Dial in every shot.
The espresso journal that tells you what to try next. Pull a shot, tap once, and Crema turns your log into a clear next step — plus a starting recipe for every new bag.
Every pull, recorded. Every bean, understood.
Crema is the journal you wished you'd been keeping — a Brew home, Quick Log, History, and Insights, one tap apart.
Dose, yield, grind, taste — in seconds.
Set your grinder and machine once — or pick a preset. Every shot is a few taps after that, and Log again repeats a recipe so you change only what was different. Flavor chips, a 10-point rating, sour↔bitter and thin↔heavy scales.
Watch each bag dial in.
Every shot from a bag becomes a row in its journal — ratio, time, flavors, score. See the day-six bitter pull turn into a day-nine 9/10. Roast date and shots-remaining tracked automatically.
- Roast-aging reminders — degas, peak, stale-by
- Freezer tracking pauses days off roast; finished bags tuck away
- Origin, process, varietal, price — with cost per shot
- Best ratio, best time, best grind — per bean
A coach, not a spreadsheet.
After every shot, Crema picks one change for the next — from how it tasted, how it ran, your basket, and your best shot so far. It runs on your device.
Sour and fast (22s against a 30s target). Closing the grind slows the flow and pulls more sweetness.
Don't start from zero.
From your best shots on similar coffee — same coffee, same roaster, or same roast.
See the walk to the sweet spot.
Your sweet spot, plotted.
Crema reads your library and surfaces the patterns you'd never spot in a spreadsheet — a freshness curve with the best rest window per roaster, cost per shot, weekly consistency, and where your grind clusters when the rating spikes. Compare any two beans side by side.
Bigger marks mean higher ratings. Where each bean's marks cluster on the X-axis is its grind sweet spot.
Pull a shot without the phone.
Crema now lives where your hands are: Apple Watch, widgets, Control Center, and Siri.
- Timer with haptic checkpoints that keep going with your wrist down
- Set the yield with the Digital Crown, rate the shot — it lands in your iPhone log
- Watch-face complications: days off roast, maintenance due
The small stuff, captured.
Share any recipe as a link or QR code. Import from a supported export file, and back everything up — photos included — in one file, or export CSV.
No account. No tracking.
Your log syncs through your own private iCloud, or stays on your device. No analytics, no servers, no sign-in — the coach runs on your device. Every feature is free; an optional tip jar keeps Crema independent.
Built around your setup.
Crema knows the difference between a Niche Zero clicking from 10 to 16 and a Varia VS6 humming at 1,000 rpm. Pick a preset or set up your grinder once — units, ranges, burrs, RPM — and every shot logs against it.
Varia VS6
0–80, step 1 · 600–1,600 rpm · SSP Brew burrs
Niche Zero
0–50 dial · single dose · stock burrs
Breville Bambino+
9 bar · 93°C · 18→36g in 30s
Flair 58

Stop guessing. Start dialing.
Bring your beans, your gear, and your taste — Crema will tell you what to try next.
