  6. 5 Best Apps For Coffee Drinkers

    April 17, 2013 by

    Best Coffee AppsThere are two things most Americans do every morning: check their smartphones and drink a cup of coffee. Plenty of them combine both activities. So we found 5 coffee apps (and 1 tea app so no one feels left out) that will make satisfying your caffeine habit a little easier when you’re at home or on the go.

    Barista: Want fancy coffee without fancy prices? This app will help you create cafe-quality espresso drinks at home. It’s $2.99 for iPhone and iPad (which is still cheaper than that skinny double upside down vanilla latte from a cafe), but Android has a similar app for free called BartistaMe.

    PerfectCoffee: Do you prefer a good, old-fashioned cup of joe? Well, this Android app will help you formulate the best ratio of grounds to water for the number of cups you want. So your morning’s jet fuel will always be perfect. For Android only.

    Coffee Roaster: If you’re really serious about your coffee, you might have considered roasting your own beans. This Android app will train you- helping you keep track of roast duration, temperature, and more so you avoid mistakes. (more…)
