Everything you need to go from your first V60 to Coffee God, in one app. Meet Brewy - Your companion Brewy knows your grinder, your machine and the bag you are on. Tell Brewy how the cup tasted and you get one clear fix for tomorrow. "Go to 5 on the Fellow Opus." "Drop to 92°C." "Bloom 10 seconds longer." Real settings for your kit, never general advice. Every brew you log makes the next answer sharper. A Recipe For Your Kit Pick your brewer, grinder and bean and Brewy builds the recipe: dose, grind setting, water, temperature, and a pour schedule to follow. Every recommendation stays inside the range your grinder and machine can actually do. Over 800 grinders, espresso machines and brewers are already in the app, from De'Longhi and Breville to Fellow, Baratza, Hario and AeroPress. Track Your Brews, Tastes and More Dose, grind, temperature, ratio, time and yield for every brew. Origin, process, roast level and roast date for every bag, with a tracker that shows how much is left. Your streak and your history, searchable by day, method and score. BrewIQ knows when a bag is still degassing, at its peak, or fading, and adjusts its advice to match. See Your Taste Evolve Insights show which flavours you rate highest, which roasts and origins suit you, and how your scores move over weeks and months. Your palate, measured.
