Smarter Logging - Coffee name suggestions now match the roaster you enter and when editing a coffee. The roaster field comes first so suggestions narrow as you type. - The roaster field now suggests roaster names. - Choosing a suggested coffee fills in its details from that roaster only. Picking a different coffee updates those details, and anything you typed yourself is left alone. - Detailed Log's last step is now Score, where you rate the cup after you have logged everything else. - New roast level chips in Pro Log and Edit Coffee, with haptic feedback. - Processing methods outside the standard list now show as chips you can see and remove. Semi-Washed added as a standard method. Fixes (Thank you for the user feedback!) - Clearing a field when editing a coffee now saves seamlessly. - Roaster logos improvements in dark mode. - Layout and wording fixes in brew method selection and caffeine filtering.

Quick Log captures name, roaster, rating, and notes in seconds. Detailed Log adds brew recipe, grind size, grinder setting, tasting notes, and flavor profile. Pro Log includes full SCA cupping scores. Coffee suggestions match the roaster you enter, so the right details fill in for you. —————————————— TRACK YOUR TASTE —————————————— Your Flavor DNA builds as you log — see whether you lean fruity, floral, chocolatey, or earthy. Analytics show every origin you have brewed from and every roaster you have tried. Score cups against SCA cupping criteria when you want a rigorous evaluation. —————————————— BREW SMARTER —————————————— A guided brew timer with stage prompts and haptics. Brew ratio calculator. Grinder setting tracking, so you can dial in a coffee once and repeat it. Method guides for grind size and water temperature. —————————————— DECAF, TAKEN SERIOUSLY —————————————— Choose whether you see every coffee, no decaf, or decaf only — and change your mind any time. Decaf coffees are labeled with how they were decaffeinated, because Swiss Water, mountain water, sugarcane ethyl acetate and CO2 do not taste the same. —————————————————————————— DISCOVER SPECIALTY ROASTERS —————————————————————————— A curated library of nearly 700 coffees from more than 100 independent specialty roasters. Filter by roast level, brew method, and flavor profile, and get recommendations based on what you have actually logged and rated. Some coffee and equipment links are affiliate links.
