About uncrack

Discover. Connect. Enhance.

uncrack is the data-driven green coffee auction built by EGGSTONE, a data-science and AI company. Behind every lot stands the Uncrack Engine: one connected intelligence spanning green chemistry, roasted profiles and the roast itself. See the unseen, powered by data and intelligence.

THE UNCRACK ENGINENIR SPECTROSCOPY · ML MODELS · V2

Not a scoring tool — an intelligence. The Engine is built on years of paired measurements across green beans, roasted beans and the roasting process, one of the deepest coffee databases of its kind, resolved by machine-learning models into evidence you can bid on. Every auction feeds it; every season it predicts sharper.

01THE CASE FOR DATA

An auction exists to find differentiated quality — and differentiated quality is the value.

The industry finds it with sensory: five senses and experience. It works — and it isn’t enough. A score can’t say which lot has the better acidity, texture, balance or potential. It can’t explain why the difference happened, prove it, or reproduce it next season.

In a market where 0.13 points multiplies a price, the missing information is the whole game. So we built the auction on information sensory scores cannot see.

DETAILS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
0.13score gap → 4.5× the bids

Best of Panama 2025, Geisha Washed — 94.63 drew 658 bids at $6,105/kg; 94.50 drew 148 at $2,040/kg.

0.25score gap → 13× the hammer

CGLE V-auction 2025 — 94.25 hammered 13× higher than 94.00, from the same region.

#apple #pear vs #apple #chestnut-honey. Which do you bid on, and why? The score alone can’t say.

Subjective evaluation

Scores vary by person, culture and region — nothing anchors them at the green stage.

Data-powered discovery

Chemical composition reveals true value with clear, measurable proof.

Hidden quality stays hidden

Exceptional lots remain disconnected, undiscovered, undervalued.

Seamless global access

Objective data bridges origin to the world — trusted, traceable, traded on one floor.

Undefined value

Value stays vague; entry barriers stay high; many lots are never seen.

Precision-based value

Price driven by data, aligned with quality, built for long-term growth.

03DISCOVER · CONNECT · ENHANCE
DISCOVER

Data discovers the hidden value.

One NIR scan resolves a green lot into 16 named components, six taste axes and plain quality signals — its potential read objectively, before the first roast.

CONNECT

Bridge origin to the world.

One live floor, one shared timeline. A producer in Santa Bárbara and a roaster in Berlin bid on the same evidence — anonymous paddles, exporter-settled.

1floor, every buyer
ENHANCE

Proof raises price.

Visualizing a coffee’s strengths with data enhances its value. Every farm gets its analysis back, win or lose — and the evidence compounds each season.

04THE RECORD SO FAR

The next great coffees aren’t just found — they’re nurtured. Both pilots ran with Busan Technopark under a Korean national program, with IHCAFE at origin.

PILOT · HONDURAS
