What a curator is
An expert with a name, not a crowd with an average.
-
Who curates
Coffee professionals — roasters, buyers, Q Graders, cuppers, café operators. People who know what to look for in a coffee program.
-
What you do
Add and recommend cafés worth the trip. Each pick carries your name — an informed professional opinion, not a popularity contest.
-
Judge the coffee
You vouch for how a place sources, roasts and brews — never wifi, ambiance or price. Only what's in the cup.
-
Expert-only, on purpose
Everyone else just browses and saves. Curating is reserved for verified professionals — that's the whole point of Vetted.
