Goutte: Coffee Recipes & Timer

That one perfectly brewed drop of coffee — it felt like such a waste to just let it slip away. So I made this.

Yesterday's cup was perfect, so why doesn't it taste the same today?
The note I scribbled on the back of the bean bag is nowhere to be found, and I can never quite remember how many clicks I set on the Comandante… honestly, it drove me a little crazy too.

So I built it. Less a grand service, more the most refined hand-drip logbook for home-cafe and specialty coffee lovers like us.

It's called Goutte. It's French for "drop." I wanted to hold onto every last drop falling from the Hario Switch.

■ You'll feel right at home if you think things like…
• "This bean tasted amazing last time I brewed it on the Switch… what was the recipe again?"
• "Isn't there one place to keep both my Malkonig and Comandante grind settings?"
• "When did I even buy this bean, and how much is left?"
• "I'm curious which beans I've been drinking the most lately."

■ What Goutte does for you
• Logs your brew in real time — a circular timer ring shows your progress and even tells you how much water to pour next.
• Snap a photo of a paper recipe card and the brew steps get sorted automatically. (Just add the grind setting and you're done!)
• Whether it's V60, Kalita, or Chemex — from hand-drip to AeroPress (standard and inverted) to iced — it holds any method just as it is.
• My beans — snap a photo of the bag and AI reads the label and registers it for you. It keeps track of how much is left, how many days since the roast (freshness), and how many times you've brewed it. When it's gone, move it to "finished"; buy it again and bring it right back.
• After a cup, jot down a quick brew journal — just tap a star rating and the taste (acidity, balance, bitterness), and it all stacks up bean by bean so you can see which one was best.
• Fork a recipe you love and the grind setting converts automatically to your own grinder's clicks.
• In the Discover tab, browse World Brewers Cup champions' recipes by competition year.
• Coffee news, new releases, and limited deals are gathered in the Info tab.

■ Just enough, kept simple
No complicated setup. A few taps while you brew, and that's it.

I built this with care, mainly to use it myself.
I hope your cup, too, becomes a little clearer with Goutte.
