Hi HN! I've been deep in the specialty coffee rabbit hole for a few years and built this tool to help me dial in espresso and pourover more systematically. *What it does:* • Extraction Compass – click where your shot lands (sour/bitter × weak/strong), get diagnosis and adjustments. It factors in your bean's origin, processing method, roast level, and variety. • Pourover recipes from Hoffmann, Rao, Hedrick, Kasuya (4:6) with step-by-step timer. Water amounts auto-calculate based on your dose. • Interactive WCR Flavor Wheel based on the World Coffee Research Sensory Lexicon 2.0.…

BrewCat▲11I built a pour-over coffee tracker that logs your brews, visualizes extraction, and uses AI to suggest your next move. Made it to help myself dial in new beans more methodically - technically it can work with Espresso as well, but I haven't really tested it. Based on my experience, the AI is helpful for identifying direction, but not great with specifics. For example, I often make larger adjustments when dialing in - if I’d normally grind 3 clicks finer on my Comandante, the AI suggests just 1 click or a 1°C temp change. I’m still fine-tuning the prompts, but I think it’s promising for those…

It’s available on iOS now: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id6499280064 We got into specialty coffee during COVID and, like many others, fell deep down the rabbit hole. Along the way, we ran into the same frustrations: - A drawer full of empty coffee bags. - No simple way to track grind size, rest dates, notes—by bean. - My coffee history scattered across photos, screenshots, notebooks, and half-memories. - The unique traits, people, and stories behind each coffee disappearing from the internet once it sold out (since coffee is an agricultural good) - In our opinion, no…

Hey HN OpenCopilot is an OSS framework which helps devs to build open-source AI Copilots that actually work and embed into their product with ease. Why another LLM framework? Twitter is full of impressive LLM applications but once you peel off the curtains it’s clear that they are just demos. The reason being because building an AI Copilot that goes beyond a Twitter demo can be complex, time-consuming and unreliable. Our team has been in the AI space since 2018 and built numerous LLM apps & copilots. While doing that, we got approached by many startups saying they’d also like to build a…
