It’s available on iOS now: ‎BeanBook: AI Coffee Tracker
We got into specialty coffee during COVID and, like many others, fell deep down the rabbit hole. Along the way, we ran into the same frustrations:
  • A drawer full of empty coffee bags.
  • No simple way to track grind size, rest dates, notes—by bean.
  • My coffee history scattered across photos, screenshots, notebooks, and half-memories.
  • The unique traits, people, and stories behind each coffee disappearing from the internet once it sold out (since coffee is an agricultural good)
  • In our opinion, no coffee tool really captures the flavor, emotion, and aesthetic of great coffee—from a design perspective.
So we built BeanBook—a coffee notebook log beans, extract recipes, and organize your coffee life in one place with just a snap, powered by AI
Here’s what it does:
  • Snap a bag → Auto-detects roaster, origin, process, roast date, notes, producer, farm, and more
  • Paste a YouTube link or photo → Extracts a structured recipe automatically
  • Log grind size, roast timeline, ratings & notes → All saved in a clean, elegant UI
  • See your coffee year in review → Track habits, trends, and favorites
  • Ask BeanBook AI → From brew temps to bean facts, get instant answers
My co-founder and I built everything ourselves—branding, code, and UX design. If you’re into coffee (or trying to get more into it), we’d love your feedback.
