Dose is for people who take espresso seriously. Order a straight shot and run a guided tasting — crema, aroma, flavor, acidity, sweetness, body, balance, finish — to land a real Dose Score. No five-star guesswork: a clear, repeatable read on what's in the cup, with coaching at every step so you learn what to taste. Every tasting becomes a deck. One idea per card, the profile drawing itself in — and the last card is the bar where the shot was pulled: its photo, and what the community scores it. Score together. When a friend who follows you starts a shot at the same café, your composer offers to join it — one tap, no code. Each of you scores alone, and it posts once, on both your profiles, with both names and the score you landed on. Then see where the good pulls are. Every café gets a page with its scores, its judges' picks, and its regulars. Browse the map, find a great shot in a new city, and stop wasting mornings on bad ones. And it's better with people. Follow other judges, see their tastings in a clean feed, react and comment, share a tasting as a beautiful card, and message the people who know their coffee. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Score espresso on a guided scale grounded in real tasting fundamentals • Score a shot together — two palates, one post, each number your own • Discover cafés and roasters near you — and around the world • Build a profile, level up from Taster to Judge, and track every shot you've pulled • Follow friends, comment, and message • Share your tasting as an on-brand card BUILT FOR IPHONE • Point the camera at a coffee bag. It reads the roaster, origin, process and variety straight into a tasting — on device, and it only ever reports what the bag prints. • Ask Siri to log a shot — the score, the café, the whole pull — without touching the screen. • Time a shot from the Dynamic Island. • Widgets, a Lock Screen complication, and a Control Center button for a one-tap log. • VoiceOver plays a tasting profile as sound, so the shape of a shot is something you hear. • Save an estimate of each shot's caffeine to Health, if you want it. Free. No in-app purchases, no subscription, no ads. Nine languages. Whether you're a barista dialing in, a roaster chasing consistency, or just someone who knows the difference a great shot makes — Dose helps you know good espresso.
