Live pouring guide
Turn the recommended recipe into timed step prompts, water targets, and drawdown reminders based on your custom dose.
BREWING
Start with the bean: process, roast, freshness, and tasting notes. Bean On Bar then recommends a recipe for your chosen brewer and explains what each decision is trying to achieve.
APP FEATURES
The website can explain the logic, while the app turns the selected recipe into an active brew session tied to the exact bean you scanned or saved.
Timer steps adapt to dose, brewer, bean signals, and the selected recipe. In the app, prompts can stay open while you brew.
Turn the recommended recipe into timed step prompts, water targets, and drawdown reminders based on your custom dose.
Attach the exact recipe, dose, grind, temperature, and tasting result to the bean so it becomes part of your coffee memory.
Compare attempts over time: first brew, adjusted brew, roaster recipe, community recipe, and your personal best version.
Share a recipe with the community, import a roaster recipe, or try a recipe someone used successfully with the same bean.
WHY THIS WORKS
The app gives a practical recipe quickly. This page can afford to show the recipe, the signal trail, customization, and what to change after tasting.
Washed, natural, anaerobic, roast age, roast level, variety, origin, and tasting notes change the target extraction.
V60 favors clarity, Switch can add sweetness and body, Orea is fast and repeatable, Origami can emphasize aromatics, espresso needs ratio control.
Scale water or yield from the chosen dose instead of forcing one fixed recipe. This mirrors the app's custom dose calculator.
Sour, bitter, thin, hollow, muted, or boozy cups get different next-step adjustments.
REFERENCE LIBRARY
