I started with Onyx, Verve, now I bought beans from Prodial, DAK(eightounce), hydrangea & September etc

Let us know how it goes :D, btw the "single coffees" you mean the single origin coffee beans?

Thank you! Coffee is a very expressive fruit, so we think the coffee app should be as well :)

Vivino is a great benchmark!

Thanks for the reminder! Yes, I felt the same way, but I haven't figured out how to adjust the wording or tone properly. will be extra cautious

We tried most of the mainstream models. Currently, we are choosing the Gemini. if you scan, you'll have a call for now, but we are building a new solution to optimize the workflow

Haha, based on you described, I'm in the same position as you were previously. I know its a lot of work, but also very satisfied! I'm very enjoying the process of making coffee, and also enjoy how people around me enjoy my coffee

I use AI to refine what I ment to say, English is not my native language, AI really helped a lot! Trying my best to communicate the best I can.

this reply is purely hand crafted by human:)

Looking forward to your feedback! Good idea! and Collecting gears is on our roadmap. but each grinder setting also depends on the types of beans and brew method, we'll need good aount of data for the suggestion, thanks for the idea!

Thanks for point this, we highlighted lots of features from individual perspective. Because coffee is very personal

Full respect to Beanconqueror! It’s an amazing tool for advanced coffee folks: open source, extremely customizable and supporting Bluetooth gear like scales and refractometers. We admire what they’ve built.

We’re trying things from a different angle:

We’re building for entry to mid-level coffee lovers—people who want to enjoy better coffee, stay organized, and reflect on their brews.

Most tracking apps start with forms.We start with senses, we thinking a lot what coffee looks like in our mind.

What makes BeanBook different:

- Snap-first design: No typing required.

- YouTube/photo to recipe

- Sensory-first interface

- Zero-config start

We want to build a Coffee app as a memory, not just numbers

We think there’s room for both kinds of tools: Beanconqueror is like a cockpit for pros. BeanBook is more like a beautifully illustrated notebook that fills itself in as you brew.

Thanks so much for the honest feedback!

That’s super helpful—we hadn’t considered how the glare and text overlap could affect first impressions. We’ll rethink the first screen

Thank you for the support! And yes—great point bringing up Vivino. It really sets a strong example of where we could go with BeanBook. Lots to learn from that model!

Haha, fair enough! Totally see how that line might come across as a bit too “crafted.” What we meant is: many tools are great on data, but few feel fun, delightful, or reflect how expressive coffee culture really is.

But yep, emotions are tricky to “design for”—we’re trying anyway

Well explained, thank you!

Thanks for reporting this! We found on similar issue on SE screen, sorry for the buggy start will definitely fix in next update

Thank you! Glad you like it! Looking forward for your feedback!

Google/Apple sign-in is a simple and secure way to reduce spam and support account-based features down the road. And having a sustainable model helps us maintain the team and keep improving the product.

Hah, thanks for the idea! Over the past year of developing, we’ve been constantly surprised by what AI can do—and how much it’s accelerated our workflow. Hiring an AI Android dev is definitely a direction we’ll look into more seriously :D

Thank you for your kind words! That means a lot We’d absolutely love to connect! rokeyzhang@beanbook.app

Thanks for your interested, looking forward for your feedback!

Thanks for the feedback! Using a DiFluid Omni—you’re definitely a hardcore coffee enthusiast

We do have a notes feature attached to each bean, so you can always save that kind of data there for now. At the moment, we’re focused on building a solid foundation for entry- to mid-level coffee lovers, but deeper roast profiling and advanced tools like Omni integration are definitely on our radar.

Thanks—that’s great input, and really appreciate you sharing your experience! We’re definitely working toward that direction: tool-first, then building more ways for people to connect and share notes—especially around specific gear or beans.

And yes, Android is on our radar too!

Thanks so much! Totally feel you on the side project struggle—it took us a while to get this one across the finish line too. Would love to hear more about what you were working on if you ever revisit it!

We just two person team, currently we trying to stabilize on iOS developing, then we’ll definitely looking for Android version, lots of people asked for this too!

Thanks for your feedback!

I’m home roasting too—using an entry-level FreshRoast SR800, which has been a ton of fun to learn on. I still buy from great roasters as well, since it’s a great way to rhetorically access to different processing methods and regions.

We also thought about home roasting. A few folks have mentioned wanting to log green bean origins, roast curves, and profiles—there’s a lot of potential there.

Right now, we’re focusing on making the bean & recipe tracking seamless for brewed coffee, we found good amount of people buying from roasters all around the world like us.

Appreciate you sharing your experience—it’s super helpful!
