Your coffee bags are too good to throw away. Every bag says something — the label, the story, the roaster's whole reason for being. Then the coffee's gone, and so is the bag, into the bin with the eggshells. beans keeps it: turn any bag into a keepsake 3D model and stand it on a shelf that's actually yours — one you'll want to look at. Doesn't matter whether you're timing a shot on a manual lever machine or you just really like your fancy pod machine. If you've ever looked at an empty bag and thought "I'm not putting that one in the bin" — beans is for you. SNAP A BAG, SKIP THE TYPING Photograph the front of a bag, then the back. beans reads the label on your phone with Apple's Vision and on-device intelligence, then looks up what the label doesn't say: roaster, origin, process, tasting notes. Nothing to fill in by hand. DIAL IN ONCE Log every shot or brew: dose, grind on your grinder's own scale, yield, time and temperature. Tell beans about your grinder and machine once, stepless or click, and it gives you a starting point for a new bag. Come back to a favourite weeks later and the recipe that worked is right there. A COACH FOR YOUR FIRST BREWS New to espresso or pour-over? A few short lessons cover the basics and end with a practice brew. After that, when a brew isn't right, beans helps you work out what to change next: finer or coarser for espresso, and for pour-over, what the taste is telling you. Switch it off whenever you like. A SHELF OF YOUR OWN BAGS, IN 3D Turn any bag into a 3D model before it's gone, and stand it on your shelf. Tap it and it lifts off the shelf into its own detail view. Arrange the shelf your way — it's a collection, not a spreadsheet. PAY ONCE, OR BY THE YEAR Own beans for good with one payment, or pay by the year and try it free for 7 days first. In your first 48 hours, lifetime comes with 3 free 3D bags. 3D models are made on request and each one costs real money to generate, so more are sold in packs that never expire.
