Crema — media & brand assets.
Everything you need to write about, link to, or feature Crema — the espresso journal at crema.live.
One-liner
The primary pitch. Copy-paste.
Primary
Crema is a quiet espresso journal. Log every bag, rate every brew, and watch it learn which grind actually works for you.
30-word pitch
Crema is a free espresso journal for your phone. Snap a bag, OCR fills the details, rate each brew, and Crema suggests the grind that's worked for you on similar roasts.
100-word pitch
Crema is a small, beautifully-opinionated espresso journal. Photograph a new bag and on-device OCR extracts the details. Track each dial-in attempt — dose, yield, time, grind, taste, texture — and rate the drinks you make (espresso, cortado, iced latte, cappuccino, or your own). As your history grows, Crema suggests starting grind settings for new bags based on your own ratings on similar roasts. No app store, no account wall (guest mode keeps everything local), no tracking, no ads. Runs as a PWA, installs to your Home Screen, syncs across devices when you sign in.

Key features
The list, lifted for bullet slides.
- Snap & auto-fill — client-side OCR extracts brand, origin, process, roast, weight, altitude, notes.
- Built-in photo editor — 4:5 crop, rotate, enhance. Shelf stays visually consistent.
- Dial-in companion — per-bag log of every pull with dose, yield, time, grind, taste, texture. Ratio + per-shot cost computed.
- Ratings that teach — Crema suggests starting grind for new bags, weighted by your own 4/5-star pulls on similar roasts.
- Four drinks + custom — espresso, iced americano, iced latte, cappuccino, or your own (cortado, flat white, V60…).
- Active / Finished shelf — history stays, clutter doesn't.
- A real journal — top picks, 30-day timeline, grinder sweet-spot chart.
