BeanSip

Coffee journal app for iPhone and Android

Every cup a little better than the last.

Log each brew, tap how it tasted and the app tells you exactly what to change: “Sour and watery? Grind finer, from 10 to 8.” For people with a scale and a grinder who are tired of guessing.

That's me. In the video we dial in a real cup, start to finish.

How it works

From the bag to a better cup, in three steps

01

Scan the bag

Take a photo of the label. Origin, roaster, process, roast date, tasting notes and weight fill themselves in, along with a recipe to start dialing in.

A bag's screen in the app: origin Kenya, washed process, roast date, weight, price and tasting notes.
02

Rate your cup

Give it stars and tap how it tasted: sour or bitter, watery or intense. The app tells you the one thing to change next time (grind, dose or water) in your grinder's numbers.

The taste compass: a cup marked sour and watery, and the suggestion to grind a little finer, from 10 to 8.
03

Get better every day

Every cup you log teaches the app. When you open it, it tells you which bag to brew, with which recipe and what to change, how many cups are left in each bag and when it's at its best.

The app's home: this week's coffees, the next coffee to brew and the change to try.

What it learns

It learns how you like it

After a few cups, the Coach tab shows what works for you, with your own numbers instead of a generic rule.

  • Your freshness window

    The rested days when your best cups happen, first per bag and then across all of them.

  • Grind by coffee age

    As a bag ages it extracts faster. The app tells you when to go a step finer, before the cup tastes watery.

  • Your sweet spot

    The grind, ratio and temperature range of your best cups, and how consistent you are.

  • In your grinder's numbers

    Pick your grinder from the catalog and every suggestion comes in its scale, even when you switch grinders.

The coach

AI

A coach that uses your numbers, not generic tips

Once you have three cups of a bag, ask the coach. It reads that bag's whole history and answers with one change and why. When you finish a bag, it writes the recap: what worked, when it was at its best and what to look for in the next one.

The Coach tab: the coach's advice for a Kenyan coffee and what the app learned.

The AI only runs when you tap to ask.

Coffee Passport

Collect a stamp for every origin

Each coffee-growing country you try becomes a stamp, with your origins on the world map, progress by region and a next destination based on the bags you liked.

The Coffee Passport: 5 of 33 origins, with the map of the countries tried.

FAQ

Before you download

Do I need an account?

No. There are no accounts: open the app and log your first cup. Your journal stays on your phone.

Who is it for?

For people who already brew specialty coffee at home with a scale and a grinder and want each cup to come out better. You don't need to be a barista, but it doesn't start from zero either.

Which brewing methods does it support?

Espresso, V60, AeroPress, Chemex, French press, moka pot and cold brew, each with its usual recipe as a starting point. Anything else can be logged as "Other".

Which grinders does it know?

Baratza Encore and Encore ESP, Baratza Virtuoso+, Fellow Ode Gen 2, OXO Brew, Breville / Sage Smart Grinder Pro, Comandante C40, Timemore C2 and C3, KINGrinder K6 and 1Zpresso JX-Pro, each with its own scale. Any other grinder works too: enter its scale by hand.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Everything works without internet except reading a bag label and asking the coach, which need a connection.

Is it free?

Yes: logging, scanning bags, rating each cup, freshness and inventory are free forever, and they don't shrink over time. Premium tells you what to change in your next cup, adds the AI coach (advice for each bag and the recap of finished ones) and everything the app learns. Your first 14 days include it in full, no card needed.

What happens if I change phones?

Export a backup from Settings → Your data and restore it on the new phone. It includes photos.

iPhone or Android?

Both. It's the same app on iPhone and Android.
