The Brew Ledger is a journal that helps you track your espresso and waste fewer beans.

If you’re an espresso lover you might have many different beans at the same time, or like to try new coffees. When you change beans, you need to re-dial in your coffee, and the chance of you forgetting what settings you used is pretty high. 

Well now you have The Brew Ledger, where you can keep your dial-in settings and notes in a beautiful way to quickly refer to when switching beans, so you don't waste your beans because you forgot the settings you used.

Better tasting coffee and less waste!

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.

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.

Perfect for Beginners

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

Perfect way to record my espresso journey

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.

Handy Ledger

High quality, nicely sized book for recording all your shots. I was already keeping a record of my work on a computer generated spreadsheet I designed so the Ledger has not dramatically changed my routine, but I looks much nicer on my counter and more impressive to our guests! The layout of things is not 100% to my preference, but I’ve found workarounds. I would recommend the ledger to all who wish to keep a detailed account of the hobby.

Useful, neat, well presented

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.
