BeanBench vs Dialed

BeanBench is a coffee log for people who brew at home and drink out. Track the beans you buy, the cups you make, and the cafés you visit, then see how your taste develops over time. LOG BREWS, YOUR WAY - Guided timers with stage-by-stage prompts and haptics: V60, 4:6, the BeanBench House recipes, Chemex, Kalita, AeroPress, French press, Stagg [XF], cold brew, and cupping, plus any recipe you save yourself. - Quick manual logging when you already know the numbers: dose, water, temperature, grind (with your grinder's own scale), total time, and drawdown. Add a custom brew method if yours isn't listed. - Espresso too: baskets, prep, pressure profiles, and shot outcomes. BUILD YOUR COFFEE LIBRARY - Scan a bag: photograph the label and BeanBench reads it on your device, including the roaster, origin, process, variety, roast date, and tasting notes. Then you review and save. Photos never leave your phone. - Or import from an AI assistant: copy a prompt, attach your bag photos in the assistant you already use, then paste the reply back. - Track price, bag size, rest days after roast, and whether you'd buy again. Resting reminders tell you when a bag is ready. RATE WITH PRECISION - Five stars, with quarter-star steps. Tap for speed, drag for precision. CHECK IN AT CAFÉS - Log drinks at coffee shops with photos, prices, and ratings. See your visits on a map and in stats. Earn badges as your coffee map grows. SEE YOUR TASTE DEVELOP - The Coffee Passport automatically stamps countries and flavor families based on what you log. - Analytics show brew trends, spending, top coffees, and what you actually reorder. YOUR DATA, YOURS - Everything lives on your device. Optional iCloud sync uses your private iCloud account, with live sync status in Settings so you always know where things stand. We never see your data. - Full backup and restore to a single file. CSV and JSON export for everything. No account. No ads. No tracking.

Dialed is the espresso tracker built for people serious about their shot. Log every variable, understand what went wrong, and make the exact right adjustment - every time. LOG WHAT MATTERS Record dose, yield, grind size, pull time, and temperature for every shot. Add tasting notes and a star rating. The full picture, in seconds. INSTANT EXTRACTION ANALYSIS Dialed doesn't just store your data - it reads it. After each shot, get an automatic diagnosis: balanced, under-extracted, over-extracted, channeling, weak, or concentrated. Then get a specific fix: "Grind 2–3 steps finer," "Target 36–40g yield," or "Check puck distribution." No guessing. No forum rabbit holes. Just the adjustment you need. VISUALIZE YOUR EXTRACTION An interactive extraction spectrum shows exactly where your shot landed relative to the ideal zone. Color-coded severity makes it instantly clear how far off you were and in which direction. YOUR BEAN LIBRARY Add your coffees with roaster, origin, roast date, and notes. Browse every shot you've pulled on a given bean. Know which beans you've mastered and which ones still need work. WEEKLY DASHBOARD See your daily shot counts over the past 7 days, today's average rating, and average pull time at a glance. Build a consistent practice, track it. Whether you're pulling your first espresso or your ten-thousandth, Dialed gives you the feedback loop to keep improving. Get dialed in.
