The coffee app that brews with you

Recipes from named baristas

More than a thousand recipes across about a hundred brewers and methods: Hario V60 and Switch, AeroPress, Chemex, Kalita Wave, Origami, Orea, April, the NextLevel Pulsar, Clever, French press, moka pot, siphon and cold brew. Each one carries its dose, water, ratio, grind, temperature and timed steps, and the name of the barista or brand behind it, with a link to the source. That includes winning recipes from the World Brewers Cup, the World AeroPress Championship and national championships.

The whole library is also on this site, one page per recipe, in six languages: browse the recipes.

A guided timer that keeps your eyes on the kettle

Start a recipe and Gota runs it with you: bloom, each pour, the waits and the swirls. Every step shows how much water to reach and by when, with a 3-2-1 count before it starts and a sound and a haptic tap at each pour, so you can watch the coffee instead of the clock.

Hands-free: voice guidance and voice control

Turn it on and Gota reads each step aloud — the water to reach, the pace, the technique, the temperature — and listens for a short answer: “Done”, “Start pour”, “Resume”, “Finish”. It works in the six languages the app speaks. How voice works.

Bluetooth scales

Connect an Acaia scale and Gota follows the pour: the grams left, your pour rate in grams per second against the band the recipe wants, a cue just before each target and pours that close on their own when the weight settles. The weights and the curve of each pour stay in your brew history. Compatible scales.

Your grinder's settings

Recipes write their grind on Gota's scale from 1, very fine, to 10, very coarse. Add your grinders and every recipe shows that grind as the setting on yours — 20 to 26 clicks on a Comandante C40 for a V60, for instance — and Gota remembers where you left the dial with each coffee. Settings for 50 grinders.

Your beans, and how fresh they are

Keep a shelf of the coffees you buy: roaster, origin, variety, process, roast level and roast date. Gota tracks how fresh each bag is — resting, ready, at its best, fading — counts the grams left and tells you when a bag is about to run out. With Gota Pro, photograph the bag and it fills everything in. Bag scanning.

The AI barista

Before you brew, the barista reads the recipe, the coffee, how fresh it is, your grinder and your past cups with it, and suggests one change worth making. After the cup, tell it how it tasted and it suggests the next one. One change at a time, with the reason behind it. How the barista works.

Import a recipe

Found a recipe on a card, in a book or in a screenshot? Photograph it, or paste its text, and Gota turns it into a recipe you can brew, timed steps included, ready to review before you save it. Recipe import.

Live Brew: a video of your brew, edited for you

Film your brew with the camera and Gota cuts the video for you: a cover with the recipe, a card for each step with its target weight, time and temperature, the clock running and your rating at the end. A vertical video, ready to share. Live Brew.

A brew journal that learns your taste

Rate every cup, tag its flavours and add tasting notes. Your history shows what you brewed, with which beans, grinder setting and scale readings, and Insights shows your current coffee, a suggested next brew and where your taste is drifting.

Your own recipes

Build a recipe from scratch or adapt one from the library: steps, water targets, pour rates and timing. Share it as an image card. Two recipes of your own are free; Gota Pro makes them unlimited.

Cold brew, planned and timed

Tell the cold brew assistant how much you want, how you'll drink it and the style you like, and it works out the dose, ratio, grind, temperature and steeping time. The steep runs on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island until it is ready. Cold brew.

Learn

Forty lessons in five chapters — the bean, foundations, methods, techniques and cupping — with interactive demos, and a glossary of 51 terms for when a word gets in the way. Read them on the web.

And the rest

Widgets for the Home and Lock Screens (the next cup, your current coffee, cups waiting for a rating), an extraction calculator with the SCA brewing control chart, the filters that fit each brewer, grams or ounces, Celsius or Fahrenheit, and dark mode. The library is on your phone, so it works offline.

Free, and Gota Pro

The app is free to download and free to keep: a core library of recipes, the guided timer, voice, Live Brew, the journal and two recipes of your own. Gota Pro adds every recipe in the library, unlimited recipes of your own and the AI features — import, bag scanning, the barista and the cold brew assistant — as a monthly or yearly subscription.

No account, and your coffee stays on your phone

Gota doesn't ask for an email or an account. Your brews, recipes and history live on your device; the app goes online only for the AI features, purchases and the reports you choose to send.
