Bloom vs The BrewLog

Bloom is the coffee timer and journal built for people who care about every cup. Track your beans, brew with step-by-step recipes, and get coaching to improve your next pour. Whether you are dialing in espresso, perfecting a pour over, or experimenting with AeroPress and Chemex, Bloom gives you the tools specialty coffee lovers actually need — beautifully designed and entirely on your device. BREW TIMER & RECIPES Create step-by-step brew recipes for pour over, AeroPress, Chemex, French press, Moka pot, espresso, cold brew, or any custom method. Each step has its own timer and instructions. Just hit brew and follow along. Derive recipe variants from a base recipe to experiment with grind size, ratio, or technique without losing your original. Link your grinder and set clicks instead of vague labels. COFFEE SHELF & BEAN TRACKER Keep a beautiful record of every coffee you own. Log the roaster, origin, roast date, variety, processing method, and tasting notes from the SCA Flavor Wheel. Track inventory so you always know when a bag is running low. FLAVOR WINDOWS Bloom tracks exactly where each coffee sits in its flavor lifecycle based on roast type and roast date. Light roasts peak at 10–35 days. Dark roasts at 4–18. You will always know the best moment to brew. SMART BAG SCANNING Point your camera at any coffee bag. Bloom uses on-device AI to read the roaster, origin, variety, process, flavor notes, and roast date, then fills everything in automatically. No typing, no internet, no cloud processing. BREW COACH & JOURNAL After every brew, log your input and output weights. Bloom calculates your extraction ratio automatically. Rate taste on two axes — sour to bitter, weak to strong — and get specific coaching: grind finer, use more water, increase your dose. Review past brews, edit your notes, and track your progress over time. Switch to detailed cupping mode for an SCA-style assessment with a radar chart and flavor tags. WIDGETS EVERYWHERE Brew Pulse shows your daily brew count and streak. Quick Brew gives one-tap access to your top recipes. Shelf Watch tracks bean freshness at a glance. Three Lock Screen widgets keep your coffee data visible without unlocking your phone. EQUIPMENT TRACKING Log your brewers, grinders, scales, and kettles. Set your grinder's total clicks and step size for precise, repeatable grind settings across recipes. THEMES & PERSONALIZATION Choose from five hand-crafted color palettes, each with full light and dark mode. Find the hidden palette if you are curious enough. BLOOM PRO Free to start — no ads, ever.
