Want to get a coffee? Want to meet new people? Introducing Cupped, the free, completely ephemeral, platonic, pretense-free, female-friendly, login-free, 100% in-the-moment, caffeine-happy, non-dating, simple-yet-epically-effective new way to get a cup o joe with someone you dont know!
- No login required
- No personal data saved beyond each session
- No in-app chat (just match and go!)
- No commitment necessary
This is NOT a dating app; this is NOT a hookup app. You must be at least 18 years old to use this app.
To use Cupped, simply
(1) take a selfie
(2) add your name and age, and
(3) find people around you who, in that exact moment, also want a coffee and want to meet someone new (like you!).
Then...
A map will show you the closest coffee shop within walking distance between both of your current locations. Swipe left on people you think are meh, and right on people you think you’d want to meet. If it’s a match, then it’s a match! If you act on a match and the other person does, too, then that’s awesome and the app worked! If not, then that’s awkward for the other person if they show up and you don’t.
Wanna know what makes Cupped even more awesome?
We don’t save any of your data after you’re done with each session (it’s 100% ephemeral – a fancy word for stuff that disappears). Tapping “done” inside a session or even simply leaving the app automatically deletes all of your information (name, age, picture, and location) from our database. We just keep stats on the number of times the app has been used and the number of matches made. There’s no commitment, whatsoever.
For best results, don’t be a creeper, be honest, and follow through when you get a match!
WARNING:
Do you plan on attempting to be malicious and abusing this platform in any way, including uploading crude photographs and language, or harassing others in any way? We strongly recommend you reconsider. With no login comes great responsibility. Do the right thing.
OPTIMIZATION:
Cupped is optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, and iPhone 6s Plus, and in big cities with high density populations and lots of coffee shops, like San Francisco, New York City, Amsterdam, London, Paris, Rome, Moscow, Berlin, Barcelona, and Sydney (all other cities and towns, too, of course!).
Enjoy!

ABOUT US:
At Kindred, our mission is to close the gap between the experiences we have on our devices and those that we have in the real world. Cupped helps us get closer to achieving our mission because it is the definition of an in-the-moment experience. You can assume that if all goes the way it should, you could be having coffee with the same person you saw in their no-filter picture that they took just moments before. Our devices often times act as a buffer between fiction and reality, but in the case of Cupped they can be so much more, particularly an icebreaker to meeting new and interesting people in a genuine and relaxed way. Simply knowing that another person is interested in meeting you is a great feeling. We look forward to seeing how Cupped evolves based on your experiences and feedback.
