How scoring works: each brand is scanned across four AI engines with the buyer questions people actually type (e.g. “best coffee to buy in Germany?”). The score reflects how often and how prominently the brand is recommended. Movement (▲▼) compares the latest scan to the previous one.
In our latest scan, The Barn Coffee Roasters has the highest AI Visibility Score (70/100), meaning the AI assistants name it most often when shoppers ask for a coffee recommendation in Germany. 0 of the 22 brands we track currently score 76 or above.
We ask four AI assistants — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity — the buyer questions people actually type, such as "best coffee in Germany?". Each brand's 0–100 score reflects how often and how prominently it is named across those answers. It is an editorial measure of AI visibility, not a paid placement and not a rating of the coffee itself.
AI assistants tend to repeat a small set of well-documented names, so brands with thin websites, little third-party coverage or no structured product data often get left out — no matter how good their coffee is. 20 of the 22 brands here currently score under 32 ("Invisible"). It's usually fixable with clearer, more machine-readable content.
Scores refresh as we re-scan the AI engines; the most recent update shown here is 29 Sept 2026. The ▲▼ movement column compares each brand's latest scan with the one before it.
Every brand on this page is scanned across four AI assistants using the same buyer questions a real Germany shopper would ask. We record whether each engine names the brand, how prominently, and which rivals it recommends instead, then combine that into a single 0–100 AI Visibility Score. We don't take payment to move a brand up the ranking — the only way to climb is to become genuinely easier for the AIs to understand and cite. Brands can claim their listing to see exactly which questions and engines they're missing.
