A community of enthusiasts

Don't waste time
or beans.

MyCoffeeSettings exists because good beans get wasted dialing in grinders by trial and error. It is a community record of grinder settings, built by coffee drinkers who already went through that trial and error so you do not have to. Chances are, someone has already dialed in the bag you are holding. Start from their numbers, not your fifth cup. Along the way, MyCoffeeSettings doubles as your own coffee journal, tracking every coffee and setting you have tried, so you can explore new coffees and roasters and take more control over your own coffee experience.

Why MyCoffeeSettings

Save time and beans.

What we believe

We believe in efficiency. A process that takes two steps is better than one that takes five, and your time is yours to control. Finding a coffee's sweet spot should cost you one cup, not five.

How we do it

Our approach is simple: shared information that compounds. Instead of guessing, you learn from other people's mistakes as they learn from yours. One person solves a coffee, and everyone after them starts from that answer instead of from scratch.

What it is

MyCoffeeSettings© is our answer. It is an open repository of coffees and roasters where you save your settings and draw on everyone else's to reach the sweet spot in one cup instead of five. Roasters and users share their knowledge to reduce wasted time and beans.

If the grinder is the compass, we are the log.

How it works

Three steps to the perfect cup

When you get a new coffee, search for it in our library. If it's there, you'll have access to Roaster Recommended or Community settings, for any grinder and any brew.

Dial

These presets are your starting point, putting you in landing distance of your coffee's sweet spot. Don't waste beans or time. If your coffee isn't listed on MCS yet, help grow the community by dialing and saving it in on your own.

Save

Save your favorite settings to MySettings, your personal database of every coffee you've ever dialed in. Create your free profile and your settings are always there when you need them.
