Pourbook

Product specificity and generic signals · F

Both captures show a concrete House filter recipe with 1:16 ratio, 240 g water and timed pours. The opening headline obscures the specific calculation task, and the coffee dose result is unreadable. (/)

Visual specificity before deductions C. Weighted design base C. Distinct signal deductions 6.

Product specificity supplies 55% of the base, and the five visual design dimensions share 45%. Round the base to the nearest letter. Each distinct verified generic signal lowers it by one letter, down to F. Foundations are reported separately. The detector ceiling is F. Vision reviewed 1 of 1 measured routes.

Compared with the 2026 references

• / · The reference makes its object and purchase decision explicit through product views, finish choices, price and stock. Pourbook supplies useful recipe proof but leaves the core dose result unreadable. Commercial grade: F after the four observed signal deductions; specificity carries 55%, with visual foundations sharing 45%. Spree demo · automatic espresso machine

Visual design

Hierarchy

C

At 1440, the oversized hero dominates the recipe; at 390, it pushes the recipe below substantial promotional content. The useful dose result receives less emphasis than Get started. (/)

Typography

B

At both widths, bold recipe naming, aligned quantities and smaller metadata support scanning. The phone headline wraps cleanly. The dose area lacks readable numeric text. (/)

Spacing

B

At 1440, the recipe card has comfortable internal spacing. At 390, margins narrow while the chart, schedule and footer remain contained and distinct. (/)

Copy and labels

C

House filter, Bloom, First pour and Save recipe are specific at both widths. Transform your coffee experience, ultimate all-in-one solution and Get started fail to explain dose calculation or the next destination. (/)

Imagery

N/A

This recipe task requires no photograph or illustration. Both widths provide a labeled pour-profile chart as functional product information.

Foundations · B

Contrast, responsive layout and keyboard reach are sampled separately. The foundations grade is the lowest verified result in this group.

Color contrast

B

Checked 10 solid-background text samples across the captured views. No issue detected by this check.

Responsive layout

A

All sampled viewports fit without horizontal overflow and contained readable text. Verified across 3 measured views.

Keyboard access

A

Tab reached two visibly focused controls and Shift+Tab returned to the first. Verified across 3 measured views.

Fix these first

1. Name the object, action and result in the heading.Product specificity · / · 1440 px
2. Replace the opening gradient with a view of the product doing its work.Product specificity · / · 1440 px
3. Use readable labels and group the steps around their actual task.Product specificity · / · 768 px
4. Give the primary task, supporting information and actions distinct visual roles.Product specificity · / · 768 px
5. Choose an action color grounded in the product and separate it from status colors.Product specificity · / · 1440 px
