DOSE vs beans

DOSE analyzes your coffee grind size from a single photo. Even a kitchen towel or napkin works perfectly. Measure your grind at home or at the café in seconds. ■ Measuring is simple • Spread the grounds Scatter your ground coffee evenly over a sheet of paper, a napkin, or a kitchen towel. • Find good light Natural light or bright indoor lighting is all you need. Just avoid harsh shadows. • Set distance and angle Follow the on-screen guide: hold the camera about 18–24 cm away and parallel to the surface. • Capture Center the grounds in the frame and take one shot. That's it. ■ What you'll learn • Particle distribution See D10 (small) · D50 (median) · D90 (large), mean, fines ratio, uniformity, and more — alongside a distribution histogram. • Brew-method guidance Get advice on grinding finer or coarser for espresso, pour-over, French press, and other methods. • AI Barista insights (on supported devices, iOS 26+) Reads your results and suggests how to dial in your next cup. • Save and share Save your analysis card as an image and share it. ■ What's coming • Compare your history Line up your saved measurements to track how grind size shifts with each grinder setting — and how consistent it stays. ■ Made for • Home brewers who want more consistent extractions • Anyone dialing in a new grinder by the numbers • People who want to tell espresso and filter grinds apart precisely • Baristas who want to check grind uniformity and fines firsthand Taste the difference in every cup — backed by data.

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.
