Which app turns a coffee bag into a recipe for my grinder?
In Cupd you scan the bag, and the AI Brew Assistant writes a recipe with the grind setting for your grinder and filter. Guided Brew then walks you through every step with a timer, and if the cup is not right yet, you tell the assistant what to change. Coffee Master also gives grind settings from a bag scan.

What the assistant reads
From the bag it reads roaster, origin, processing and flavor notes. Together with your brewing method, your grinder and your taste profile it writes dose, water, temperature, grind setting and the pours. You check the recipe before you save it.
