If you’re a coffee enthusiast who also loves the command line, I’ve got something special for you.
Meet MyCoffee, a simple yet precise command-line tool designed to help you brew coffee like a pro.
What Is MyCoffee?

Whether you’re using a French press, pour-over, Aeropress, or espresso machine, MyCoffee ensures your brew stays balanced and delicious every time.
Why I Built It
As a developer and coffee lover, I often found myself switching between ratio charts, calculators, and apps just to figure out how much coffee and water I needed for a specific brew.
I thought, Why not bring it all to the terminal?
After all, it’s where we spend most of our time anyway!
