Under the hood

Community consensus

Real people log real brews

Every logged brew — origin, method, grind, temp, ratio, and a rating — goes into the community knowledge base. Roaster guides and specialty coffee sources seed the baseline.

Consensus over averages

When you ask for a recommendation, Brew Guide computes a weighted consensus across matching brews — favouring higher-rated, field-confident entries. Confidence tiers (high / medium / low) tell you how much data exists.

Technique from the method

Every brewing method ships with method-scoped technique data: bloom timing, pour stages, preinfusion, steep parameters. The AI surfaces what's relevant to your cup.

Any AI can ask

Everything is exposed over the Model Context Protocol. Claude, Cursor, Hermes — any MCP-capable agent can query Brew Guide mid-conversation, no config beyond one URL.

Connect your AI assistant

One line. Any AI. Every brew question answered.

Brew Guide exposes a public MCP endpoint — no auth required. Connect it once and any agent you use can answer brew questions from your community's real experience.

On the horizon

The community brain keeps growing

🌱

Narrative extraction

LLM-powered parsing of roaster blog posts and forum threads into structured brew data — turning the internet's collective wisdom into searchable parameters.

🎯

Semantic origin matching

Fuzzy similarity search so "Yirgacheffe natural process" finds what "Ethiopian light" knows — and builds richer regional taste profiles over time.

📖

Opt-in brew narratives

Tasting note synthesis — the community's collective language around a cup, not just the numbers. "Tastes like blueberry jam on a Tuesday morning" as a data point.

📡

Reddit & forum pipeline

r/Coffee, Home-Barista, and specialty forums as a live feed of community brew experiments — continuously updating the consensus as techniques evolve.
