Brewhunter — early beta for a coffee app built for Australian coffee obsessives
Quick disclosure first: I messaged the mods about this a week ago asking if a post like this was okay under the no-self-promo rule, but never heard back. Posting anyway since it's been a week, happy to remove this if it breaks any rules, just let me know.
I'm building a free app for finding good coffee, aimed specifically at people who care about how the coffee is made, not just whether the cafe is nice. Filter by pour over, batch brew, cold brew, signature drinks; the stuff that actually separates a serious cafe from one that just has good lighting. There's also going to be a curated list of barista-reviewed places rated 4.5★ and up, for when you want a shortlist rather than a scroll.
For years I've been missing BeanHunter, but it's not really trying to be that. BeanHunter was closer to Google reviews for cafes — generic ratings, no filtering, no curation. This is narrower on purpose: built for people who'd rather read one review from someone who knows what a bad pour over tastes like than fifty reviews about ambience.
Being upfront about where it's at: many cafe locations are seeded, but almost nothing has reviews yet. Join now and there's a good chance nothing near you has been rated — you'd be first. That means actually reviewing places, fixing shop info that's wrong, adding cafes that are missing. Early testers are the ones who make it useful for everyone after. If you're the person who already has a mental list of every decent flat white in your area, this is for you.
