Brew Coach

A quiet coach for slow coffee. V60, Chemex, Kalita, AeroPress, French press, and overnight cold brew - each filter method with its own dedicated timer, ratio calculator, and step-by-step pour schedule. Built around the rituals that filter coffee deserves: V60 cones with a bloom and three pulse pours, Chemex with a slower drawdown, Kalita Wave flat-bottom for evenness, AeroPress with the right plunger pace, French press steeped to the second, and a 12 to 24 hour cold brew that lives on your Lock Screen until morning. Why home baristas choose this over a stack of browser tabs: - Apple Watch advances the next pour with a haptic tap when fingers are wet - Live Activity tracks the long cold brew steep on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island - Each method has its own ratio default, customizable to grams or ounces - Bean log remembers what worked: photo, roast, grind, water temp, tasting notes - iCloud sync keeps recipes and history across iPhone and Apple Watch - No signup, no account. Brewing, methods, Apple Watch and iCloud are free; one-time Lifetime unlock for bean log and custom recipes. Whether the morning is a single V60 by the window or the fridge is filling with a slow overnight cold brew, the timing stays tight and the ritual stays yours. Brew Coffee Timer & Recipe is available for iPhone and Apple Watch.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Moka Pot Brew Guide at none against Brew Coach's 1. Moka Pot Brew Guide also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). Brew Coach's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
