Why it exists

I was a pour-over and AeroPress person for years. Then I bought an espresso machine, five bags of coffee, and a notebook that could not keep up with grind sizes, doses and shot times. Reveries started as the app I needed to remember what I did and make the next cup better.

The journal

Every cup, written down.

Add the brewers you own, log each cup in a few taps or by talking while you pour, and keep the coffees that earned a place on your shelf. Rate each cup on the things that matter for that method, so an espresso and a pour-over are never judged the same way.

My brewers: La Marzocco Linea Mini, Hario V60, Origami, AeroPress, Hario Switch, Chemex — Start with the brewer you own. The form fits it.

This morning's V60 with its photo, dose, water, ratio and temperature — Dose, water, grind, time, and the photo.

A coffee bag with rating, freshness window and review — Every bag, with freshness, notes and your verdict.

Crease

Ask about your own coffee.

Crease is the AI coffee companion in Reveries. It has read your journal, so it answers with your own numbers: your dose, your grind, how you rated the cup.

Looks up your bags, brews and recipes, and compares brews of the same bag.
Reads the guide for your method, one of 31, and says when the obvious fix is the wrong one.
Knows your grinder: finer or coarser, then your own number (69 grinders on file).
Draws on 757 reference entries on origins, varietals, processing, roasts, defects and grades, and hedges when the evidence is thin.
Can search your earlier conversations when you ask.
Drafts journal changes for you to approve. It never saves on its own.

My Basankhan keeps coming out sharp on the V60, but my Karindundu is fine. What should I change?

Each step coarser drained faster and rated lower

25 clicks: 2:30, rated 4.0
26 clicks: 2:18, rated 3.8
27 clicks: 2:10, rated 3.6

Sharp can mean sour or harsh, and your notes point to sour. Each click coarser drained faster, rated lower and went more hollow, which is the under-extraction pattern. Go finer, which on the Comandante means a lower number, back to 25, your best brew of this bag, and 24 next time if it is still a little sharp. I would not chase the Karindundu’s 3:00, since a different coffee drains at its own pace.

Private by default

Yours until you share it.

Your journal syncs to your account, so it is on your iPhone and on the web. Nobody else sees any of it. You choose Public or Private for each kind of entry, and any single brew, coffee or recipe can go the other way. Export everything whenever you want.

If you want company, follow a few friends in Circle and see what they are brewing. No ads, and no algorithm deciding who sees what.
