About

Nizami Coffee is a micro-roastery and platform for personal exploration into coffee. It is an homage to Sufi mysticism and it's ties to the origin of coffee.

In May 2025, I parted with my job as a software developer to focus on more meaningful work, and being a coffee fanatic it's been such a joy to work on Nizami Coffee.

I designed the platform to help me roast and brew coffee. It is free of charge to use with any subscription.

All of our coffee is roasted to order. For recommendations on coffee setups, please check our blog, we will also sell starter kits for future reference.

Don't get me wrong I am a firm believer technology such as AI to create more personalized experiences in our lives.

I strongly believe that technology should enable more meaningful lives instead of productivity apps designed for corporate adoption. Thus, Nizami Coffee aims to synchronize advancements in coffee, software, and AI for personal exploration and joy and for creating community. It exists as a base for you to explore coffee to your satisfaction and to express yourself. Use it to try new brewing methods, gather insights from the community, and perfect drinks to your liking.

Nizami Coffee draws inspiration from global traditions and trends and a long standing goal has been to support Turkish and Arabic coffee.

How it works

Step 1: obtain coffee

Obtain coffee through our shop. The beans will arrive in a bag that includes a QR code this The QR code includes information on the roast, which you can use to replicate with your own roaster and obtain green coffee. The QR code also enables a

Step 2: brew coffee

Step 3: rate brew

Step 4: rate coffee

As part of the mission to make coffee more personalized, I think it's important to make it as affordable as possible. No marketing gimmicks or elitism here! Everyone should be able to explore coffee. The packaging will be functional and basic. Any useful information about the coffee will instead be hosted online and emailed along with a receipt. Cost to operate will be low. I don't plan to operate any physical locations like cafes or roasteries. Instead, the coffee will be roasted in a co-op space, bagged, and directly shipped to customers. If circumstances allow, I'd start co-op spaces and support individual roasting.

Nizami Coffee's goal is to be a platform for coffee exploration and refinement. I'll be hard at work pushing features to support brewing and cupping. The idea is that you receive adaptive guides for brewing coffee, preferences are recorded with a feedback system that includes cupping, and you can record your brewing methodology as well. Eventually there will be suggestions for tweaks, brewing methods, and more. Hopefully it will be useful for exploration and refinement.

For the platform to be useful, the data has to be objective and transparent. So I'm looking into ways to quantively measure coffee properties in a better way than tasting notes. These numbers along with roasting details will be published for each coffee in the future. But for the moment to make taste notes more objective, I'm planning to crowdsource it and release a flavor wheel for users to rate their coffee.
