BeanBook: AI Coffee Tracker

Hello, Product Hunt! We’re Fang and Rokey, and we’re excited to share Beanbook, a passion project born out of our love for coffee. Our journey into the world of coffee started in 2020, and as we consumed bag after bag of beans, we noticed a gap in how we experienced coffee and how we truly understood coffee. So much information was either scattered or out of reach—details about the beans, the roasters, the farmers, and the unique attributes and stories behind them. As we enjoyed our brews, questions kept coming to mind, but there was no simple way to find the answers. That’s when we had the idea for Beanbook—An app focused entirely on Coffee Beans. Save your bags, Learn from your beans, Simple & fun powered by AI. Fang is in Hangzhou, I’m in Seattle. 10 months on two sides of the earth, We finally finished the Beanbook Beta: • Coffee Inventory • BeanBook AI Chat • 12+ coffee attributes for every bean: Roaster, Notes, Process method, Variety, Origin, Elevation, Roast Level, Type, Caffeine Content, Famer/ Producer/Mills • Take notes: Grinder Setting, Taste notes, Taste Profile, Bean Rating, Peak Flavor, Bag Size & Price We hope Beanbook helps you learn more about the people, stories & knowledge behind the beans, connect more with the beans you love. Coffee is a colorful FRUIT! (It's true, we asked BeanBook AI about it!) Beanbook exists to bring beautiful coffee Memories & Knowledge through your beans.

As a professional roaster, I’ve used plenty of AI tools, apps to track bean origins, roast profiles, and cupping notes, but BeanBook stands out in all the right ways. The UI is elegant and intuitive, making it a pleasure to use day in and day out. I love how the design metaphors reflect the sensory journey of coffee, not just its data. Every interaction feels handcrafted, much like the coffees we roast. What really impresses me is how BeanBook helps me organize and reflect on my work without feeling clinical. It supports my process without getting in the way. Whether I’m experimenting with a new roast curve or reviewing cupping feedback, it’s all right there in a format that feels both practical and inspiring. For anyone serious about coffee, from sourcing to roasting to tasting, this app is a gem. Hats off to the creators for building something so thoughtful. Thank you Rokey and Fang!

BeanBook tackles the scattered coffee-lover’s nightmare of lost brewing notes and forgotten flavor profiles by consolidating everything - from grinder settings and roast dates to origin stories - into one AI-powered journal. Its intuitive design and smart suggestions set it apart from generic note apps, and the seamless recipe saving feels impressively polished. Early onboarding looks smooth, though persuading habitual brewers to log every detail could be a hurdle. Partnerships with roasters and communities could accelerate growth, but retaining users hinges on demonstrable daily value. For dedicated coffee aficionados craving deeper insights, BeanBook delivers beautifully.
