The Brew Ledger
Let customers speak for us
I really love the appearance of this ledger, as it makes tracking espresso- making more structured, as well making a splendid appearance on my kitchen shelf. As I try more and more varieties of coffee, I am creating a customized personal logbook for how to best dial them in on each of my espresso making devices (I have six of them). I will now never forget which machine I used and the grind settings I need to brew the best espresso for any variety of coffee I have tried before. It's a tool I have needed, but never found, until now. Thanks, Charlie!
Thank you Charlie !! The BL is a great idea and it will pay itself forward by saving wasted coffee by way of taking the guess work out of the dial in process. No more guessing and wasting 3/4 of a bag of some fresh coffee to get things dialed in.
As a recent espresso machine purchaser, this has been great for me to learn how to dial in and have quality shots as I jump between bags of coffee
I was lucky enough to get one of these early and have enjoyed tracking my brews so far, it really helps with consistency and I’ve cut down on those random bad shots, it’s been really useful for someone as scatty as me!
I really like The Brew Ledger, It's a nice book full of useful tips for coffee lovers. The sections for tracking espresso recipes have helped me improve my brews. It feels sturdy and well-made.
Wonderfully assembled and full of great information to elevate the coffee experience. My father loved his present!
This book is perfect for me as a first timer grinding coffee at home. It helps me to get everything organised, so I can see exactly what I am doing.
I use to use an A4 book but could never get things organised.
Beautifully packaged and presented- a lovely present for any coffee enthusiast! The book feels of very high quality and has a sleek finish. I was very impressed with this and the recipient was very pleased too! Thank you
I’ve read through the Brew Ledger and can’t wait to start filling it in, I’m a newbie to espresso making but very much looking forward to my journey once my first machine the new Meraki espresso machine arrives end of January, the ledger is very well put together and very informative so even unused as yet a well worth purchase thanks.
I love this thing, it's a beautiful addition to my coffee counter. The only thing could be slightly better is if the book could lay flat when open a little easier. But it really is great and beautiful!
I am not writing this review for the product ( the Brew Ledger) because it speaks for it self and not enough expression in existence can emphasize enough it is use and purpose, but indeed I am writing this review to each and everyone who loves to explore different coffee beans from different roasters all the time -who knows how frustrating it could get and disappointing at other times it would be when dialing in- then this ledger is for you it will be the first step towards marking your own journey in every step in brewing and logging your personal experimentation while building your own experience and learning more about your personal taste and preferences. Thank you Charlie for this amazing ledger.
The ledger is really well designed, one could say a work of art on its own and it's absolutely the best way I have found to record my daily interactions with espresso. I tried using my own notebook at first and then switched to a spreadsheet app on my iPad but neither felt quite right and this also has some wonderful advice and artwork included. Thank you so much to Charlie for taking the time to create the ledger for the rest of us.
I've been using this to track my espressos since I bought it. It's a nice format for making notes.
The comments I have are:
It would be good to have separate fields for roaster and coffee as it's a bit of a squeeze to get them both in the same field.
The PS/PF boxes are a bit odd since I use neither puck screen or paper filter. I understand that I could use them for something else, but for me they just take up space. I would like more space for the dose/yield/time fields as these are they key info I'm recording and I like to record these to 0.1g precision, which there isn't a lot of space for.
Brilliant
Quality, compact and useful, can't wait to give this as a present!
What Do You Get With The Brew Ledger?
Beautifully designed espresso dial in layout
The layout gives space for all of your most important variables like grind, dose, yield, time, temperature and more. There’s a comments box for you to add any other details, a section to write what gear you are using and of course a section for tasting notes and comments.
If you like a particular coffee a lot, every corner has a little star you can fill in to remind yourself of your favourite beans.
High quality materials and printing
The cover is made of faux crushed leather with gold foil, so picking this up every day to take your espresso notes will be an mindful and calming part of your morning routine.
The main writing pages are 120gsm cream coloured paper, so you can write on them even with a fountain pen without bleeding through.
Each standard layout page gives you space to write all the details of your coffee to help you not only keep your dial in notes, but over time improve your ability to dial in coffee quickly and get the most out of your coffee beans.
There is a ribbon to keep your page, and a little star at the top you can fill in to find your favourite coffees faster.
Espresso techniques, ideas and tips with beautiful photography
When I first started making this book, I wanted to bring in some of my thoughts about making espresso better, so I wrote sections about how important the grinder is for espresso, how to dial in faster, what gear to use, what water to use and other interesting and useful topics.
And to present this beautifully I took photographs to illustrate these interesting and complex parts of the espresso making process.
