今日も、コーヒーお楽しみいただきありがとうございます。 コーヒーには、たったひとつの正解があるわけではありません。 同じ豆でも、お湯の温度、注ぐ速さ、待つ時間で、味は少しずつ変わります。 CoffeeQuestは、作り手のおすすめレシピを出発点にしながら、あなた自身の評価と感想で「自分のマイベストレシピ」を育てていくアプリです。 豆を選び、三投式ガイドで淹れて、苦味・甘み・香り・総合点を記録する。 次回のヒントや豆ごとの履歴を見ながら、昨日より少し好みに近い一杯へ。 「今日のコーヒー、美味しいね」 そんな一言が生まれる時間になりますように。 タクミ焙煎コーヒーより

■ Brew Your Best Cup, Every Day. DripPal is a timer and recipe app for pour-over coffee. With a second-by-second pour guide, you can save your favorite recipes — beans, grind, water, temperature, pour steps — and replicate the same great cup every time. Ever felt your morning brew taste a bit off today? DripPal lets you set exactly how many grams to pour at each second, and guides you through every step right on the timer screen. Rate each brew on five taste axes, and your personal recipes will grow into the ones you keep coming back to. [ Key Features ] ◆ Step-by-step pour guide A count-up timer shows your next pour and cumulative water in real time. Move through bloom, first pour, second pour without losing track. ◆ Fully customizable recipes Save bean name, roast level, roast date, grind size, dripper, paper filter, kettle, grinder, water, notes — and a sequence of pour steps. Each step can be set in grams or as a percentage of total water. ◆ Auto-scaling by bean weight For ratio-based recipes (beans × multiplier = total water), just enter today's bean weight and every pour target is recalculated on the fly. Use the same recipe whether you're brewing one cup or two. ◆ Five-axis taste rating Rate bitterness, acidity, sweetness, body, and overall in stars. Compare against your previous brews and refine your recipe over time. ◆ Favorites and tags Mark recipes with a heart, and use built-in tags (Hot, Iced, Café au lait) or create your own to organize your library. ◆ A focused brewing experience The screen stays on during the timer, and step transitions are signaled with sound and haptics — keep your hands and eyes on the brew, not your phone. [ Who It's For ] - New to pour-over and tired of inconsistent results - Want to save a great recipe and brew it the same way every time - Compare different beans, grinders, drippers, or papers - Replicate a recipe you learned at your favorite café - Switch between recipes for hot brew, iced, café au lait, and more [ About Your Data ] - Recipes and ratings are stored on your device only - No account required, ready to use right away - DripPal is free, supported by in-app advertising [ Privacy ] DripPal does not collect personal information for its core functionality.
