Our product and app are designed to simplify the cupping process for both coffee enthusiasts and beginners. The machine automates cupping, enabling users to evaluate up to three different coffee beans effortlessly. Each bean goes through four stages: smelling the ground coffee, adding hot water and evaluating the aroma, tasting the hot brew, and tasting the cooled coffee. This structured approach makes cupping accessible and engaging. The app complements the machine by allowing users to visualize the aromas and flavors they experience through color selection, making it intuitive to understand coffee’s diverse characteristics. After completing the cupping process for all three beans, users can select their favorite, and the official tasting notes for that bean are revealed. Additionally, the app includes a community feature where users can share their cupping results and compare them with others, creating an interactive platform for both coffee lovers and beginners to connect and discuss their experiences. By combining automation with personalization, our product and app elevate the cupping experience, making it enjoyable, intuitive, and rewarding for all users.
