Everything you need to dial in every cup
From the first bloom to the final tasting note. BeanBench captures the whole brew, and helps you make sense of it.
Brew log
Track every V60, espresso and cold brew: dose, water, grind, temp, time, and tasting notes. Diagnose your drawdown.
Guided recipes
Follow timed pour schedules from Hoffmann, Kasuya, Rao and more with a haptic timer that logs the result.
Brew science
Enter a refractometer reading and BeanBench computes extraction yield against the SCA 18–22% window. See where your best cups cluster.
Bluetooth scales
Pair an Acaia or Decent scale for live weight, flow rate in g/s, and a full pour curve saved with every brew.
Rate & discover
Rate beans and roasters, track origin, process and varietal, and watch each coffee move from resting to peak.

Export every field to CSV or JSON, weight curves included. Import your history from Beanconqueror. No lock-in.
