BeanBench vs CoffeeLog

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.

CoffeeLog is a personal journal for everyone who wants to remember the coffees they drink and understand what they actually enjoy. YOUR COFFEE COLLECTION Every bag you try goes into your collection — roaster, origin, region, process, varietal, altitude, roast level, flavor notes and more. Over time your collection becomes a record of your taste: the origins you return to, the processes that click with you, the roasters worth following. LOG EVERY BREW Pair each coffee with your brew notes. Record the method, recipe, water temperature, grind size and your personal rating. When you find a combination that works, it's there to repeat. When something falls flat, you'll know why. EFFORTLESS TO ADD Point your camera at a coffee bag label and CoffeeLog reads it for you — filling in the details automatically so you can spend less time typing and more time drinking. Review, confirm, and it's in your collection. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your journal lives on your device. No account to create, no subscription, no data sent anywhere. If you want to access your collection on another Apple device, optional iCloud sync moves everything through your own iCloud account — nobody else sees it. • Personal coffee collection with full bag details • Brew sessions with recipe, method and rating • Scan bag labels to add coffees without typing • Rate and add tasting notes to track what you enjoy • Insights into your taste over time • Optional iCloud sync — your data, your account • No account, no subscription, no ads
