Behind The Brew Ledger

Hi, I'm Charlie!

I started my YouTube channel, Home Cafe by Charlie, about 8 years ago and make videos on espresso, latte art, and coffee gear to help people make better drinks at home.

Every espresso lover knows the pain of dialing in repeatedly. What should be quick turns into a frustrating trial and error process.

Trying to remember settings for multiple beans is a struggle, especially with apps that are too complicated or notebooks that take time to set up.

That’s why I created The Brew Ledger. This simple journal makes it easy to track your espresso recipes, favorite beans, and tasting notes.

It’s already helping coffee lovers recreate their best shots and sharpen their espresso game.

I’d love for you to give it a try.
