Three months ago you loved an Ethiopian. Now the bag is empty and the name is gone. Tamp is the coffee journal that fixes this. Log every bean in under 30 seconds. Find every roaster you've tried. Remember every brew that actually worked. REMEMBER EVERY BEAN Origin, process, roast level, tasting notes, and the only rating that matters: would you buy it again. Photograph the bag, scribble three notes, done. RECALL THE BREW You spent a Saturday dialing in your AeroPress recipe. Don't lose it. Log your grind, ratio, water temperature, and brew time. Next time you open the bag, the recipe is right there. DISCOVER SPECIALTY ROASTERS Browse roasters by city or country, with live catalogs pulled directly from their stores. You see what's actually on the shelf — not a stale list someone last touched in 2022. WATCH YOUR TASTE PROFILE BUILD The more you log, the more Tamp learns: which origins you gravitate to, which processes you keep coming back to, which roasters you trust. No quizzes. No streaks. Just an honest history of coffee. LOG ANY METHOD Espresso, pour-over, AeroPress, French press, Chemex, moka pot, cold brew, V60, drip, siphon. If you brew it, Tamp logs it. WORKS OFFLINE, SYNCS EVERYWHERE Log offline in the café or on the train. Sync when you're back on Wi-Fi. Your collection follows you across devices. THE CORE APP IS FREE No ads. No upsells in your face. No algorithm pushing you toward bigger spend. Tamp is built for specialty coffee drinkers and supported by roasters who want to be found. Built in the Netherlands by two indie devs — who got tired of forgetting the name of that Ethiopian.

Dialling in espresso is the hardest part of home coffee, and most apps just log what you did. diald. is different. It guides you. Tell diald. how your shot tasted (too sour, too bitter, just right) and it tells you exactly what to change next. Grind finer? Adjust your dose? diald. turns guesswork into a clear, step-by-step path to a great cup. Built for real home setups, whether you're brand new to espresso or refining your ritual. WHAT'S INSIDE Guided dial-in: Answer simple taste questions and get precise, personalised adjustments for your next shot. No jargon, no guesswork. Built for your gear: Set up your espresso machine and grinder once, and get advice tuned to what you actually own. Smart shot timer: A built-in timer for your extraction, with the option to skip it if you weigh your shots with scales. Bean shelf: Keep track of your beans, with roast-date freshness tracking so you always know what's at its best. Scan your bag: Snap a photo of a coffee bag and diald. fills in the details for you automatically. Shot history: Every shot is saved per bean, so you can see your progress and return to what worked. Save your recipes: Once you've nailed a bean, save the recipe and pull it up any time. Yours, privately: Your data stays on your device. No account required. Whether you're chasing your first great shot or fine-tuning your hundredth, diald. helps you get there faster.
