Read full descriptionHide full description
Coffee Shelf is a record of the coffee you own, the brewers and hardware you use and the coffee you drink. YOUR SHELF Add a bag by scanning its barcode, photographing the label, or typing it in. The app tracks the roast date and roast l evel, works out when each bag is at its best, and tells you what is ready now, what needs a few more days to rest, and what is past its peak. Fill levels let you see what is running low before you run out. YOUR GEAR Keep every brewer, grinder and accessory on the same shelf. Espresso machine, AeroPress, V60, Chemex, French press, moka pot, cold brew jug, hand grinder. Each piece carries its brew guide, its default dose and cup size, and its own care schedule, so you know when the grinder is due a clean and what the job actually involves. Add anything the catalogue does not have. EVERY BREW Log what you made at home or what you ordered out. Pick the drink, the bag, the gear, the cafรฉ. Add a photo, a rating and a note while it is still in front of you. Every brew becomes a card you can look back on, and one you can share. CAFFEINE See an estimate of the caffeine in each drink, and how it stacks up across your day. The figures are reference values by drink and brew method, not a measurement of your particular cup, but they are enough to see the shape of a day at a glance. DISCOVER Fifty six drinks, from espresso and flat white to cold brew and ca phe sua da, each with the methods that make it. Write your own recipes alongside them, with your own photos, and they sit in the same place as the ones we wrote. SHOPPING Keep a list of what to buy next, built from what you are running low on. PART OF A FAMILY My Coffee Shelf belongs to a small family of apps for people who keep things worth keeping. One subscription covers all of them, on the same account, so what you unlock here you unlock everywhere. SUBSCRIPTION The app is free to use.

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.
