day9 coffee
Read full descriptionHide full description
Most coffee bags tell you the roast date. None of them tell you when the coffee actually tastes best. day9 is built around one idea: coffee has a freshness curve. It's too gassy in the first few days after roast, hits peak flavor around days 7โ14 depending on the bean, then slowly declines. Roasters know this. Baristas know this. Most coffee drinkers don't โ because nobody's ever made it easy to track. day9 fixes that. ADD A BAG Snap a photo of the label or enter the details manually. day9 reads the roast date, origin, and roaster, then maps out where your bag sits on the freshness curve right now and when it'll hit peak. KNOW WHEN TO BREW Get a clear signal: "too fresh," "approaching peak," "at peak," "declining." No more wondering whether yesterday's pour was off because of the grind or because the bag is past it. LOG BREWS, NOT JUST BAGS Tap to log a brew. Notice patterns: which bags taste best on which days, which roasters consistently hit your sweet spot, which origins fade fast. Your own taste history, built over time. DISCOVER ROASTERS Browse a curated directory of specialty roasters from around the world. Find new bags from operations you trust. Read why each roaster matters. WHY DAY 9? Because for most specialty coffees, that's roughly when the gas has settled, the flavors have rounded, and the bag is genuinely ready. It's a name, not a rule โ every coffee is different, and day9 tracks yours specifically. NO ACCOUNTS, NO PASSWORDS Sign in with your email. We send you a link. That's it. No social logins, no data harvesting, no marketing emails. Built for people who care about coffee but don't want another app pretending to be a coffee shop. Just the timing.

Great beans deserve to be enjoyed fresh. BeanFresh helps you track coffee freshness from the roast date. Register each bag with its roast date, name, roaster, origin, process and roast level โ with a photo โ and the app gently reminds you at the right moments along the journey from resting to peak flavor to fading freshness. No more opening a bag of specialty or home-roasted coffee, forgetting about it, and letting those expensive beans go stale. WHO IT'S FOR - You buy specialty or home-roasted coffee - You've regretted finding a bag long past its peak - You keep several bags going at once - You want to recreate your best cup every time KEY FEATURES Automatic freshness window Just enter the roast date and BeanFresh calculates the resting period, peak window, and drink-by date for you. Bags are sorted by drink-by date, so you always know which to brew next. A freshness meter shows how much of the peak is left at a glance.
