THE OPEN DECK

Building a Platform for
Coffee Curiosity.

Here's why Postbrew exists, where we stand, and where we're going: starting with coffee and your experiments.

01_THE_PROBLEM

The Missing Layer

Coffee experimentation is fragmented. Coffee lovers share latte art on Instagram and debate methods on Reddit, but the iterative process itself has nowhere to live.

Curiosity → Experimentation → Shared Learning

When you finally dial in that perfect V60 recipe after 50 attempts, that hard-won knowledge shouldn't just disappear into a notebook or a buried comment thread.

02_WHY_COFFEE

The Perfect Sandbox

Repeatable

Daily iteration frequency = rich data.

Data-Rich

Grind, temp, time: all trackable.

Community

Nerds love sharing their process.

Clear Wedge

Focused enough to validate.

03_STATUS

Radical Honesty

const demos = 1;
// Retention is our biggest challenge.
// Most users explore once and leave.

What We Know So Far:

  • Too many features without cohesion creates confusion. We're simplifying.

  • We need content and community from day one, not just tools.

Not Journaling. Not Social Media.

Something in between.

05_ROADMAP

System Upgrade Path

Now (2025)

  • [OK] Refining coffee journaling experience
  • [OK] Running origin series experiments
  • [OK] Single-feature demo build

Next (2026)

  • [..] Deeper solo experimentation tools
  • [..] Roaster & educator partnerships
  • [..] Mobile companion app

The Philosophy

We don't chase engagement. We build for attention, reflection, and ritual.
No likes. No follows. Just you, your experiments, and your coffee journey.
