Track brews, beans & recipes. Photos, flavour notes, step-by-step timer. One-time purchase, no subscription, no login, no ads, no data collected.
Brew Journal is your personal coffee logbook, built for home baristas who want to track every cup, dial in their technique, and never forget a great brew.
No subscription. No account. No data collected. Everything stays on your device.
LOG YOUR BREWS
Record every brew with as much or as little detail as you like. Start with just the bean name and method, then expand the optional sections when you need them:
· Bean & Grind Details — roaster, origin, roast level, grinder, grind size
· Recipe Details — water temperature, brew time, yield
· Tasting Notes — attach a photo, pick flavour notes, rate the cup out of five
A live ratio calculator updates as you type. Save favourite settings as reusable recipe templates and load them with one tap on your next brew.
BUILT-IN BREW TIMER
Step-by-step timers for 8 brew methods walk you through every phase with on-screen instructions and haptic feedback at each transition.
Free: V60, French Press
Pro: AeroPress, Espresso, Chemex, Moka Pot, Cold Brew, Pour Over
BEAN BAG TRACKER — PRO
Know exactly when your beans hit their peak flavour window. Add a bag with its roast date and size and Brew Journal tracks its freshness automatically:
· Fresh (days 0–7) — still degassing, let it rest
· Peak (days 7–28) — optimal flavour window
· Past Peak (days 28–60) — use soon or for cold brew
· Stale (60+ days) — time for a new bag
Link a bag to a brew log to automatically track remaining weight. Get notified the moment a bag hits peak and again when it goes stale.
DIAL-IN MODE — PRO
Compare brew attempts side by side to find your perfect recipe. Log multiple attempts with different variables, see what changed at a glance, and mark the winner. Built for dialling in a new bag of beans or a new grinder from scratch.
COFFEE GUIDE
A reference guide covering 26 drinks across three categories — Espresso-Based, Milk-Based, and Filter, Iced & Specialty. Every entry includes a description, flavour profile, visual composition bar, and step-by-step make guide.
