Hi Product Hunt, I'm Max from Berlin, a coffee enthusiast who loves trying new filter coffees. My favorites right now: washed Colombians from La Cabra, DAK and Calendar.
Two things kept bugging me. At home, I struggled to get the recipe right for every new bag. And when I went to a new café, too often there was no pour over, at best a batch brew. What I really wanted to know before I went: which roaster is this café pouring?
So I built Cupd.
Cupd shows what's in a café's hopper right now and scores the café against your taste: your favorite roasters, processing, brewing methods, origin and flavor notes.
You can filter for cafés with pour over, or filter by roaster to find the cafés that pour it. Cafés keep their hopper up to date, and guests can report the bag they see. A report counts once a second guest confirms it.
At home, snap a photo of your bag and the AI Brew Assistant writes a recipe with the grind setting for your grinder. Guided Brew walks you through it with a timer. If the cup isn't right yet, tell the assistant what to change, like "less acidic".
What's live today: the web app at my.cupd.app, with specialty cafés in 14 European cities. It's free with no subscription, and every month includes 4 bag scans and 12 AI Brew Assistant requests. You can browse without an account.
The iPhone app is in a private beta.
I'd love your feedback: Which city should come next? Which roasters do you look for when you travel? And what would make you trust a café score?
Quick update from the Cupd team, and thanks for the first upvote! 🙏
You can now use a lot of Cupd without an account. On my.cupd.app, browse the map, search, café and roaster pages, answer the First Sip taste questions, and use Brew Lab as a guest: add your coffees, save recipes and log brews. A free account adds the rest, like ratings, favorites and the AI features.
What's new for coffee lovers

• About 70 more cafés on the map, plus Uncharted, which shows where places where cafés are still missing. So you guys can help complete and improve the experience for all others (more points for you)
• my.cupd.app works offline and saves your brews until you're back online
For café owners
• Every feature is free during the test phase
• "How guests find you" shows the path from seen to opened to acted
Next: the iOS app is coming to the App Store very soon, and Android is in preparation.
