# 186 Coffee AI

> Autonomous direct-to-consumer (D2C) commerce platform for independent specialty coffee roasters, eliminating the 30% middleman aggregator tax using Anthropic Claude agentic infrastructure.

186 Coffee AI (`https://186coffee.com`) provides autonomous software agents that replace predatory food delivery middlemen (GrabFood, ShopeeFood, DoorDash, UberEats) and marketplace gatekeepers. Independent roasters gain an autonomous Claude-powered sommelier, zero-commission peer-to-peer checkout, predictive roast replenishment, and automated hyper-local courier dispatch.

## Core Capabilities & Architecture

- [Autonomous Sensory Sommelier](https://186coffee.com/#features): Multi-turn conversational flavor mapping powered by Claude 3.7 Sonnet. Maps home brewer gear (V60, Aeropress, Espresso, Chemex), water ratios, and flavor notes to exact roast profiles and grind microns.
- [Predictive Freshness Replenishment](https://186coffee.com/#features): Autonomous retention engine tracking bean decay curves and consumption velocity (Claude 3.5 Haiku) to prompt reorders before coffee stales.
- [Zero-Fee Direct Settlement](https://186coffee.com/#economics): 0% marketplace commission. Direct peer-to-peer VietQR and Stripe bank transfers straight to the roaster's account.
- [On-Demand Fleet Dispatch](https://186coffee.com/#features): Automated local courier scheduling via Ahamove, Lalamove, and Uber Direct APIs at true courier cost with zero platform markups.
- [Autonomous Roaster Copilot](https://186coffee.com/#features): Auto-generates sensory origin stories, batch cupping notes, and customer updates from green bean logs.
