Help & FAQ
Everything about logging coffee, wine, whisky, beer, tea and beauty with Loggie.
Loggie is a personal taste-tracking app for iOS. It lets you log coffee, wine, whisky, beer, tea, skincare and beauty products with tasting notes, ratings, photos and contextual prompts. Over time, Loggie builds a profile of your taste — what you love, where you are in your journey, and what to try next.
Yes. The core experience — logging items, rating them, adding notes and photos, following others — is completely free. Loggie Pro ($3.99/month or $24.99/year) unlocks additional features including full taste analytics, Taste DNA, a second photo per log, unlimited collections, CSV export, PDF taste profile, and dark mode.
Currently you can log Coffee, Wine, Whisky, Beer, Tea, Skincare, Beauty, Fragrance, Snacks and Supplements. Each category has its own tailored prompts — for example, coffee asks about brew method, origin and flavour notes; wine asks about grape, region and style; skincare asks about skin feel and effects.
Loggie is currently available on iOS. Android is planned for a future release.
When you log a coffee in Loggie, you're guided through brew method, origin, roast level, process and flavour notes. For flavour, use the coffee flavour wheel as a guide — start broad (fruity, sweet, roasted) and get more specific (stone fruit, caramel, dark chocolate). Rate the cup out of five and add any free-text notes.
Single origin coffee comes from one specific farm, cooperative or region, giving it a distinct flavour profile tied to that terroir. Blends combine beans from multiple origins to create a consistent, balanced flavour profile year-round. Loggie's coffee prompts help you record and compare both.
Coffee process refers to how the coffee cherry is treated after picking. Natural (dry) process tends to produce fruity, wine-like flavours. Washed (wet) process produces cleaner, brighter, more acidic cups. Honey process sits in between. Logging the process in Loggie helps you identify which you prefer.
In the Loggie log form, expand the "Brewing recipe" section to record grind setting, dose (grams in), brew time, and yield (grams out). Over time your profile shows your average recipe stats so you can identify what settings produce your best cups.
Cupping is a standardised method of evaluating coffee developed by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA). Coffees are scored out of 100, with specialty grade starting at 80. In Loggie, your star rating (1–5) is your personal score. Over time your Taste DNA reveals whether you tend to rate quality-focused or accessible coffees higher.
If your Loggie flavour profile leans fruity, try coffees from Ethiopia (particularly Yirgacheffe and Guji), Kenya (bright berry and citrus), or Burundi. Natural process coffees from any origin also tend to amplify fruit notes. Your Loggie recommendations section suggests origins based on your logged preferences.
Download Loggie and create an account. Each time you open a bottle, tap "Log an item", select Wine, and fill in the grape variety, region, producer and vintage if you know them. Rate the wine and add tasting notes. Even logging just the name and a star rating builds a useful record over time.
Great wine notes cover appearance (colour, clarity), nose (the aromas — fruit, earth, oak, spice), palate (what you taste — acidity, tannin, body, fruit, finish) and your overall impression. Loggie's wine prompts guide you through style, region and character so you don't need to remember what to include.
Natural wine is made with minimal intervention — organic or biodynamic grapes, wild yeast fermentation, no or minimal added sulphites, and no fining agents. They're often cloudy, funky and unpredictable. Loggie's wine style tags include "Natural / Low-intervention" so you can track your natural wine journey.
This is exactly what Loggie is for. Log the wine immediately while you can still taste it — even a quick note and rating takes 30 seconds. Adding a photo of the label makes it instantly searchable later. Your logged wine history lives in My Log, organised by date, with full search.
Old World wines come from Europe's traditional wine regions (France, Italy, Spain, Germany) and tend to be more restrained, earthy and terroir-driven. New World wines come from the Americas, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa and tend to be more fruit-forward and approachable. Loggie tracks your origin preferences so you can see which style you gravitate toward.
When logging whisky in Loggie, you're prompted for region (Islay, Speyside, Highlands, Lowlands, Campbeltown, Irish, American, Japanese etc.), age statement, cask type and flavour character. Nose the whisky before tasting — you'll catch aromas that disappear on the palate. Add a splash of water and re-nose for more complexity.
Single malt Scotch is made from 100% malted barley at a single distillery. Blended Scotch combines malt whiskies from multiple distilleries with grain whisky. Single malts tend to showcase a distillery's unique character; blends are designed for consistency and approachability. Both are worth logging.
Islay is known for peaty, medicinal, coastal whiskies (Laphroaig, Ardbeg). Speyside produces elegant, fruity, often sherried expressions (Glenfiddich, Macallan). Highlands are diverse — from light and floral to rich and robust. Lowlands are typically lighter and easy-drinking. Campbeltown is earthy and briny. Log enough whiskies in Loggie and your taste data will reveal which region suits you.
Loggie's Beer category lets you log each beer with style, brewery, flavour character and rating. Snap a photo of the can or tap badge. Over time your My Log becomes a personal record of every beer you've tried — useful for finding that beer you loved three years ago or tracking your craft beer journey.
You can log any beer style in Loggie — IPAs, stouts, lagers, wheat beers, sours, lambics, porters, pale ales, amber ales, saisons, barleywines and more. The flavour prompts adapt to help you capture what makes each style distinct.
IBU stands for International Bitterness Units — a measure of the bitterness compounds in beer. Lagers might be 5–15 IBU; pale ales 30–50; IPAs 60–100+. Higher doesn't always mean more perceived bitterness, as sweetness and body balance it. Your Loggie flavour profile over time shows whether you prefer bitter or malt-forward beers.
In Loggie, select Tea and log the type (green, white, oolong, black, pu-erh, herbal), origin, grade and brewing parameters if you know them. Flavour prompts cover floral, vegetal, earthy, fruity and roasted notes. Over multiple logs your tea profile reveals your preferences across the spectrum from delicate greens to aged pu-erhs.
All true tea comes from Camellia sinensis. Green tea is unoxidised — grassy, vegetal, fresh. White tea is minimally processed — delicate and floral. Oolong is partially oxidised — ranging from light and floral to dark and roasted. Black tea is fully oxidised — robust and malty. Pu-erh is fermented — earthy and complex. Herbal "teas" are infusions of other plants.
When you log a skincare product in Loggie, you're prompted for skin feel, effects (hydration, brightening, barrier repair etc.), finish and brand heritage. Add a rating and notes about how your skin responded. Logging consistently — even briefly — builds a data-driven picture of what your skin actually responds to, not just what you hope it will.
A beauty log helps you identify patterns — which ingredients cause reactions, which products genuinely improved your skin over time, which brands suit your skin type. Without logging, it's easy to re-buy products that didn't work or forget the gem that transformed your skin three years ago. Loggie's beauty analytics surface your Skin Feel Profile, Effect Cloud and brand preferences.
Key hydrating ingredients include hyaluronic acid (draws water into skin), glycerin (a classic humectant), niacinamide (strengthens barrier), ceramides (replenish lipid barrier), and squalane (lightweight moisturiser). If your Loggie effect profile shows "Hydration" as a top value, your taste data already confirms these ingredients work for you.
Log every product you use in your routine — morning and evening. Rate each one after a few weeks of consistent use. Over time Loggie's analytics will show which product types (serums, toners, moisturisers) you consistently rate highly and which are filler. The data removes the guesswork from routine editing.
