Three pillars. One perfect workflow.
Most apps track brews. HomeBarista tracks brews, manages your beans, and shows you what actually works.
Log Every Brew
Dose, grind, water, temp, time, TDS, extraction — capture every variable that affects taste. Copy from your last brew or start from a device template to save time.
Manage Your Coffee
Every bag tracked from origin to last cup. Watch inventory deplete in real-time, get warned when you're running low, and scan labels with AI to skip manual entry.
Discover What Works
Brew frequency charts, method breakdowns, score trends, and daily streaks. Stop guessing what made yesterday's cup great — the data tells you.
Built different. Built deeper.
Most brew trackers stop at the basics. HomeBarista goes further — way further.
Brewing Devices
From Hario V60 to Vietnamese Dripper — every method has a dedicated icon and tailored parameters. Not a generic "other" category.
Brew Parameters
Dose, grind, water, temp, yield, time, TDS, extraction %, pressure, flow rate, bloom, pH, sensory scores — every variable that affects your cup.
Bag Scanner
Point your camera at any coffee bag. AI reads the label and auto-fills origin, process, variety, and tasting notes instantly.
Inventory Tracking
See how much coffee is left in every bag. Doses auto-deduct when you brew. A red ring warns you when it's time to reorder.
Every detail. Every brew.
25+ parameters per brew — from dose and grind to extraction percentage, TDS, pressure, flow rate, and sensory scores. Multi-step recipes let you define each pour. Smart defaults and copy-from-last make logging take seconds.
Never run out. Never guess.
Every bag tracked from origin to last cup. Inventory rings show exactly how much coffee is left — they turn red when you're running low. Days off roast updates automatically. AI scans bag labels so you skip manual entry entirely.

Loved by home baristas everywhere
Real reviews from coffee lovers who track every brew, dial in every cup, and never look back.
"I switched from a spreadsheet and this is so much better. The inventory rings alone saved me from running out twice this month."
"The bag scanner blew my mind — pointed it at a new bag and everything auto-filled. 30+ devices and it actually has my Hario Switch."
"Finally an app that tracks TDS and extraction %, not just dose and water. The insights show me exactly what made my best V60s so good."
"The copy-from-last feature is a game changer. I log a brew in under 10 seconds now. Best coffee app on iOS by far."
"Being able to see my method breakdown and brew frequency over time helped me realize I was neglecting my Chemex. Data-driven brewing is real."
"I love that every device has its own icon and parameters. No other app treats my Kalita Wave and Origami as first-class citizens."
"The base brew feature saved me so much time. I set up my go-to V60 recipe once and every new brew starts from there. Brilliant."
"I track every brew for my small roastery samples. The export feature lets me share tasting notes with customers. Incredibly useful."
"The streak tracking keeps me motivated. 47 days in a row and counting. It turned my morning coffee into a proper daily practice."
"Love how it remembers my last grind setting per device. My AeroPress and V60 have totally different setups and it just knows."
"The days-off-roast tracking is something no other app does this well. I can finally see the sweet spot for every origin I buy."
"I went from guessing ratios to nailing 20% extraction consistently. The auto-calculated fields make dialing in so much faster."

Each device has a dedicated icon and customizable brew parameters.
What brew parameters can I track?
You can track 25+ parameters per brew: dose, grind setting, water, bloom water, temperature, yield, brew ratio, brew time, bloom time, TDS, extraction %, basket size, water pH, pressure, flow rate, plus sensory scores for acidity, body, aftertaste, aroma, sweetness, and bitterness (each 1–10), an overall score (0–100), comments, roast date, and days off roast.
Is HomeBarista free to use?
Yes! HomeBarista offers a free tier with a limited number of brews and coffees. Upgrade to HomeBarista PRO for unlimited brews, unlimited coffees, full insights with charts and trends, and data export. All PRO plans include a 3-day free trial.
What languages does HomeBarista support?
HomeBarista is available in 6 languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Dutch, and Portuguese.
Can HomeBarista scan coffee bag labels?
Yes! HomeBarista includes AI-powered camera scanning that reads your coffee bag labels and automatically fills in details like coffee name, roaster, origin, processing method, variety, and tasting notes — saving you from manual entry.
How does inventory tracking work?
Each coffee bag has a visual inventory ring showing remaining weight. When you log a brew, the dose is automatically deducted from the selected bag. The ring turns red when you're running low (under 40g), so you always know when to reorder. Days off roast is tracked automatically from the bag's roast date.
How does the extraction calculator work?
HomeBarista's built-in extraction calculator takes your TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) reading from a refractometer and automatically calculates your extraction percentage based on your dose and yield. A visual indicator shows whether you're under-extracted, in the ideal range, or over-extracted — so you know exactly how to adjust your grind, dose, or brew time for the next cup.
What are base brews and reference brews?
Base brews are default templates per brewing device — start every new brew from your preferred recipe instead of entering everything from scratch. Reference brews mark your best brew for a specific coffee and device combination, giving you a target to replicate every time.
What Pro tools are included?
HomeBarista Pro includes five tools: Extraction Calculator (TDS to extraction % with visual zones), Espresso Dial-In Assistant (structured workflow with taste feedback and smart adjustments), Cost Per Cup Calculator (with milk cost breakdown), Water Recipe Calculator (5 presets including Pavlis, RAO, and SCA), and Equipment Maintenance Tracker (schedules with overdue alerts).
Is my data synced across devices?
Yes. All your brews, coffees, roasters, and settings are synced to the cloud via Firebase. Sign in with Apple, Google, or email and your data is accessible from any device.
