The Great Coffee App Reviews

by Brittanymurderface

It didn’t even mention in the flat white that it needs ristretto. There is no mention on milliliters or amounts. I like to b exact. It’s a good app but not good enough. Needs more precise amounts mentioned when it says how to make drinks. Ratio is key to getting flavor right. Sad but want my money back. :/

I got TheGreatCoffeeApp for free and still feel like I paid too much.

Essentially, it gives pictures and descriptions of espresso-based drinks. The same information is readily available over the Internet.

Other reviewers have described TheGreatCoffeeApp as “lazy,” and I agree. There is so much more information that could have been included. For instance, the attributes of different types of coffee beans (e.g. Arabica vs. Robusta). Or how about the characteristics of different coffees (Kenya vs. Sumatra) in terms of flavor, acidity, earthiness, etc.?

Also, I could think of a number of coffee brewing techniques not included here. I know the focus of TheGreatCoffeeApp is plainly on the “elite” brewing methods. But lots of people who haven’t “graduated” to Keurig still use drip machines. Some of us might still have a percolator that gets pulled out for camping trips. And then there’s a concoction known as “cowboy coffee.” Moreover, you discuss Turkish coffee. What about Greek and Arab coffees?

Lots of work is needed here.

It pains me to put 3 stars because the functionality and presentation is superb, but the lack of brew ratios makes it a 3 star app. For instance if you look at Turkish coffee brew method it says to put "some" finely ground coffee into the brew vessel. They do include ratios for the basic espresso drinks which is awesome but they need it for everything else. I understand there is some debate and personal preference involved with brew ratios but I was hoping to use TheGreatCoffeeApp as a consolidated reference for coffee drinks. A baseline or start point is too easy and would make this a beautiful one stop shop for coffee brewing info.

The demo for the Aero Press is upside down but I'm happy about it because I didn't understand how to do it that way.

Other than the espresso section this is very basic since it shows the steps of brewing but nothing about the science of different techniques, types of beans, temperature or grind. It's nice to see a simple cup brew for emergencies but it failed to address the same reason people have resorted to instant crystal types- emergency coffee needs. The demo includes powdered milk product- if anyone uses that in anything they're fouling the beverage unless it's a comfort food for them. Yes, that happens.

This is pretty much a one time use app unless you get a new brewing system. There's better ways to learn about coffee

Beautiful app with images and videos but doesn’t tell you how much of what goes in making the drink. Needs ratios!

This has to be one of the best apps I have ever interacted with! I knew "jack" about coffee until I walked through their outstanding tutorial. I'm just shocked at the amazing quality of TheGreatCoffeeApp and I can only recommend it to others who want to learn about the coffee brewing experience

Great interface, nice images and clear information! Love it!

Both beautiful and useful, TheGreatCoffeeApp is worth every penny if you love coffee.

by AbbeyinKS

This is a simple, beautiful and easily navigable app! I love it and will be referencing it often to use with my espresso machine and French press. 👍🏻👍🏻

I enjoy coffee and TheGreatCoffeeApp enables me to try many different types in the comfort of my home. Good job.

Great videos too.

Thank You

by CarlJeremyC

I dont know if it's in fact real and the crappa's description and that there's also a video instruction of it was hilarious.

I found it unsurprising that America would change names of coffee brews. I guess a macchiato really isn’t what a macchiato is supposed to be. LOL

by Buenoboyo

So worth every contributed dollar for the devs.

I thought I knew espresso drinks until I loaded this. I'm learning Italian next!

by Martyttt

This is a very nicely designed app that'll excite every coffee lover. Great photos, great music, great UX and a surprising amount of offered languages. I highly recommend TheGreatCoffeeApp.

I liked TheGreatCoffeeApp a lot on my iPhone, on the iPad its like an interactive coffee table book. You can have this version with your coffee, at any table.

by SammyElni

Beautiful and easy to use. A must have app to any coffee lover. Great way to get to know all these different ways of getting your caffeine fix. Highly recommended.

With this version, TheGreatCoffeeApp developer has reached "great."

Thank you for adding the "on-boarding" tutorial to let users know how to use TheGreatCoffeeApp .

Please consider adding a link to the main page or espresso/method summary page (the one reached by clicking the tiny "o") called "Navigation" or "Using TheGreatCoffeeApp ."

I may not use TheGreatCoffeeApp for a couple of months, and I would forget the subtle navigation. I need a way to relearn the use of TheGreatCoffeeApp .

Thank you for TheGreatCoffeeApp , my espresso has improved!

Even for someone who has all of the coffee toys, this has SO many more methods than I knew about. It goes through everything about every kind of coffee drink. Watch the demonstrations...especially Crappa 😂
