Coffee Review Bean Rating Scraper

Scrapes 6,000+ expert coffee reviews from CoffeeReview.com — the authoritative 100-point specialty-coffee scoring platform since 1997. Returns the full sensory panel (Aroma, Acidity/Structure, Body, Flavor, Aftertaste sub-scores), roaster details, origin, Agtron roast reading, estimated price, blind assessment, and parsed flavor descriptors.

What it scrapes

Coffee Review is the "Wine Spectator of coffee" — every review includes:

• Overall rating (0–100 point scale)
• Sensory sub-scores: Aroma, Acidity/Structure, Body, Flavor, Aftertaste
• Roaster details: name, city/country
• Bean origin: growing region and country
• Roast level and Agtron reading (roast color measurement)
• Estimated retail price
• Full review text: blind assessment, production notes, bottom line
• Tasting descriptors parsed from the blind assessment (e.g., "white peach, Meyer lemon, wild honey")
• is_top_30 flag: whether the review appeared on the top-rated coffees list

Who uses this

• Specialty roasters — competitive intelligence, benchmarking scores
• Coffee e-commerce — enriching product listings with authoritative sensory profiles
• Coffee recommendation apps — matching customer flavor preferences to reviewed coffees
• ML / AI datasets — structured sensory profiles for flavor-prediction models (6,000+ labeled examples)

Notes

• The full archive spans 1997–present. Pre-2010 reviews may lack origin, est_price, or aftertaste — these fields were added to the review format over time.
• No login required; Coffee Review is a free editorial site.
• Conservative concurrency (5 requests / 300ms delay) out of courtesy to the editorial site.
