Coffee journal for espresso & filterCoffee journal · Espresso & filter
Log every espresso and filter brew: dose, ratio, time, taste. Pull shots in full-screen shot mode, brew filter with a guided pour timer and dial in your grinder faster.
Every detail a serious home barista cares about, without needless complexity, in one focused app.
From the ratio, Shotbook knows whether you pulled a ristretto, espresso or lungo. The time shows whether the shot was balanced, too fast or too slow, adjusted for roast level and with a grind tip.
Full-screen timer with a 3-2-1 countdown and big buttons for pre-infusion and first drop that you can hit without looking. Target time and target yield come from your last shot.
Rate every brew out of 10, tag aromas from the SCA Flavor Wheel and add photos. Spot patterns and know what to change next time.
Plan bloom, pours and pauses as a recipe for V60, Chemex & co. The timer counts you in, tells you when to pour how much, then shows recipe vs. reality. For freshly roasted coffee, Shotbook extends the bloom automatically.
Espresso and every filter method. Roaster, origin, process, dose, yield, grind, temperature and time, all in one flow.
Every coffee with roaster, origin, variety, roast level, bag photo and brew history, plus grinder memory: you see right away where your grinder was last set.

Shotbook started out of personal frustration: spreadsheets were clunky, note apps chaotic, and no coffee app had the right level of detail without being overwhelming.
As the former founder of a specialty café in Cologne, I logged shots on paper for years: notebooks soaked by steam, recipe cards lost between shifts, loose notes that never found their way back to the grinder. There had to be a better way.
The goal is simple: a focused, distraction-free journal that helps you remember what worked, understand why, and brew better tomorrow.
Plus filter support: V60, Chemex, AeroPress, Kalita, French Press, Moka Pot, Cold Brew.
