Brew Coffee Together! Tasting Grounds is the specialty coffee app designed to connect the coffee community and help everyone brew better coffee together. - Log and rate your brews - record the details of your brewing process (such as brewer, water to grounds ratio, brew time, and more), the flavors you are tasting, and scoring notes like a coffee professional. - Share with your friends and the community - share your coffees and brewing methods, see what your friends are drinking, and discuss how we all enjoy our coffee differently. - Learn more about your coffee - see details about where your coffee was grown, how it was produced, and what flavors your roaster tastes as well as how others are brewing the same beans, what others are tasting, and how others are rating their brews. - Discover new things - discover similarities in the coffees that you do or don’t enjoy, explore new roasters from around the world, and find new ways to brew better coffee. We hope you enjoy using Tasting Grounds! Don’t forget to give us feedback at https://tastinggrounds.com/contact or follow us on Twitter (@tastinggrounds) and Instagram (@tastinggrounds)!

Good but needs a couple small improvements to really be great
07/29/2022

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.

Pleasant Surprise: Awesome!

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!

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!
