Dating for people who know their extraction

Your V60 ritual, your single-origin preferences, and your strong opinions about water temperature are not just a morning routine - they are identity. Affinity Atlas captures the full depth of coffee culture.

How it works for coffee people

Powered by Interest Q&A. hierarchical Coffee culture does not live in a single API. Affinity Atlas uses branching questions to capture brew methods, origin preferences, consumption habits, and cafe culture participation.

How into coffee are you? Specialty obsessive / Daily ritual / Casual drinker
Preferred brew methods? V60, AeroPress, espresso, French press, cold brew, moka pot...
Origin preferences? Ethiopian, Colombian, Kenyan, Japanese, no preference...
Roast preference? Light / Medium / Dark / It depends on the bean
Home setup? Grinder + scales + pour-over / Espresso machine / Just a kettle
Cafe culture? Visit specialty cafes weekly / Occasionally / Prefer home brewing
Do you roast your own? Yes / No / Want to start

Niche overlap > mainstream overlap

Both "liking coffee"? That is 80% of the adult population. Both sourcing single-origin Ethiopian naturals and brewing with a Comandante at precisely 94°C? That is a signal.

What gets scored

Brew method overlap - shared methods weighted by niche popularity (V60/AeroPress are nichier than drip)
Origin preferences - both preferring Ethiopian single-origin is a stronger signal than both drinking any coffee
Engagement depth - home setup investment, subscription services, roasting your own beans
Cafe culture - visiting specialty cafes weekly vs never. Shared cafe habits suggest shared social preferences
Knowledge depth - understanding of processing methods (natural, washed, honey) as a niche signal
Shared dislikes - both avoiding dark roasts, both disliking pod coffee. Shared avoidance of mainstream coffee culture is a signal

Example match

"You both brew V60 daily with freshly ground single-origin beans. Shared origin preference: East African naturals. Both visit specialty cafes 2+ times per week. Home setup overlap: both own a Comandante grinder and use scales. Both subscribe to roaster delivery services. Roast preference alignment: both light-to-medium only."

Not "you both drink coffee." The actual method. The actual origins. The actual ritual.

The first date writes itself

Coffee is the most common first date activity on the planet. Finding someone whose coffee identity genuinely aligns with yours means the cafe choice is never a compromise. Two people who both seek out light-roast specialty cafes already have a shared language and a shared Saturday morning.
