Good but needs a couple small improvements to really be great
MaineCup
Love the app overall but it would need a couple small adjustments to make it a five star for me and become my daily driver. Would really appreciate a longer time before the app brings you back to the starting page. If I leave the app, more often than not, it starts my brew log over which can be pretty annoying when logging new roasters. Would love a way to log the number of clicks on my grinder settings beyond the “fine” or “medium fine” options. Would love to have a way to save brewing method profiles so I don’t need to manually adjust all the boxes every time. I would like to set a profile and then adjust from there as I play with my brewing parameters to dial in the beans I’m tasting. Would also be great to have multiple profiles as I vary the method of how I brew the beans. I brew different roasts differently and having a way to quickly use profiles to save me typing time would be a game changer for me personally.

Lovely Coffee Rating App
Jake's Review
As someone who has been a power user and contributor to craft beer rating apps, I really like the way this app works. It’s really easy to use and provides a bevy of options to describe your coffee very closely to how you experience it.I would love the ability to add pictures to individual roasts that don’t have them. I have found that some of the roasts I use don’t have any info, and adding the picture of the bag would make it easier to identify which coffee roasts I’ve added.Otherwise it’s a fantastic app and I’m very excited to track my coffee journey with tasting grounds.

I have to give credit where it’s due — really nice job developing this app! I was looking for something similar to the Untappd app but for pour over coffee, and this not only fits the bill, but it exceeded my expectations. The “Tasting Notes” rating section is a superb feature. And the “Learn” section is incredibly detailed and legitimately helpful. I’ve already invited a few friends to join, and it’s a great way for us to share new brewing processes and notes all in one place. I’m so glad an app like this exists!

Thanks for the great feedback. We're thrilled that you're loving the app and it is especially nice to hear that you find the learning content helpful!
Love this so far
Honestly Meh
I’ve had this for a little while and so far it’s so good. I love finding new brews and roasters and the pictures help. Although I can totally see the collage aspect, would it be possible to allow multiple picture uploads? I’d love to take a picture of the grounds, and the pour, and the package. I would also love it if we could favorite specific roasters and be notified when a new bean drops either from the roaster or from a review!

So glad to hear you've enjoyed Tasting Grounds so far! Love the ideas you have as well. They are both things that we've thought about and plan to support in the future. I added each to our ideas board (https://ideas.tastinggrounds.com/) where you can follow along with progress (and get other users to upvote them bump them up in our priorities). Keep the feedback and ideas coming. Happy brewing!
- roaster is automatically populated when selecting "add coffee" from a roaster details screen
- clean up brew input visibility and segmented control styling
