your recent shots. Spot the moment your dial-in clicked, or when an adjustment threw something off. **MANAGE YOUR BEANS** Keep a library of your coffees. Log shots against specific beans and see how each one performs as you work through a bag. **PREMIUM: iCLOUD BACKUP & CUSTOM FIELDS** Back up your shot history automatically to iCloud and restore it anytime. Add custom fields to capture anything your workflow requires — water temperature, crema color, acidity, specific flavors, or anything your heart desires. Dialed In is built for iOS and feels at home on your iPhone. No account required. No subscription needed to get started.
