Your coffees: the Tanat Elto Hamasho card and its AeroPress recipe

A card that matches your bag

It borrows the artwork from the packaging and keeps track of the origin, how fresh the beans are and your settings for next time.

The scanned bag’s card: its artwork, dose, water and temperature

Make your first cup

Choose your gear

Pick your brewer and grinder. Their settings follow you from bag to bag.

Photograph the bag

Start with the front. Add the back if it lists the variety or roast date: both photos count as a single scan.

A recipe for your setup

Dose, water and temperature are set for the coffee and the method you choose. The grind setting matches your grinder and its markings.

Watch the dial

Illustrations show each move while the timer sets the pace. Weigh on a kitchen scale or, with a subscription, connect a compatible one to see the weight on screen.

Taste and adjust the next cup

Too sour, bitter or weak? Your feedback is saved, and the app tells you which setting to change.

What we stand for

The finishing touch is yours

Before reaching your kitchen, this coffee was grown, picked, processed and roasted. The card keeps what the label says about its origin and the people who produced it.

Understanding what you brew helps you choose the right technique for it.

Your questions

What is KAFA?

A coffee recipe app. You photograph the bag and it sets dose, water and grind for your grinder and brewer. It guides you through the brew, then helps you fix the next cup.

Do I need special equipment?

Your kitchen scale works fine. Pick your method and model: V60, French Press, moka pot or coffee machine. Bluetooth is optional.

What grind size for a V60?

It depends on your grinder. KAFA gives you the setting for your model (Comandante, Timemore, 1Zpresso, Fellow, Niche and many more). If the cup is too sour or too bitter, you’ll see which way to adjust it.

Does it work with grocery‑store coffee?

Yes. The scan reads what’s printed on the bag, and the recipe starts from there.

How much is it?

Without a subscription, you get guided brewing, two scans and three lessons. KAFA+ ($2.99 a month or $29.99 a year) adds five new bags each month and 33 more lessons. KAFA Pro ($4.99 a month or $49.99 a year) adds unlimited scans, your own recipes, the measurement tools and the three remaining lessons. On the App Store and Google Play, one of the two plans comes with a 2-week free trial. If you cancel, you keep the cards you’ve already made.

Why do scans cost money?

We pay for the photo analysis and for looking up the roaster’s details. Those two steps build the card. Rescanning a saved bag or brewing it again doesn’t use a scan.

What if I don’t like the recipe?

Record your feedback after brewing. You’ll see which setting to adjust next time, and what it changes.

Where does my data go?

The bag photo goes through our server and the AI that reads it, and we keep a private copy to improve scanning. Your card stays on your phone and, if you sign in, in your account. We sell none of it. Deleting your account erases your cards, photos and scan history, even from before you signed in. You can export your whole journal first.

When is it coming out?

It’s already on Google Play for Android. For iPhone and iPad, leave your email and you’ll hear from us once, on launch day.

How do I install it?

From the App Store on iPhone and iPad, from Google Play on Android. On a computer, point your phone’s camera at the QR code at the bottom of the page.
