What BeanBook is
A journal for people who take coffee seriously. You log the beans you buy, the brews you make and the tasting notes, and it turns recipes you find elsewhere, video, blog, forum post or handwriting, into steps you can follow.
Ask BeanBook answers questions against your own records rather than the internet.
What you can do with it
- Save a bean or recipe from a photo or a link
- Convert a YouTube, blog, Reddit or handwritten recipe into a step-by-step brew guide
- Track brews and tasting notes over time
- Ask questions about your beans and brew history
- Get an automatic review of the year
Who it is for
- Hand-brew coffee enthusiasts and barista learners
- Home roasting hobbyists
- Anyone who tries enough beans that memory stops working
What to watch out for
- Extraction depends on grind, water temperature, equipment, bean freshness and taste, so treat recipes as starting points
- It is a personal journal, not cafe inventory or point of sale
- Occasional coffee drinkers can manage with ordinary notes
- Check what the app does with your data before filling it with personal notes
