Chat with your personal coffee expert for recommendations and advice.

Last updated March 19, 2026

Meet the AI Barista

The AI Barista is your personal coffee consultant, powered by AI. Ask it anything about coffee.

What You Can Ask

  • "What coffee should I try today?"
  • "I like fruity, light roasts. Any recommendations?"
  • "What is the difference between a cortado and a flat white?"
  • "Find me a quiet cafe with good WiFi near Eixample"
  • "What brewing method brings out chocolate notes?"

Memory

The AI Barista remembers your preferences across conversations. Tell it once that you prefer oat milk, and it will factor that into every recommendation.

CoffeeDNA Integration

Your CoffeeDNA profile feeds into the AI Barista. It already knows your favorite origins, roast levels, and brewing methods before you ask.

Privacy

AI Barista conversations are processed by Google Gemini. You will see a consent dialog before your first chat. You can disable the AI Barista anytime in your settings.

Limitations

The AI Barista is knowledgeable about coffee but is not perfect. It bases cafe recommendations on data in the CafeRadar database. If a cafe has not been indexed yet, the barista might not know about it.
