How can I compare coffee beans and brew recipes?

Record each brew against its beans, then add flavour notes and an optional personal rating from one to five. Filter the journal by beans, method, date or favourite status. Select up to four brews to compare dose, grind, ratio, timing and ratings, or export the matching records as a CSV. Unrated brews stay separate from rated averages.
