A Coffee Roastery in Finland has Launched an AI-generated Blend and the Results Were Surprising

In a groundbreaking move, a Helsinki-based artisan roastery has introduced a new coffee blend that has been developed by artificial intelligence. The innovative blend, named “AI-conic,” was launched this week in Finland, a country known for its high coffee consumption.

The blend, created in collaboration with local AI consultancy Elev, features four types of beans, with Brazil’s Fazenda Pinhal dominating the mix. Leveraging advanced AI models, the technology was tasked with crafting a blend that would appeal to coffee enthusiasts, pushing the boundaries of conventional flavor combinations.

Svante Hampf, the founder of Kaffa Roastery, expressed his excitement about the project, stating that they wanted to explore how AI could assist in the traditional artisan profession of coffee roasting. The AI not only created the blend but also designed the coffee package label and provided a detailed taste description.

Despite initial skepticism, Kaffa’s coffee experts were pleasantly surprised by the AI-generated blend. After blind testing, they agreed that the tech-assisted blend was perfect, with no need for human adjustments. According to Elev’s spokesman, Antti Merilehto, “AI-conic is a tangible example of how AI can introduce new perspectives to seasoned professionals.”

The success of this trial has sparked a dialogue among coffee professionals in Finland about the future possibilities of AI in the industry. Hampf believes that AI has a lot to offer in the long run and is impressed by the unique coffee taste descriptions it created.

Overall, the collaboration between Kaffa Roastery and Elev has demonstrated the potential for AI to revolutionize the coffee industry, combining artisan skills with cutting-edge technology to create exciting new blends. This project marks just the beginning of a promising partnership between tradition and innovation in Finland’s coffee culture.
