Percolate learns what you actually like in a cup, then points you at bags worth buying. Answer a few questions about how you take your coffee and it builds your Coffee DNA: your roast, the acidity you want, the body you like, the flavors you keep reaching for. From then on the recommendations follow your own taste, bag by bag. What's inside: - Your Coffee DNA, sharpening a little each time you rate a cup - A pick for today matched to your taste, plus one to brew from a bag you already own - Hundreds of real bags from roasters worth knowing, narrowed by roast and flavor - Scan a bag's label with your camera to pull up its profile and where to buy it - A shelf that tracks your bags, from wishlist to finished - Buying takes two taps and hands you to the roaster's own checkout Percolate Pro watches prices for you. Follow the coffees you want and we'll tell you the moment one gets cheaper, so you stop paying full price out of habit. Pro raises your daily scan limit as well. We earn a small commission when you buy through a link. It doesn't change what we recommend or what you pay. You don't need an account to start. Your taste stays on your phone until you decide to sign in. Percolate Pro is an auto-renewable subscription. Pricing: $3.99 per month or $24.99 per year, with a one-time $39 Lifetime unlock also available. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
