Every food & coffee app on these lists

21 apps in total. Each line is what that app does differently from the others here — the reason it made a list rather than being a second copy of something already on it.

• AeromaticAeromatic is built only for the AeroPress: recipes from baristas, roasters and championship winners, walked through step by step.
• America's Test KitchenAmerica's Test Kitchen tests recipes until they work, and reviews equipment too — for when the question is which pan rather than which recipe.
• BeliBeli keeps ranked lists of everywhere you've actually been, plus where your friends ate and what they thought of it.
• Bring!One shared grocery list the whole household can add to in real time.
• CellarTrackerTrack the bottles in your wine cellar and pick what to open tonight.
• Coffee PalCoffee 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.
• CooklistShows recipes you can cook with the food already in your pantry.
• CookShelfCookShelf searches the cookbooks already on your shelf by ingredient and tells you which book to open.
• Dish PalDish Pal takes "chicken curry for dinner", or a whole recipe pasted in, and comes back with a grocery list already grouped by aisle.
• Filtru CoffeeFiltru Coffee teaches the method while you brew it, so you come out knowing why the pour is shaped that way.
• FlippFlipp puts weekly circulars from over 2,000 stores in one place, so "is this cheaper somewhere else" has an answer before you leave the house.
• FourSix Coffee TimerFourSix Coffee Timer takes pour over recipes, which get complicated fast, and reduces them to something you can follow at 7am.
• HiCoffeeHiCoffee tracks caffeine rather than flavour, with data for 2,500+ branded drinks and an estimate for whatever you made at home.
• MapstrMapstr is one tap to save the bakery you walked past. Tag it, colour-code it, and send a friend a link that opens in any browser.
• MusicPalA music player whose screen is just the song title and a running clock.
• PaprikaSave recipes from any website, then plan meals and build grocery lists.
• PestlePestle takes a recipe you share into it — a page, a video, anything — keeps only the ingredients and steps, then reads them back hands-free.
• The Great Coffee AppThe Great Coffee App is a barista's reference rather than a tracker: what goes into 19 espresso drinks and 10 brewing methods, shown in cross-section with a video for each step.
• Timer.CoffeeTimer.Coffee is a brewing timer and ratio calculator that is free and open source. Donations are optional and never gate a feature.
• YukaYuka grades the product from a barcode scan, and suggests a similar one when the grade comes back bad.
• YumPalYumPal takes a photograph of the plate — that's the whole entry. It lands on a timeline by date, tagged by occasion, pinned to the place you ate it.
