Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Frank, and I built this after pulling one too many sour espresso shots and having no idea what to adjust.
The problem:
When I started with espresso, every "dial-in guide" felt like guesswork. Shot tastes sour? Could be grind, could be temp, could be dose, could be your beans, could be the weather apparently. I wanted something systematic.
The solution:
The Extraction Compass lets you click where your shot lands (sour + weak? bitter + strong?) and tells you exactly what to change first. The key insight: a washed Ethiopian light roast needs completely different handling than a natural Brazilian medium. So the tool adapts its recommendations based on your specific bean.
The Flavor Wheel:
I kept seeing "jasmine, bergamot, stone fruit" on fancy bags and thinking "cool, but how do I find MORE beans like this?" So I made the WCR Sensory Lexicon interactive. Click a flavor → see which origins, processes, and varieties produce it.
What's included:
- Extraction Compass for espresso & filter
- Ratio calculator with dose/yield lock
- Pourover recipes (Hoffmann, Rao, Kasuya 4:6) with timer
- Interactive WCR Flavor Wheel
- Database: 30+ origins, 60+ varieties, 20+ processing methods
Would love feedback – especially if you spot errors in the coffee data!
Thanks for checking it out ☕

Such a useful tool for all the coffee lovers out there! Nespresso won't match that!

@avloss Appreciate it! 😄
This one’s less about capsules, more about curiosity, dialing in, and great coffee.

What is your GTM strategy? I think this could be very popular in coworkings and companies (not just only for cafés and restaurant) :)

@busmark_w_nika Great question, at the moment it’s very much a community-first approach.
I’m focusing on making something genuinely useful for home brewers and coffee people, and letting it spread organically.
That said, I love the idea of coworkings and teams using it as a shared coffee tool — especially places where coffee is part of the culture. Definitely something I’d love to explore further 🙂
Love this. Super practical, zero fluff. The extraction compass plus offline, no-account approach is 🔥 for home baristas. Feels like a true use it every morning tool rathar than another coffee blog.
Yeah, coffee people will genuinely love it 🤤
Tastiest launch of the day!
Coffee is a full-on obsession in my house, so this site (especially the troubleshooting section) is an absolute delight.
This looks amazing!
As a self-proclaimed espresso snob, this is extremely necessary.
Looks great — does it support a moka pot?
How can I try this product?
