SipNote

Brewing your barista assistant…

Photograph the bag. Get a published recipe from Hoffmann, Kasuya, or Hedrick, on your dose and your grinder. Tell it how the cup tasted, and it changes one thing for the next one.

How it works

Bag, pour, sip. Then a better cup.

  1. 0:00

    Photograph the bag

    The AI reads the roaster, origin, process, and roast date, and picks a published recipe that suits this coffee and your brewer.

  2. 0:45

    Follow the pours

    The recipe is scaled to the grams in your basket. A live clock lights the pour you are in, so you never lose your place.

  3. 3:00

    Say how it tasted

    Sharp, harsh, thin, or just right. SipNote makes one change for the next cup and remembers what worked.

Why SipNote

An AI you can check.

Real recipes, credited

Every recipe starts from a published method by a named barista, then gets adjusted to you. Nothing is invented on the spot, and you always see whose recipe it is.

One change at a time

Like a good barista dialing in: one miss means one click on the grinder. Only the same miss twice moves you to a different recipe.

It shows its work

Each suggestion comes with the reason. Open “What SipNote learned” to see the taste profile it builds from your cups.

Questions

Before the kettle boils.

Is SipNote free?

Yes. You can brew your first cup without an account. The free plan includes 25 AI messages a month, and brew logging and bag scans are unlimited. Pro is $2.99 a month for 300 messages.

Does the AI make up recipes?

No. It starts from published recipes by James Hoffmann, Tetsu Kasuya, Lance Hedrick, Scott Rao, and Jonathan Gagné, credits them, and adjusts the dose and grind to your coffee and gear.

Which brewers does it support?

V60, Chemex, AeroPress, French press, moka pot, and espresso. You can also ask the barista about any other method.

Do I need special equipment?

A kitchen scale helps, because the guide gives a gram target for each pour. Tell SipNote your grinder and it will suggest settings on that grinder’s dial.

What does it learn about me, and can I see it?

It learns from the brews you rate and the grind settings that worked. Everything it uses is shown on the “What SipNote learned” page in settings.

Is there an app?

SipNote runs in your browser and installs to the home screen on iPhone and Android, so it opens like an app.
