Description
"Life's too short to drink bad coffee" – someone, somewhere.
Coffee is a personal drink and we know a good cup when we find it. Sometimes recreating that perfect cup is hard – unless you record everything about it, ready for next time. Coffee Book helps you do that and much more.
With Coffee Book, you'll store all kinds of important information about your coffee but also how it came into being, too. The coffee you used, the brewing method, and even the equipment can change how a cup tastes. Coffee Book helps you log and track it all.
Need to tweak a cup? With Coffee Book, learning about your coffee tastes has never been easier. You'll log changes as you go, noting what they mean to you and your tastebuds. All of this information will be safe and sound in the cloud so you'll never have to start again!
Features include:
- Syncing with Apple Health – your caffeine intake will never be a mystery again.
- Support for all the best brewing methods including Aeropress, Chemex, Cold Brew, and more.
- A space for photos for those extra special cups.
- Ratings, so you can track how your brewing method, beans, and more affects the outcome.
- Privacy, because coffee doesn't need your data and neither do we.
- Fetch data about your brews and coffee within Shortcuts
- Lock screen widgets so the next brew is just a tap away.

What’s New
Version 3.1.4
The one with the compass
To help you diagnose your brews, there's a new espresso compass available. Just hit compass from the brew page, or view it during the dial in flow. You can also disable caffeine tracking on new brews.
The new stuff:
- We've added a new Latte Art widget to get some inspiration for your morning brews. Just tap and hold on your iPhone home screen, and select the random latte art widget.
- The espresso compass is now available inside the dial-in flow, and straight from the brew page.
The bug fixes:
- I've made a couple tidy ups here and there, please reach out if you find any bugs!
- Fixed an issue where the varietal & origin pickers would sometimes behave a little funky.
- Stopped the bluetooth pop-up asking you too often
- The caffeine widget will now open the caffeine tracker for you
Thank you for continuing to support Coffee Book.
Ratings and Reviews
Very Comprehensive.
Allows for excellent data input to dial in each roast along with being able to add specific notes and photos. The categories are very complete and well thought out. It is very easy to navigate and syncs well with Acaia Lunar. I only wish there was a category to input grinder rpm settings since that typically will change the grind and shot time settings for espresso. Perhaps being able to graph flow control profiles would be a nice add on in the future as well. These two things are very minor and very picky considerations to an otherwise excellent app.
Very happy to give this 5 stars.
Developer Response ,
I’m so glad to hear you like the app!
More options are coming and I’ll add grinder RPM as an option. Flow control graphs should be out in a future update too for users with scales.
Thank you for the suggestions, if you have any more please email me and I’d love to get them in - picky is appreciated from coffee folks like yourself :)
Amazing app for coffee gurus!
I spent quite some time looking for an app that I could log in all of my coffee brews as an owner of a high espresso machine, pour over kit, and coffee siphon. This is great for anyone who is trying to up their espresso game and analyze what could have gone wrong or what could have gone right. Thanks for An amazing app!

thank you so much for your review!
Overall; Not Bad
TLDQR:
Provides good amount of details for repeating brews; however, it lacks customizability, and the abilty to create your own “Guides.”
Long story:
It has some pretty nice features that help you dial in as repeat your chemistry, I really like the guide feature however it would be “amazing” if I could either create or edit a guide of my own (maybe I just don’t know how to do it) for a better step by step UI. The other thing would be to add more options to move around the details of the recipe and additional options like [bean (g)] instead of just coffee, I grind only as much as I need so occasionally the grind eats some if I don’t smack her hard enough. Or maybe water pre-boil. Also the ability to turn off details, like RPM, my grinder is very basic, or for those with a hand grinder…
Like I said overall not bad.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for your review!
I’m working on adding your own guides for the next big update, and hope it helps out with how you’d like to use the app 🎉
If you have anything else you’d like to see from Coffee Book, please get in touch via the email in the app, I’d love to take a look☺️
