Crema Coffee Brewing Log

Espresso log & insights

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Crema is the espresso brewing log home baristas have been waiting for. Tap, pull, log — and let your data tell you what to try next. LIVE BREW TIMER Big, readable dial. Haptic checkpoints at 25, 50, 75 and 100% of your target time. Stop the timer and Crema saves the shot for you — dose, yield, ratio, time — already filled in. INSIGHTS THAT ACTUALLY HELP Crema watches your shot history and suggests practical adjustments in plain English: "Your best shot ran 1:2.3 — try a longer pull." "Last three shots have trended down — reset to your best dose/yield." "This bag is 31 days off roast — flavor may be flattening." PER-BEAN SWEET SPOT For every bean, Crema highlights your highest-rated shot and shows your best ratio, time, and grind. Dial in faster with every cup. COMPARE BEANS SIDE BY SIDE Pick any two beans and see ratings, ratios, and grind histograms next to each other. Great for A/B-ing two roast batches or two roasters. EQUIPMENT THAT MATCHES YOURS Add your grinder and espresso machine. Mark a default and Quick Log auto-fills it. Have a 9Barista or other fixed-pressure / fixed-temp machine? Crema knows — it locks the right fields. ROAST AGING REMINDERS (OPT-IN) Crema can remind you when each bag passes its degas (day 4), peak (day 10), and stale-by (day 28) milestones. Local notifications only — no servers, no accounts. CSV BACKUP Export your entire library as a single CSV — all beans, shots, equipment in one file. Save to Files, AirDrop to your iPad, email it to yourself. Re-import anywhere with skip-duplicates or upsert mode. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-in. No analytics. No tracking. The app makes zero network requests by default. Your brewing data lives on your device, period. iPHONE + iPAD UNIVERSAL A clean, copper-on-cream design that adapts to a NavigationSplitView on iPad. Light, dark, and system appearance. Crema is for the dialed-in home barista who wants their espresso practice to compound — not just track shots, but understand them.
