In short

Dialed: Espresso Journal is an iPhone app for logging espresso shots, timing them, and tasting them, with a suggestion after each shot on what to change next, such as a finer grind setting. It suits beginners, who get illustrated guides, and enthusiasts, who get charts and a shot history. Everything stays on the device, with no account or tracking.

About

Dialed is the fastest way to log your espresso and actually get better at it.

Pull a shot, open Dialed, and everything is already filled in from your last shot. Run the built-in timer, nudge the yield, tap how it tasted, done. It takes about ten seconds.

Then comes the part that matters: what to change next.

ONE CLEAR SUGGESTION AFTER EVERY SHOT Tell Dialed whether your shot tasted sour or bitter, and it tells you what to try next, in your grinder's own numbers: "Try grinding slightly finer: 7.2 → 7.0. Your recent shots are finishing quickly and tasting sour." It learns how sensitive your grinder is from your own shots, so the advice gets sharper the more you brew.

SEE YOUR DIAL-IN JOURNEY Every new bag becomes a little story: shot 1 at 21 seconds, shot 2 at 23, shot 3 at 26… and your taste score climbing until it's dialed in. Save the winner as a recipe and brew it again with one tap. Recipes keep every version, so you can always go back.

WHAT CHANGED? Compare any shot with the one before: you went one step finer, the shot ran 4 seconds longer, and it tasted less sour.
