Frequently Asked Questions

Create an account using Google, Apple, or email, then start logging coffees you have tried using the + button. Once you have logged at least 5 coffees with ratings, your palate profile and insight cards will generate automatically.

Tap the + button from any screen. Enter the coffee name, roaster, origin, variety, processing method, drying method, bag size, price, and your personal rating (0–5 in 0.25 steps). Tasting notes and SCA score are optional. A live €/kg value preview updates as you enter price and weight.

Your palate profile is generated from regression analysis of your logged coffees. It identifies which variables — variety, origin, process, drying method — best explain your ratings, and ranks them by explanatory power. The result is a palate fingerprint: what actually drives your scores, not what you think drives them.

Six cards generated automatically from your data: Variety, Origin, Process, Drying, Value Analysis, and What You Avoid. Each shows a data-driven strapline — tap any card to see the full ranked breakdown behind it.

Daily Driver ranks your qualifying coffees (rated 4.0★ or above) by value score (€/★ — lowest cost per point of quality). Special Occasion ranks them by raw rating descending. Both are calculated from your own collection, not from external reviews.

Coffees rated below 4.0★ are tracked separately. They are excluded from value rankings and recommendations, but they still contribute to your palate analysis — patterns in what you don't like are as informative as patterns in what you do.

Explore is a reference encyclopedia of 52 specialty coffee terms across five dimensions: Variety, Origin, Process, Drying, and Concept. Each entry connects agronomy, economics, and flavour — and where relevant, links your personal data to the term. It is designed to make the insight cards legible, not to be the primary product.
