Golden Cup is a brew ratio calculator and timer for people who want their coffee dialed in — not
eyeballed.
Pick a method, pick a ratio, and Golden Cup tells you exactly how much coffee and water to use,
down to the gram. Then a guided, stage-by-stage timer walks you through the brew itself: when to
bloom, when to pour, when to stop.
FIVE BREW METHODS
- Pour-over — clean and balanced (free)
- Espresso — strong and concentrated
- French Press — rich and full-bodied
- AeroPress — bright and versatile
- Cold Brew — smooth and low-acid, steeped overnight
DIAL IT IN YOUR WAY
Start from tested preset ratios for each method, or fine-tune with a custom-ratio slider to match
your beans, your grind, and your taste.
GUIDED TIMERS
Every method has its own staged countdown — bloom, pours, steep — with a live progress ring and
the exact pour target in grams for each stage, so you're never guessing what to do next.
SAVE YOUR BEST BREWS
Rate and save the ratios that work, so your favorite cup is always one tap away.
