Find great coffee...
Free · Designed for iPad
You don't know where good coffee is; we do.
What does this app do?
Based on your location or an entered location, it will find all the coffee shops around you, rank them, and then list them out for you. It filters them based on a criteria with the goal of only showing you "specialty" coffee shops. When you just Google "coffee shops," you get everything bad coffee shops, chains, and it is hard to see what is actually good. This app is for coffee snobs.
The problem I want to solve with this app.
I am passionate about coffee, so when I travel, I like to find great local coffee spots. Being in a new place, I would have to use Google and look for coffee shops. This was ok, but Google and I disagree on what good coffee is. So I would have to spend time sifting through results, finding ones that looked good, and then see where they were located and how far from me they were. Instead of doing all of this, I wanted an app that I could open and instantly see where good coffee shops are and have it be based on objective reasoning, not what others thought, as they may have a different opinion of good coffee.
How does the app solve this problem?
The app has an algorithm that uses your location and searches the web for coffee shops in your area (it does not have a single data source). It then lists the coffee shops in the app and plots them on a map so that you can see where they are in relation to you. It also assigns a "snob score" to each coffee shop that you can then filter on. So now you can decide how much of a snob you want to be, filter based on that, and then see what is close by. Could you do all of this with Google? Yes. Not saying I invented the wheel here. But this takes the work out of it, and for someone who loves coffee, having an almost instant and reliable way to find the best coffee around is huge!
Improvements
- added a "buy me coffee" option: This helps me fund the project without charging money or showing ads. But don't worry, this is buried under the feedback button at the top of the main page. So not too needy :)
