Barista Notes: The Puck Book

Support

Barista Notes is a paper-style notebook for dialing in espresso. One page per bag of coffee, one line per pull: grind, dose, time, yield, verdict and a tasting note. Mark a pull Perfect and it becomes the pinned recipe at the top of the page.

How it works

Add a bag

Tap ＋ in the footer, or open the shelf (Bags) and tap New bag. Tap a bag's title on its page to edit it.

Log a pull

Tap Log on a bag's page. Tap a number to type it, press − / ＋ to step, or drag sideways to scrub. Repeat copies your last pull into a new one.

Pin a recipe

Save a pull with the Perfect verdict. The newest Perfect pull is always the pinned recipe; edit or delete it and the pin follows the next one.

Turn pages

Drag a page from the right edge, or use the chevrons in the footer. The shelf lists every bag.

Export your notes

Open the shelf and tap Export. You get a JSON file of every bag and pull to save, share or keep as a backup.

Frequently asked

Where is my data stored?

Only on your iPhone. There is no account and no server. Your normal iPhone backup (iCloud or computer) includes it. See the privacy policy.

My grinder uses numbers up to 10 (or has no numbers).

Grind settings run from 0 to 10 in steps of 0.1. Give the bag a grinder name and every setting is labelled with it.

Can I sync between devices?

Not yet. Use Export to move your notes manually for now.
