Espresso Journal: Shot Log
Timer, Bean & Dial-in Notes
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Version 2.0 is here: iCloud sync, an iPad app and a shot timer built into the shot form.
Espresso Journal is a simple log for home espresso. Record each shot, see what you changed, and get to a better cup sooner.
LOG A SHOT IN SECONDS
New shots start from your last one, so you only change what you're dialling in. Start the timer, pull the shot, and the brew time is filled in for you. Add dose, yield, grind setting, grinder RPM, grind time, temperature, a rating and notes.
KEEP TRACK OF YOUR BEANS AND KIT
Save the roaster, origin, process and roast date for each coffee, with a link to the shop for when you need more. Add your machine, grinder, portafilters and baskets.
ON IPHONE AND IPAD
Your journal syncs through iCloud. Export your shots as a spreadsheet whenever you like.
