iCoffee features

iCoffee is a coffee brewing companion. You scan a bag of beans, get a guided recipe with a timer, log how the cup turned out, and ask the AI Barista when something's off. That's the loop. This page lists every feature in the app so you don't have to guess what's in it.

Brewing methods

iCoffee ships 20+ brewing methods. Each one has a guided recipe with a timer, accepts a manual log if you skip the timer, and works with AI Barista when you want a recipe generated for your beans. You can also create your own custom methods.

Pour over: V60, Chemex, Kalita Wave, Clever Dripper.

Immersion: French Press, AeroPress (standard), AeroPress (inverted), Siphon.

Espresso and stovetop: Espresso, Moka Pot, Electric Percolator.

Cold and slow: Cold Brew, Japanese Iced Coffee.

Traditional: Turkish Coffee, South Indian Filter Coffee, Vietnamese Phin Filter.

Other: Auto Drip Coffee Maker, Pod / Capsule Coffee, Instant Coffee.

Track every brew

Save every brew with the variables that actually affect the result: coffee dose, water amount and temperature, total brew time, your rating, taste notes. Add grind size by descriptor or microns, TDS and extraction percentage, a five-axis flavor profile (aroma, acidity, sweetness, body, finish), and photos. Tag flavors as you go so AI Barista learns what you actually taste.

Your bean library

Build a library of every bag you brew. Scan the barcode, point the camera at the label so the app reads roaster, origin, roast level, and tasting notes for you, or enter the bag by hand. Rate beans overall and per brewing method, track remaining weight as you brew through the bag, and mark favorites.

Your equipment

Track your grinders, espresso machines, kettles, scales, filters, and drippers. Store specs, click settings, manual links, and your own notes per item. iCoffee uses your equipment to pre-fill ratios in guided recipes and to ground the AI Barista's suggestions.

AI features

AI Barista is a conversational coffee assistant that knows your equipment, your beans, and your brew history. Ask why a cup was bitter, what grind to try next, what to buy.

Other AI features: scan a bag's label and pull out roaster, origin, roast level, and tasting notes. Generate a brew recipe for a specific bean on your equipment. Find a bean by partial info when the bag isn't in the catalog. Get feedback on what to change after you log a brew. Generate a custom brewing method when ours don't cover what you want.

AI features need network. Usage allowances scale with your tier (see pricing for current numbers).

Account and sync

Sign up with email, Google, or Apple. Or use the app as a guest without an account: guest mode works fully on one device but won't sync across devices. Registered accounts sync everywhere automatically and keep working offline. Delete your account in one tap from inside the app.

Achievements

Track your brewing streak day by day. Hit milestones across six achievement categories (milestone, streak, exploration, mastery, excellence, consistency) and progress through five mastery levels from Rookie to Master. Plus and Premium unlock additional achievements.

Subscriptions

iCoffee has three tiers: Lite (free), Plus, and Premium. The free tier is fully usable on its own. Local currency shown at checkout. See pricing for current amounts.

Shape of the gating between tiers:

  • Brew logging: every tier, no limits
  • AI Barista chat: Lite daily limit, Plus higher daily limit, Premium unlimited
  • Bean library size: Lite capped, Plus higher cap, Premium uncapped
  • Web enrichment on bag scan: Lite monthly allowance, Plus higher, Premium unlimited
