Personal coffee taste intelligence

The best‑rated coffee isn’t the best coffee for you.

Arosti learns your palate from the coffees you rate — then predicts how well any bag on the shelf fits you, and explains why. Scan it. See your match. It gets smarter with every cup.

Now in private beta on iPhone.

How Arosti works

From shelf doubt to a confident yes.

Standing in the aisle with an unfamiliar bag is the moment Arosti is built for.

Scan

Point your camera at any bag — grocery aisle, café shelf, or a gift. Arosti reads the label and identifies the coffee.

Match

You get a plain‑language verdict, from Excellent match to Weak match, with a predicted fit and honest confidence — never more precision than the evidence supports.

Understand

Every match explains itself: why it fits, what to watch out for, and how it compares to coffees you already love.

Learn

Rate what you try. Your taste model sharpens with every cup — and Arosti remembers every coffee, where you found it, and what you paid.

The taste model

Your palate, mapped in seven dimensions.

Every coffee gets a sensory fingerprint. So do you. A match is how closely they agree — and where they don’t.

BODY BRIGHT SWEET SMOOTH NUTTY FRUIT ROAST
Your tasteThis coffee
  • BodyWeight, fullness, and mouthfeel in the cup.
  • BrightAcidity, liveliness, and high‑toned character.
  • SweetNatural sweetness and the balance it brings.
  • SmoothLow harshness — the easy‑drinking quality.
  • NuttyThe comfort family: nuts, cocoa, chocolate, caramel.
  • FruitBerry, stone fruit, citrus, and floral aromatics.
  • RoastRoast intensity, from light and delicate to dark and smoky.

Taste isn’t linear. You might love fruit‑forward coffees — except when brightness runs high and body runs light. Arosti learns thresholds, exceptions, and dealbreakers, not just averages. The radar is how it explains itself; the model underneath is richer.

Personal, not popular

One palate. Five verdicts.

The same five bags, predicted for one drinker — someone who loves body, nutty‑cocoa depth, and gentler brightness. Your shelf would rank differently. That’s the point.

Excellent match Ember Blend Cinder Ridge · Dark roast

Deep body, cocoa, and roast — squarely in your lane.

93% predicted fit
Very good match Stonegrind Old Mill Coffee Co. · Medium–dark

Nearly your profile, with a touch more roast edge.

87% predicted fit
Good match Kivu Highlands Meridian Coffee Works · Medium

Balanced and smooth; a little brighter than usual.

76% predicted fit
Mixed match Valle Dulce Alma & Sol · Medium–light honey

Honey sweetness helps — but it runs light for you.

62% predicted fit
Weak match Cloud Forest Terra Alta · Light roast natural

Far brighter and lighter than coffees you rate highly.

44% predicted fit

And it scales: one photo of a shelf can rank every bag on it by your taste.

Trust

Built to be believed.

A prediction you can’t interrogate is just a number. Arosti is designed so you can see the reasoning — and so nothing can quietly bend it.

Every match explains itself

Why it fits, what might not, and which of your own ratings the prediction leans on — anchored in coffees you already know.

Confidence is calibrated

Match and confidence are separate. Sparse evidence gets cautious language, not false precision — the score never claims more than the evidence supports.

Recommendations are never for sale

If sponsored content ever appears, it is clearly labeled. Commercial incentives never touch your match scores or your rankings. That is a product guarantee.

Your journal is yours

Ratings, notes, and scans are private by design, synced to your account, and deletable — completely, instantly — from inside the app.

For roasters, retailers & affiliate partners

Reach the drinkers who’ll actually love your coffee.

Arosti matches people to coffees by taste, not ad spend. For the right coffee and the right drinker, that beats any banner.

Roasters

Be recommended accurately

Supply availability and product imagery and Arosti represents your coffees well — “stocked near you” for shelf presence, “ships to you” for direct orders. Missing data never punishes a coffee; good data helps it reach the right palate.

Retailers

Confidence at the shelf

People scan in your aisles at the exact moment of decision. Arosti turns hesitation into a confident purchase — and unfamiliar SKUs into matched discoveries instead of passed‑over risks.

Affiliate programs

Clean, disclosed, honest

Buy links send buyers straight to the seller. Affiliate links are always labeled, and they never influence a match score or a ranking — trust in the match is the entire product.
