coffeenatic.com - Coffee Addicts Anonymous

Want to know what other coffee fanatics like you are buzzing about? Coffeenatic.com is a new hub for coffee lovers and addicts to talk java, share coffee-related recipes, explore new types of coffee, or rate and comment upon those brands they’ve already tried. You can browse coffees by tags or keywords, recently added, brand, kind, sort, region, rating, or price. There are some reviews for syrups, but otherwise the content does not seem to expand much beyond coffee beans, grinds, or pods. When browsing the recipes forum, you can view recently added recipes or search by ingredient, rating, or complexity. Some recipes are for coffee drinks (including a few for replicating drinks made at popular chains like Starbucks), while others are for desserts or other foods that use coffee as an ingredient. You can surf most of the site’s content without registering, but only registered members can make comments or ratings, upload recipes, or make friends with other members. If you add friends, you can even use RSS feeds to stay up-to-date on which coffees your friends are tasting or what coffee recipes they’re enjoying.

“coffeenatic: The best way to express your love to coffee”

To say that coffee is popular would be a major understatement. It therefore seems logical that there would be a huge market out there interested in expanding their coffee knowledge and/or palate by joining coffeenatic.com. This site could also be very popular with advertisers since it will attract a niche market, and - unless you’re growing coffee beans in your backyard – being a coffee drinker means you are also a consumer.

Would users have an interest in an expansion of the social networking features, perhaps the addition of something to help pairs or groups in the same area meet up over a cup of coffee? Might they expand the site to include areas for researching or reviewing coffee shops or coffee-related products like coffee makers, French presses, travel mugs, etc.?
