About Coffinder
What is Coffinder?
Coffinder is a website (and soon-to-be app) I built to help you find the very best coffee shops. If you need a quiet spot to work, a cozy corner to read, or a lively place to catch up with friends, Coffinder will help you. And on top of that, you can connect with your fellow coffee friends or even meet new people.
My Story
I'm Igor, a 3D artist and digital nomad. Seven years ago, while working as a barista, I had my mentor—I call him "coffee chief." He not only programmed into me a deep love for drinking coffee, but also every step of making a perfect cup. From pouring water for espresso machine before every shot to exact grind that needs to be used for espresso. During that time espresso was my favorite drink, now I'm more a fan of V60.
Anyway, now, seven years later, after moving into a completely new career, I still value good coffee. Though now, as a digital nomad, I'm searching for cafés not only with quality coffee, but also with strong Wi-Fi and a calm atmosphere.
When I started my digital nomad adventure by moving around the world I quickly found out that you can't really trust Google Maps, which is filled with random spots and even worse, fake reviews. That's why, I decided to build Coffinder, that can help you to find great cafés, and if potentially people start adding their favorite cafes, I will have one less thing to stress about when I'm in a new city.
About This Alpha
You're in the open alpha now, with unlimited free access to every feature. I'm shipping updates each week, and your feedback guides what comes next. Invite friends, explore the site, and let me know what you think. Your ideas and bug reports are what help me improve Coffinder.
Premium Features Preview
Later on, I will make some tools premium-only, current and future features such as AI-powered review summaries that collect reviews not only from this website, but also from TripAdvisor and Google Maps (excluding fake reviews). There will also be a Coffee Travel Map to guide you during your vacation, filled with hand-picked spots, gift-worthy beans, and insider tips for every city. And many more to come.
I'm committed to delivering value at a fair price.
Support This Project
If you find this idea inspiring and the website helpful, consider supporting it with a small donation. Coffinder is a passion project I'm building alongside a full-time job, often late at night or on weekends. Your support doesn't just help keep it alive, it gives me space to say "no" to some paid projects and "yes" to spending more time making Coffinder better and faster.
Thank you for being part of this. Seriously, it means a lot!
