What is Aeromatic and what does it do?

Updated

Aeromatic is an AeroPress companion app for iOS and Android that combines a recipe library, a brew timer, and a bean tracker in one place. It is aimed at AeroPress owners who want to try new brewing techniques, follow step-by-step guidance while brewing, and keep notes on what they've made. If you already own an AeroPress and want structured recipes rather than guessing at ratios and timings, it's built for that use case.

What the app includes

According to the app's own site, Aeromatic centers on four things:

  • 60+ curated recipes from baristas, roasters, and championship winners
  • Step-by-step instructions for each recipe, paired with a built-in stopwatch
  • Video walkthroughs for recipes, so you can see the technique rather than only read it
  • Personal tools: add notes, create your own recipes, and track your coffee beans

The recipe library is the core of the product. The timer and step-by-step flow exist to help you execute those recipes consistently, while notes and custom recipes let you record and repeat your own adjustments.

Who it's for

If you are... Aeromatic is useful because...
New to the AeroPress Step-by-step instructions and videos reduce guesswork
Experimenting with technique 60+ recipes give you varied starting points to compare
Already dialing in your own brews You can save notes and build custom recipes
Tracking beans across bags The bean tracker keeps that in the same app

If you don't own an AeroPress, the app has no brewing method to apply to — it's specific to that brewer.

Sample recipes you can preview

The site lists a set of sample recipes so you can see the range before installing:

  • WAC 2023 Winner Tay Wipvasutt
  • Stumptown Regular Cup
  • Fellow Products Espresso Prismo
  • Wendelien van Bunnik Regular Cup
  • WAC 2017 Winner Paulina Miczka
  • WAC 2022 Runner-Up Simon Derutter

These span competition-winning routines and roaster/equipment-brand recipes, which gives a sense of how varied the full library is.

How to get started

  1. Install Aeromatic from the iOS App Store or Google Play (links are provided on the site).
  2. Open the Recipes section and pick one — either browse the full list or use the random recipe option if you want to try something unfamiliar.
  3. Follow the step-by-step instructions with the built-in stopwatch running.
  4. After brewing, add notes on grind, dose, or taste so you can adjust next time.
  5. If you land on a variation you like, save it as your own recipe.

Practical considerations

  • Platforms: iOS and Android are both listed as available.
  • Pricing: The site does not state a price or whether the app is free, so check the App Store or Google Play listing before installing if cost matters to you.
  • Content depth: The 60+ figure and the sample recipe names come from the app's own site; the exact current count and full list are best confirmed in the app.
  • Contact: The site lists AwardSense, LLC (San Jose, CA) as the operator, with a contact form for questions.
