Bloom vs 2manybeans

Bloom is a coffee timer and journal for your daily brewing routine. Keep track of your beans, follow step-by-step recipes, and remember what made each cup work. YOUR COFFEE SHELF Record roast dates, origins, tasting notes, purchase prices, and your rating of each coffee. Set the remaining weight for a part-used bag and compare its price per 100 g. Flavor Windows estimate freshness from roast type and age. SCAN AND REVIEW COFFEE BAGS Photograph multiple bags and several sides of each bag. Bloom processes labels on your device and prepares details for you to review and correct before saving. Scanning requires iOS 26 or later. Compatible devices with Apple Intelligence available use on-device AI; when the model is unavailable, supported systems use text recognition. On older iOS versions, add details manually. Scanning can miss or misread details, so check the result against your bag. GUIDED BREWING Create or import recipes, follow timed steps, and keep variants for your experiments. Start a brew from a coffee to carry that bag into the timer. Each grinder remembers its last setting, and you can choose a default grinder. JOURNAL AND INVENTORY Finishing a brew saves a journal entry and updates the coffee's remaining weight. Add your assessment now or later. Record taste, notes, dose, and output, then use Brew Coach suggestions to plan your next cup. Detailed cupping adds aroma and taste assessments, flavor tags, and a radar chart. MAKE IT YOURS Track equipment and caffeine intake, choose a color palette in light or dark mode, and use Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. BLOOM PRO Start free with up to 3 coffees and 5 recipes, the brew timer, and Brew Coach. Bloom Pro adds unlimited coffees and recipes and Pro widgets.

2manybeans is the specialty coffee journal that actually coaches you. Most coffee apps are passive logbooks. 2manybeans is different. It scans your bean bag, researches the farm and roaster, and writes you a brew recipe tuned to your grinder and your brewer. Then it walks you through tasting the cup step by step, asking the kind of questions a cupping-room mentor would ask, so you actually learn what you are drinking. WHAT YOU CAN DO Scan any bag Point your camera at a coffee bag and 2manybeans reads the label, pulls origin, process, roast date, and notes, then enriches it with information about the roaster and the farm. No typing. Track peak freshness Every bean gets a peak drinking window based on roast date and style. Your rotation view shows which jars are hitting their stride and which are about to fade. Waste less coffee. Get personalized hand brew recipes Tell the app what grinder and brewer you own. It writes you a recipe grounded in real research, down to the right grind setting for your Ode or Opus, the ratio, the pour schedule, and why each choice matters. Push recipes to Fellow Aiden Own a Fellow Aiden? 2manybeans builds the profile and pushes it straight to the brewer. Walk up, press brew, done. AI tasting coach Open the tasting tab and the coach takes it from there. It asks about aroma, acidity, body, and finish in plain language, scaffolds the conversation so you are never stuck, and translates your answers into a real SCA-style score. Coffee chat Ask the built-in assistant anything. Why is this Ethiopian floral. What does washed process mean. Why does my V60 taste sour. It answers using a library that includes the World Atlas of Coffee and a curated archive of specialty coffee writing. Share cards Turn any bean into a beautiful apothecary-style share card and post it. WHO THIS IS FOR Specialty coffee enthusiasts who own a burr grinder, care about origin, and want to taste more intentionally. Works great for light roast fans, pour-over nerds, cupping beginners, and anyone tired of logging brews into a spreadsheet. FREE TIER Add beans, track your rotation, and log manual tastings for free.
