What is BeanBean?
BeanBean is an innovative mobile application designed to enhance the coffee brewing experience through a structured methodology of brew, taste, tweak, and repeat. The app guides users in following brewing recipes, identifying taste aspects such as sourness, bitterness, and overall flavor, and then modifying brewing variables accordingly. By leveraging user input on taste ratings, it provides tailored recommendations to refine recipes for better results in subsequent brews.
Currently available on the Google Play Store, BeanBean focuses on pour-over methods like Hario V60, with plans to expand to espresso mode and additional variables such as elevation and roast level. The app aims to simplify the process of achieving consistent, high-quality coffee by making data-driven adjustments accessible to both beginners and experienced brewers.
