BestShots.mp4
Your Best Shots is a website designed to help you dial in your morning (or afternoon, or night) espresso pulls. Just create an account, add your espresso machine, grinder, and beans to your personal dashboard, and start building your history of shots. By keeping track of things like how your grind settings impacts the resulting espresso, you'll have a better idea of how to achieve your perfect pull.
- Users can:
- Sign up and sign in
- Add and remove espresso machines, grinders, beans, and shots to and from their accounts
- Edit their shots
- Submit new machines, grinders, and beans to be considered for addition to the public pool
- Review their shot history
- See shots pulled by other users
- Admins can:
- Edit (make public) or delete (remove from review queue) user-submitted machines, grinders, and beans
- Everyone can:
- Enjoy the dark mode toggle! (Contrast is still a bit wonky on dark mode)
