Brew Guide: Coffee Recipes

Back and rebuilt from scratch: eleven brewers, fifteen recipes from roasters and baristas, and a timer that tells you exactly what your scale should read.

Brew Guide walks you through every pour: what the scale should read, when to pour it, and when to stop.

Pick a brewer, pick a recipe, set how much coffee you want, and follow along. A chime and a gentle tap mark each step, so you can keep your eyes on the kettle. Leave the app mid-brew and a notification tells you when the next step starts.

ELEVEN BREWERS, FIFTEEN RECIPES French press, Hario V60, AeroPress, moka pot, cold brew, Chemex, cezve, Kalita Wave, Clever Dripper, Origami and siphon. Recipes come from roasters and baristas such as Stumptown, Counter Culture and James Hoffmann, and each one says where it came from.

ANY AMOUNT Change the coffee, the water or the ratio and everything else follows, including every pour target. Brewing for two? Tap "2 cups".

KNOW WHAT TO CHANGE Rate each brew and note how it tasted. Sour? Grind finer. Bitter? Grind coarser. Your log keeps what worked, and "Brew again" brings back the exact amounts.

MAKE IT YOURS Copy any recipe and tweak it, or write your own from scratch with your own steps, timings and pour targets.

ALSO • Grams or ounces, Celsius or Fahrenheit • Light, dark or automatic appearance • The screen stays on while you brew • No account, no ads, no tracking
