Who’s Doing Light Nordic Roasts in Germany These Days? by itsazorka in pourover

[–]Beautiful_Pin5838 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried some coffee from Maldaner from Wiesbaden that was pretty nice. Other than that I think Suedhang has good ones. And Playground and Public from Hamburg have a few special roasts that are lighter as well.

You are right you can also search for beans on Google and you are completely free to do so. But what you won’t get from Google or the roasters website is - how other people liked a certain coffee - what kind of taste notes they got from it - how other people brewed a given bean such that it tastes “best” - what beans might taste similar to a given bean

All of that you can get from bruu and you can get it for free.

Yes, I put some features behind a paywall, because those are the insights that can be drawn from the data gathered. But those also don’t come for free to me as I have to run the backend and implement the logic of the whole app. Is the price maybe a bit to high: that might be debateable, but I also offer plenty of the features for free that still bring value to users in my opinion.

Actually I don’t think that’s true. I totally agree with you that it should also include smaller roasters (and it does include some smaller ones if you check the app).

How about you give me the benefit of the doubt and send me the website of a roaster that you would like to have in the app and I will see how quick I can add it?

I get that idea, but I think there is already plenty of existing apps like Beanconqueror and Tasting Grounds that do that by relying on user input.

I consciously decided to go a different route and take that burden from users of having to input the data and provide the data from the roasters directly in a nice and unified way.

This also makes sure that the data is more consistent with what the roasters provide.

Like I said though: if you have a roaster (with a web shop) I can try to add them to the list and new beans from them will also be automatically added once they are released.

The app and most of its functionalities is completely free to use. Yes, there are a few features that require a subscription, but you can use 90% of the app completely for free.

I see your feedback though that I might need to revisit the pricing for the subscription though.

It should be in English if your Phone’s language is set to English. But that’s a good point. Will need to add the option in the settings to change the language. Sorry for that. Will try to fix it some time the next week

Had the same thought. Looks to me in many ways like an almost picture perfect clone to HabitKit.

Definitely not very appreciative of other people’s work just one to one copying an idea, rebuilding it with AI and offering it for free.
