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, the guided timer, voice guidance and Live Brew. Gota Pro unlocks the full library, unlimited custom recipes and the AI features — recipe import, bag scanning, the barista and the cold brew assistant — with a monthly or yearly subscription.
- 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.
Gota for iPhone
You pour. Gota keeps count.
Gota is an iPhone app that brews these recipes with you: it tells you the water for each step, alerts you with a sound and a vibration, and remembers how every cup turned out.
