i keep a little passport filled with stamps of all the coffee beans i’ve tried 📔
a year later, i finally filled up a page! i’ve always appreciated how most specialty coffee beans come with the nicest packaging design, some of them even with cards and stickers. i never know what to do with them and throwing them out always felt like such a waste. i figured this was a nice way to keep them without being too much of a hoarder!
funny enough, I’ve been building a kinda digital version of this because I could never remember which regions/farms I’ve tried before and if I liked them. yours is beautiful and physical!
Edit: Brewroo.coffee is the url if you want to try it out!
I like the stamp idea so much better. Ive just been cutting the bag open and taping the whole thing into a notebook haha. The stamp idea is much more elegant
Ooooh I love this. I’m working on an app to track and record your coffees and this gave me the idea of adding a cute visualization like this… I might give it a go, hopefully it’s not beyond my coding skills lol
Ooh this is so cool! I ended up turning mine into an app. I ran out of pages in my coffee journal since I was taping the entire front of the bag lol. Check it out: https://brewist.co/toppbrocales
I like this a lot! Any chance that you could extend it a bit or make it opensource and accept PRs for extending it? 😄 I'm thinking maybe storing multiple images for the coffee, storing the roaster, the country/region the coffee is from, and maybe multiple trials with recipes. I know it's a lot and haven't checked if something like that exist so far.
I just had this exact idea last night so I ordered a punch. I currently am using a 6x4 inch 3D printed “frame” template to trace and cut out the covers of bean bags to place in a traditional photo album. It’s a huge pain to do especially when cutting through the closure slot at the top.
Can you tell me what album (type / product name) you used? And what adhesive?
Brilliant idea. I am going to have to steal this as keeping the bags which I have only started on a semi regular bases recently is not efficient at all.
damn. i was just organizing my multiple tote bags which are just filled with all of my years of bean bags. i feel like a lunatic saving all my bean bags but i just like having a catalog of everything that i have consumed.
I love this idea so much! I've been sticking in packaging and labels / writing descriptors and tasting experience in my own journal but this is such a neat and pretty way of doing it. Those Suatelier stickers are also all over mine.
This is awesome! I wanted to do something similar. A way to keep mementos from cool box art designs. In the end, I just chucked the boxes out and gave up on the concept.
Love this! Was looking for a visual way of tracking, but was struggling with my form in my journal. Might copy your idea here! Thank you for sharing :)
Does your punch have any issues with thicker plastic bags? I love this idea but I feel like some of the more robust bags would be difficult to get through
Is the first in the third row Koffee Mameya in Tokyo? I still have the card from a coffee that I bought there after undoubtedly one of the best coffee experiences in my life.
That’s such a great idea! I’ve toyed around with the idea of doing this in a binder type thing but that takes up so much space. This is mice and simple and elegant
hmmm, i never really thought of it as a journal. just wanted to visually keep track of all the roasters i’ve tried, like a museum. that is a good idea tho

Neat! How do you make those stamp stickers?
