Coffeenatic: Social coffee

Internet — Tags: , , — Joe Anderson @ 8:29 pm Friday 7 March 2008

Coffeenatic is a site to share reviews on certain types of coffee in addition to sharing coffee recipes. I love niche social sites like this because they have a clear purpose and act not only as a socialising tool but as a resource.

Unusually for an Englishman, I am not a huge fan of tea (with the exception of roobios tea, thanks Danette!) and would much rather consume coffee (probably due to its higher caffeine content!)!

Coffeenatic allows users to submit reviews of certain brands of coffees in addition to writing recipes to make coffee. Whilst the amount of data they possess is small at the moment, I really hope it expands because it is wonderfully organised. Reviews for coffee are split up into brands, which type of bean was used, the type of coffee which it is, ratings, prices and where they that coffee is grown; recipes are categorised under the ingredients and complexity involved.

Adding a review or recipe is extremely simple: providing you have an account, all you have to do is click ‘Add a coffee’ or ‘Add a recipe’ and fill in a form (which possesses many fields but they are easy enough to complete).

The site possesses a fairly typical ‘Web 2.0′ design but colours are tastefully picked to suit the nature of the website.

Coffee addicts: give this site a go and make your coffee recipes public knowledge (it’s like open-source cola, just for coffee! :P). Friend me if you wish.
