Cupsight is the AI dial-in assistant that works with YOUR grinder. Scan a bag, get a recipe tuned to your gear, and make every cup better than the last. SCAN YOUR COFFEE Snap a photo of a coffee bag and Cupsight reads it for you: roaster, coffee name, origin, region, producer, altitude, variety, process, roast level, tasting notes and roast date. KNOW YOUR ROAST Photograph your beans and get an instant roast-color estimate, computed entirely on your device. YOUR GEAR, YOUR NUMBERS Add your grinders (with their real adjustment range), brewers (V60, AeroPress, espresso and more), kettles, scales and water recipes. Grind sizes are expressed in your grinder's own clicks: no more guessing. SMART RECIPES Get a complete recipe for each coffee: dose, ratio, grind setting, water temperature, bloom and timed pours, with an explanation of why. Recipes account for your coffee, your equipment, your water and your brewing history. GUIDED BREWING A step-by-step timer highlights each pour so you never miss a step. BREW JOURNAL & DIAL-IN Rate every brew (a score out of 10 plus acidity, bitterness, sweetness and body sliders). Cupsight learns from your notes and adjusts the next recipe, one clear change at a time. SHARE RECIPES Export and share your recipes with a tap. PRIVACY Your collection lives on your iPhone and in your iCloud Drive. No sign-up, no ads, no tracking across other apps. Usage measurement can be turned off in Settings.
