1. 5/5Great app for great coffee!

   What more could one ask for in a coffee app? One can see the variety of drinks to choose from, visual ratios* for the ingredients in each drink, instructions on how to prepare each drink, plus there’s even a video that demonstrates how each drink is made. There’s even a bonus section on the different styles of coffee which can be made and how to make them. *Note: I did say that the app gives visual ratios for the ingredients not measurements for the ingredients. For some folks this might be a problem, but for me, personally, visual ratios allow the user some flexibility. All in all, a great app for coffee lovers!

2. 5/5Hands down the BEST coffee app!

   This has to be one of the best apps I have ever interacted with! I knew "jack" about coffee until I walked through their outstanding tutorial. I'm just shocked at the amazing quality of the app and I can only recommend it to others who want to learn about the coffee brewing experience

3. 3/5Aero Press is upside down

   The demo for the Aero Press is upside down but I'm happy about it because I didn't understand how to do it that way. Other than the espresso section this is very basic since it shows the steps of brewing but nothing about the science of different techniques, types of beans, temperature or grind. It's nice to see a simple cup brew for emergencies but it failed to address the same reason people have resorted to instant crystal types- emergency coffee needs. The demo includes powdered milk product- if anyone uses that in anything they're fouling the beverage unless it's a comfort food for them. Yes, that happens. This is pretty much a one time use app unless you get a new brewing system. There's better ways to learn about coffee

4. 3/5Needs ratios

   It pains me to put 3 stars because the functionality and presentation is superb, but the lack of brew ratios makes it a 3 star app. For instance if you look at Turkish coffee brew method it says to put "some" finely ground coffee into the brew vessel. They do include ratios for the basic espresso drinks which is awesome but they need it for everything else. I understand there is some debate and personal preference involved with brew ratios but I was hoping to use this app as a consolidated reference for coffee drinks. A baseline or start point is too easy and would make this a beautiful one stop shop for coffee brewing info.

5. 2/5Slick but severely lacking

   I got this app for free and still feel like I paid too much. Essentially, it gives pictures and descriptions of espresso-based drinks. The same information is readily available over the Internet. Other reviewers have described this app as “lazy,” and I agree. There is so much more information that could have been included. For instance, the attributes of different types of coffee beans (e.g. Arabica vs. Robusta). Or how about the characteristics of different coffees (Kenya vs. Sumatra) in terms of flavor, acidity, earthiness, etc.? Also, I could think of a number of coffee brewing techniques not included here. I know the focus of the app is plainly on the “elite” brewing methods. But lots of people who haven’t “graduated” to Keurig still use drip machines. Some of us might still have a percolator that gets pulled out for camping trips. And then there’s a concoction known as “cowboy coffee.” Moreover, you discuss Turkish coffee. What about Greek and Arab coffees? Lots of work is needed here.
