Siip's New App Learns Your Coffee Taste So You Don't Have To

San Francisco – October 01, 2026 -- Siip Coffee has launched a free app and personalized subscription designed to match coffee drinkers with beans suited to their actual taste, not just what they think they like.

The app builds a "Taste Profile" for each user by tracking every coffee they rate, whether from their subscription, a cafe, or a grocery shelf. Users scan a bag and answer one question -- "How was this coffee?" -- and that rating refines future picks.

Users often misjudge their own preferences, Siip's data shows

In onboarding surveys, Siip users most frequently say they prefer chocolate and nutty flavors, but across tens of thousands of ratings, those flavors are consistently outperformed by less familiar categories like floral and berry notes. Roast preference shows a similar gap: six in ten users say they like medium roast, yet they rate lighter roasts higher.
