After a few months to build and testing, we’re thrilled to announce today that Beanted is now available for all iOS users.

Introduction

In early 2021, we started a conversation with Rodolphe about how hard it is to find good coffee and quickly concluded that there was nothing like Untappd or Vivino but for coffee, to review, or to get reviews about coffees.

We then started our journey with a prototype able to scan a coffee bag and display information about it. We showed it to the industry and drinkers at the Paris Café Festival in October 2021 and received good feedback.

Following that, we built a beta application version that we launched at the beginning of 2022. And after that, we released our first version just in time for the last Paris Café Festival, in May 2022.

For now, in the application for all users, you can find your next coffee based on your personal preferences, discover coffee, get information about coffee, get reviews and when you drink a coffee, Check-In and share your feeling.

Vision

We started Beanted after identifying multiple issues based on our personal experiences and interactions with the coffee industry:

  • Choosing good coffee is intimidating and complicated.
  • When asked about coffee you like it’s hard to articulate your taste preferences.
  • The coffee industry doesn’t know what’s working as they don’t collect feedback from customers.

We’ve built Beanted to solve these problems:

  • Help consumers find the right coffee for them.
  • Connect the coffee industry with coffee drinkers.

Our vision goes far beyond that. We want to create the biggest community of coffee drinkers around a very large database of coffees and provide services around coffee.

What’s next

Today we’re releasing Beanted: any iOS users can register (later for Android). Any roaster in all countries can join our database and start to add existing or upcoming coffees.

At this time, we have already +500 roasters for +350 coffees. On the usage plan, we reached the 250th user for a total of +700 Check-Ins.

Our team is still very small, with only Rodolphe and myself as co-founders. That said, we have got the ambition to grow at a fast pace in the coming months with a particular focus on the roaster features.
