WholeBean turns every bag of coffee you discover into something you understand. Point your camera at a label, and WholeBean reads it, identifies the bean, and tells you its story—where it's from, how it's roasted, what it tastes like, and how to brew it best. SCAN ANY BAG Snap a photo of a coffee bag or label. WholeBean reads the text on-device and identifies the roaster and bean, only confirming a match when it's confident—so you can trust what you see. KNOW YOUR COFFEE Every bean gets a rich profile: • A clear, AI-written summary of what makes it special • Origin mapped visually, with process and varietal • A roast meter from light to dark • A flavor wheel showing the families it spans • A recommended brew method tuned to the bean BUILD YOUR COLLECTION Save the coffees you love and record how you enjoyed them—your tasting notes, the brew, and the cafe or shop where you found it, pinned on a map. DISCOVER YOUR TASTE The more you save, the more WholeBean learns.
