Every great cup has two sides.
I drink coffee
Recipes worth repeating, a passport for every cup, and the roasters behind them.

Bean to passport.
01 / 06
Every bean starts somewhere.
See where your coffee grew — the farm, the altitude, the country — before it ever met a roaster.
02 / 06
Then someone roasts it.
A roast date, a roast level, a curve. OpenBarista keeps the details your roaster cares about.
03 / 06
You make the cup.
Time the bloom, the pour and the drawdown with a brew timer built for it.
04 / 06
Keep what worked.
Save the ratio, grind and time that made it sing, and brew it again tomorrow.
05 / 06
Share it.
Post a cup for the people who follow your taste, and find recipes worth borrowing.
06 / 06
Collect the places.
Every roaster you try stamps your coffee passport. Where will it take you next?
