You’re a coffee afficiando, and so am I! Beanconqueror is the product of our shared love of the drink in our cups and in our hearts. Whether you're just starting out, or are an experienced barista, Beanconqueror will help you get the most out of your coffee.

Optimize your brews: Beanconqueror offers a wide range of preparation methods, including V60, Aeropress, Espresso, Orea v3, Mokkamaster and more. Each comes setup ready to go, or you can customize your preparation methods with just the parameters you want to use. This way, you can get your perfect brew every time.

Keep track of your beans: Beanconqueror makes it easy to keep track of all your beans. You can easily scan or import detailed information of roasted coffee from your favourite roasters, or even from your own roasting setup. It’ll even keep track of your running total of beans so you know when you’re running low.

Track your roasts: Add all the details for your green beans, roast them in batches tracking the variables you need to to maintain consistency, and automatically transfer your finished roasts to use for brewing.

Dedicated water section: Beanconqueror also has a dedicated water section where you can add your custom waters to be used in the brew section. Save all the key information for your water recipes, such as general hardness, sodium, calcium, magnesium, and more.

Flexibility and Convenience: Beanconqueror is available for both iOS and Android, so you can take it with you wherever you go. It also supports several languages, including English, German, Spanish, Chinese, and Turkish, and more will be added in the future. Beanconqueror is also Open Source and free to use.

Flow & Pressure Profiling: Beanconqueror is compatible with a range of bluetooth scales and pressure profile devices, including Decent Scale, Acaia Scales, Felicita Scales, Hiroia Jimmy, Eureka Precisa, Skale2, Smart Espresso Profiler, and Pressensor. It can even produce graphs to track your brew live and help you repeat your favourite brews more easily.

Third Party Apps

Beanconqueror Universe is growing outside :) Therefore some users did third party apps, where I don't have any stakes in it. Important: Beanconqueror doesn't take any warranty here.

Add beans to share directly from a webform: https://beanstats.vercel.app/beanconqueror/share/create (Uses the minify-logic of the add.beanl.ink aswell)

Questions

Why is external storage not supported?

Sadly there are some issues to read/use files from external storage apache/cordova-plugin-file#350

Why is image-export functionality not support on iOS?

iOS filesystem is different then on Android, because of this images cannot just be exported. Thats why just Android is support by now.

iOS - iCloud-Backup

You can backup Beanconqueror via iCloud, with this you can transfer all data to another device without any loss.

Android - Backup & Restore

Which requirements does the app needs?

The app needs access to your filesystem aswell as the camera

• Filesytem: Needed to save images which you took on beans/brews etc or exporting your settings. - Outdated after Android 13 changes.
• Camera: Needed to take picures or access the photo library to set images for your beans/brews
• Internet: NOT NEEDED! But needed if you want to send me some analytics information to make the app better :)
• GPS: NOT NEEDED! Activated through settings, saves the brew location
• Apple Health: NOT NEEDED! Activated through settings, saves caffeine amount
• Wake look: NOT NEEDED! Activated through settings, won't let your phone get into sleep mode while brewing
• Bluetooth: NOT NEEDED! Activated for smart scale use.
