With step-by-step guides for everything from your morning latte to espresso-spiked cocktails, Breve dives into the particulars of crafting quality coffee at home.

What we love: Learning how to measure with precision, tamp with just the right force, and froth like a barista using everyday kitchen staples. With its built-in brewing timers and colorful illustrations, Breve has become our go-to for elevating our daily cup.

Quick tip: Recipes have built-in timers. When preparing a French press, for example, start the timer when you begin steeping right from the recipe.

Meet the creator: Natalia Panferova is an indie developer and former member of Apple’s SwiftUI frameworks team. “Online recipes often assume you have specialist equipment. I want to make it easier for people to try café-style drinks with the tools they already own,” she says. “That’s why Breve adapts the recipes, ingredients, quantities, and preparation steps to each person’s setup.”
