Beanard waving hello

The espresso journal

Every shot, every bag, remembered.

“Was it grind 4 or 4.5?” That simple question, every single morning. BeanBudget reminds you of your previous recipe and logs your shot in 10 seconds, all for less than one latte a month.

Log in 10 seconds

Your last shot's numbers are already filled in. Nudge what changed, tap the stars, done — before the crema settles.

Your journey, documented

Every bag in one cupboard: photo, tasting notes, every shot you pulled on it, and how many grams you have left.

A coach when you want one

Free includes three no-video assessments and one with video during your 7-day trial. Journal makes no-video assessments unlimited and includes three video reads each month, while Coach makes both unlimited and adds guided, multi-shot dial-in.

How it works

A habit, not a chore.

1

Pull your shot, log it

Open BeanBudget at the machine. Your bean is selected, your last numbers are prefilled — you only touch what changed.

2

BeanBudget remembers

Next week, standing at the grinder wondering what you did — it's right there: grind, dose, time, and how it tasted.

3

Ask Beanard when a bag fights you

New beans behaving badly? Dial-in mode coaches you one change at a time until the bag sings. No wasted half-bag.

From early users

Small pain. Real habit.

I used to write the grind size on the bean bag. Now I check how my last shot tasted before I pull the next one. Logging takes seconds, so I actually do it — every day.
Joelearly user, logging daily
I kept wasting half a bag re-dialing beans I'd already figured out once. Now a new bag takes a handful of shots — Beanard suggests one change, remembers what we tried, and the journal keeps the answer.

Beanard, your coffee coach
New bag fighting you? I'll dial it in with you — one change at a time.

A shot assessment gives one logged shot a clear next step, with or without a video. Coach makes both unlimited and adds guided multi-shot dial-in.
