Aficionado Coffee Journal

Read full description

Coffee Journal is a calm, beautiful place to record your coffee recipes, so you can dial in once and repeat your best cups for good. Save your beans, the drinks you make, and every brew in between. No account, no clutter, no noise. Just your notes, beautifully organized. RECORD EVERY BREW Log the details that actually matter: grind setting, dose in, yield out, water temperature, and brew time. The brew ratio is calculated for you. Add tasting notes and a rating, then jot down what to change next time. YOUR BEANS, ORGANIZED Keep a library of every bag โ€” roaster, roast level, origin, price, and a photo of the label. Add tasting notes so you always remember how it tasted, and mark your favorites. YOUR DRINKS Espresso, cortado, V60, latte, and anything else you brew. Give each drink a photo and see every recipe you have made with it. BROWSE IT BOTH WAYS Start from a bean to see the drinks you have made with it, or start from a drink to see the beans behind it. Your recipes are always one tap away. DIAL IN, THEN REPEAT Compare your attempts and tap Repeat to brew your best cup again, exactly the way you made it. Small, deliberate changes - finer grind, a degree cooler, a touch less yield - are easy to track from one brew to the next. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything lives on your device. Coffee Journal does not require an account and never uploads your beans, drinks, recipes, or photos to a server. Whether you are chasing the perfect espresso shot or just want to remember that one incredible pour over, Coffee Journal helps you brew with intention - and make it again tomorrow. Designed for iPhone. Record. Refine. Repeat.
