Log better brews. Discover better coffees.
BeanBench is a specialty coffee journal for people who care about the details. Guided brew recipes, precise logging, and a bean library, all in one app.
Brew log

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.
