About My Coffee Logger

My Coffee Logger is a comprehensive free progressive web application designed to help coffee enthusiasts track their daily caffeine intake and maintain healthy consumption habits. Whether you drink espresso, cappuccino, latte, americano, cold brew, or any other caffeinated beverage, our app provides detailed tracking and insights to help you understand your caffeine consumption patterns.

The application converts all beverages into standardized cup equivalents (240ml with 95mg caffeine per cup) based on FDA recommendations, making it easy to understand your total daily caffeine intake regardless of which drinks you consume. This standardization helps users maintain healthy limits and avoid excessive caffeine consumption.

Key Features and Benefits

My Coffee Logger offers comprehensive tracking capabilities including photo logging of each drink, GPS-based cafe discovery, consumption statistics and charts, health insights based on FDA guidelines, social features to connect with other coffee lovers, customizable drink presets, offline functionality, and detailed consumption history with search capabilities.

Users can discover local coffee shops on an interactive map, rate venues, add favorite locations, and share their experiences with friends. The app includes a comprehensive database of coffee types with accurate caffeine content information for espresso drinks, brewed coffee, cold brew, tea, energy drinks, and other caffeinated beverages.

Health and Safety Information

According to the FDA, healthy adults should limit caffeine consumption to 400mg per day (approximately 4 standard cups of coffee). My Coffee Logger helps users stay within these guidelines by providing real-time tracking, daily summaries, weekly trends, monthly statistics, and health warnings when approaching or exceeding recommended limits.

The app takes into account factors like gender, weight, and age for personalized caffeine metabolism calculations. This helps provide more accurate recommendations for individual users based on their specific characteristics and health profile.

Coffee Types and Caffeine Content

Different coffee drinks contain varying amounts of caffeine. A regular brewed coffee (240ml) contains approximately 95mg of caffeine, which equals 1 standard cup. A single espresso shot (30ml) contains about 64mg caffeine or 0.67 cups. A double espresso contains 128mg or 1.35 cups. A typical americano (240ml) has 95mg or 1 cup of caffeine.

Milk-based drinks like cappuccinos (240ml) contain around 80mg caffeine (0.84 cups), while lattes can vary from 75mg to 150mg depending on size. Cold brew coffee is particularly high in caffeine, with a 360ml serving containing approximately 200mg or 2.1 cups. Understanding these differences helps users make informed decisions about their caffeine consumption.

Social Features and Community

My Coffee Logger includes robust social networking features that allow users to connect with friends, share their coffee journey, view friends' drink logs, discover popular local cafes, rate and review coffee shops, compare consumption statistics, and participate in the coffee lover community.
