Your beans in. Recommendations out.

Upload your coffee catalog as a CSV. The Curato engine normalizes every bag into structured attributes — origin, process, roast level, flavor notes, brew-method compatibility. Then it builds a similarity engine that delivers instant, explainable recommendations.

Every set includes 4 close matches and 1 wild card — same roast level, different origin or process, introducing the buyer to a new growing region. Expands palates. Drives discovery. Turns curious browsers into repeat buyers.

4+1 Recommendation Engine

Content-based filtering on structured attributes. No purchase history required. Works from day one with your catalog.

All Tiers
02

Roast Level Matching

Light-roast buyers rarely want dark. Curato treats roast as a near-dealbreaker, the same way a barista would — never recommends a dark French roast to a light-roast Ethiopia drinker.

03

Brew Method Compatibility

Espresso-optimized beans surface first for espresso buyers; pour-over notes surface for the V60 crowd. Soft filter, not a wall — cross-method picks still appear when the flavor profile lines up.

04

New Coffee Drinker Mode

First-time buyers answer 4 simple questions (flavor, roast comfort, brew method, budget) and get personalized starter picks — with zero jargon, never condescending.

Kiosk + Suite
05

Kiosk / Tablet Mode

Progressive Web App with offline support, touch-optimized UI, idle screen, and orientation-aware layout. Sits next to the bar or on the retail counter.

Full Suite

Subscription Flag Surface

When a buyer indicates subscription interest, compatible bags are flagged prominently. Coffee is the highest-subscription retail category outside software.

One price. Yours forever.

Final pricing locks at launch. Early access requests get first dibs and the launch rate.

Your customers want guidance,
not guesswork

The menu is intimidating, the vocabulary is foreign, and staff can't explain every origin at every hour. Curato gives any roaster a guided discovery tool that converts curious browsers into repeat buyers.

Frequently asked

What is the Gemini API key and does it cost anything?

Curato Coffee uses Google's Gemini AI to process your catalog into structured data. You get a free API key at aistudio.google.com in about 30 seconds. The free tier covers everything Curato needs, even for catalogs with 2,000+ SKUs. The key is yours permanently and costs nothing.

How long does setup take?

Most retailers are up and running in under an hour. Get your Gemini key, upload your catalog CSV, click Process, configure your brand colors, and embed the widget. The included setup wizard walks through every step.

How big can my catalog be?

Curato handles catalogs of any size. AI processing runs in batches during setup — a 500-product catalog takes about 5 minutes. Once processed, all recommendations are instant from a local database with zero API calls.

Does the kiosk work offline?

Yes. The Kiosk and Full Suite tiers include a Progressive Web App with service worker caching. Once your catalog is loaded, the kiosk works without an internet connection.

Do I need technical skills?

Basic comfort with running commands in a terminal is helpful. The setup wizard handles most of the configuration through a browser interface. If you can copy-paste a script tag into your website, you can embed the widget.

What happens after I buy?

You receive an email with a download link within minutes. The ZIP contains everything: the engine, widget files, setup wizard, and a sample catalog. Install, configure, and go.
