About Gota
A pocket coach for home baristas.
Gota is two things: an iOS app that runs the timer for you, and an open library of specialty coffee recipes from real baristas — fully bilingual, fully attributed, no signup required.

What Gota is
An iOS app for the moment of brewing: phase timer, real-time water amounts, pace cues. Designed so you can keep your eyes on the kettle, not on a screen.
And a public library on this site — every recipe in the app is also a real, indexable, shareable web page in your language.
Who makes it
Gota is built and maintained by Utropia, a small independent studio based in Spain. Reach us at hello@utropia.es — we read everything.
Where the recipes come from
Every recipe is attributed to the barista who developed it: world champions like James Hoffmann, Tetsu Kasuya, Matt Winton; brands like April, Hario, Fellow; coffee scientists like Scott Rao. We don't invent technique — we collect, format and translate.
When a recipe has a published source (article, video, blog post), we link to it. When it doesn't, the attribution stays.
Our principles
- Free to start
- The app is free to download with a core library of recipes. Gota Pro unlocks the full library, AI recipe import and bean scanning — available as a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.
- Always attributed
- No anonymous recipes. Every brew has a named author and, where available, a link to the original source.
- No signup, no tracking
- We don't ask for your email. We don't track you across the web. The site uses Fathom, a privacy-respecting analytics tool with no cookies.
- Local-first
- Your brews, custom recipes and history live on your device. We have no servers storing your taste.
