Beans. Coffee&Roasters, a specialty coffee brand headquartered in Kobe, Japan (Location: Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, Representative: Sho Sakamoto), has released its original app, "Coffee Palette," which features a record of consumed coffee and an AI preference analysis function, for free on the App Store and Google Play.

Background of Development

In the specialty coffee industry, there are constant voices saying, "I don't know my preferences," or "I don't know what to order when I look at the menu." Coffee is a category with many variables such as bean type, origin, processing method, and roast level, making it difficult for consumers to articulate their preferences. Beans. designed an experience for this challenge where "preferences naturally become visible as records of consumed coffee accumulate."

Features of Coffee Palette

1 Recording is completed just by photographing the package

When you photograph something with coffee information, such as the product package, the AI automatically reads information such as origin, bean type, and roast level, and registers it as a log. It saves the effort of text input, and feedback can also be entered via voice.

2 AI learns preferences and generates a "Preference Chart"

As evaluations of consumed coffee accumulate, the AI analyzes the user's taste tendencies. It visualizes these tendencies as a "Preference Chart" using a radar chart based on five axes: acidity, bitterness, body, sweetness, and aroma, and diagnoses the taste type. By showing (or communicating) your chart when purchasing coffee, you can choose coffee that suits you.

3 Coffee recommendations and coupon benefits based on preferences

Based on preference data, the app suggests the optimal coffee to drink next. Additionally, it includes a system to earn coupons usable at Beans. Coffee&Roasters based on the number of coffee logs registered. The more you drink coffee and record it, the more affordably you can purchase coffee.
