Show HN: We're two coffee nerds who built an AI app to track beans and recipes It’s available on iOS now: https://ift.tt/XEltSmY 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. - Rokey & Eric https://beanbook.app July 1, 2025 at 12:08AM
