Numbers first.Jargon never blocks.

From a new bag to a good shot.

Built for the morning at the machine, not for a spreadsheet hobby.

  1. Roasted beans spilling from an open bag

    01

    Every bag needs a plan.

    Fresh beans, unknown numbers. Until now that meant guessing.

  2. A portafilter beside a knocked-out puck

    02

    Six shots down the drain.

    That is what dialing in by hand costs. Around five euros a bag, every time.

  3. A coffee bag lit against a dark background

    03

    One photo. Your numbers.

    SnapDial reads roaster, process and roast level. Grind, dose and yield arrive in your grinder's own units: Gaggia, Niche, Oracle Jet, Barista Express.

  4. Fresh crema seen from above

    04

    Dialed in by shot two.

    Sour or bitter? Too fast or too slow? Two taps, one clear correction.

For people who already know what channeling is

SnapDial is a coach, not another shot logger. The rules speak barista: roast solubility, process quirks, basket dose, and the honest truth that your Niche does not share numbers with your neighbor's Niche.

Natural vs washed

Naturals extract faster and can taste fermenty if you push them. We start one step coarser. Washed coffees take the classic medium baseline.

Light roast density

Light beans are denser and less soluble. Finer grind, longer ratio near 1:2.5. Under-extraction tastes sharp, not bright.

Your grinder's dialect

"16" on a Gaggia stack is not "16" on a Niche. Stepless mills get relative guidance from your baseline. Built-in dials get factory anchors with honest ranges.

Why most espresso apps feel like homework

  • They record after the mess. SnapDial gives you a starting point before the first pull.
  • They ignore your hardware. A 54 mm Barista Express and a 58 mm classic are not the same recipe.
  • They ask for twelve fields. We ask for two taps after the shot: taste and flow. One change comes back.
