What it does
Coffee Pal is for the cup you had on holiday, the one that is now a photo buried in your camera roll: it keeps the cup, the beans and the method together so you can find it again. From 7 coffee apps that aren't a rewards card.
Photograph today's cup; it's filed by date, method and where you made it. From 5 apps for a slow Saturday morning.
The developer describes it as: “You came back from a weekend in Lisbon with a single perfect cup — a hand-poured V60, beans from a tiny roaster two blocks from your hotel.”
