Turning information into insight
We operate on a basic principle – a coffee’s price should be determined by its value.
Nothing can ever replace the experience of tasting a fine coffee, but experienced buyers know that a coffee’s worth is informed by more than taste alone. Experienced sellers also know how challenging it can be to generate full value for their product.
There is an enormous amount of objective information that surrounds the way coffee is evaluated and traded. Coffeeseed collects that information, verifies it, and analyzes it to provide holistic insights into the value of the coffees on our platform.
Through a portfolio of coffee-centric technologies and services, our goal is to empower our partners with the most productive, informed, and reliable environment in which to trade specialty coffee.
Today’s specialty coffee customers want proof:
Proof their coffee was ethically sourced
Proof the farmer was paid a fair price
Proof their coffee satisfies the claims
Proof that sample quality equals shipped quality
An integrated platform with a portfolio of coffee trading tools
Image analysis to determine a coffee’s physical properties
Biometric payment verification for greater security
Objective product verification of each bean
Aggregated order management to improve efficiency
Finance options to unlock capital tied up in existing coffee payment structures
See Coffee Like Never Before
Coffeeseed is applying its imaging technology in three areas
Verification and traceability as coffee moves from field to cup
Objective/more accurate coffee quality determination
New product development
Coffeeseed is bringing the newest developments in hyperspectral image analysis and machine vision to specialty coffee for a single purpose: generation of objective data.
Coffeeseed’s patent pending image technology enables the customer to verify individual beans or groups of beans and determine what (if anything) has changed with those beans between farm and roastery.
Nothing can ever replace the value of the human senses. However, part of specialty coffee’s future is the future of data. Generating that data and working with customers on how best to use it is the purpose behind Coffeeseed’s imaging tools.
