I'm a small roaster, interested in joining or STARTING a green coffee buying cooperative, preferably based in the mid-Atlantic region somewhere. Anyone interested in discussing?

I'm mid-Atlantic, also late to this thread, and very interested in how to achieve direct farm purchases, acknowledging all the import and insurance issues.

I'm with Kaldi's in St. Louis. I know we would be interested in teaming up with a or some other roaster/s. We have done this a bit in the past and really want to be more direct. Great idea and thread! That's what this site should be about!!

Hi Chris. I'm a part-time micro roaster in Rockwall Co., but I work in Arlington. I just bought my first two full bags of coffee. Until now, I've been paying broken-bag prices. I'd love to have another source.

I'm interested in joining such a group. I'm just starting out but I think I could join on as a bronze level buyer, if you will.

We're a small roaster in West Virginia, and could really use a cooperative buying group. I'll send you a friend request thing, and then send my phone, email, etc. Thanks for throwing this out there.

I would reccomend a Baratza grinder (http://www.baratza.com/) instead of pre grinding. These are solid home grinders that can easily make the transition to a light commercial use decaf espresso grinder. You can get them from $150-450, but they i thi…
what i've found is that the problem isn't traditional drip brewing - it's the airpots. anything sitting for more than half an hour gets funky tasting. if i brew a 2.2 litre airpot of our colombian at 60g/l and taste it immediately, it's really nice.…
Almost forgot Organic Products Trading (optco) Smaller offerings but good people and they get some good coffees in.
I have also read great things about sustainable harvest but haven't ordered.

It is really hard to get reliable info on Ethiopian coffees due to the ECX. (ethiopian commodity exchange) Lots of articles on this on coffeed.

I've got just enough regular decaf drinkers that I can't really eliminate it (as much as I'd love to, but these are the kind of customers that have been coming in for 16 years, so...). Yeah, I'm looking at the schematics now, and I'm thinking I can…
Atlas in Seattle. Craig is a q grade trainer and one of the more knowledgeable coffee guys I've met. Also Zephyr, (I deal with the Seattle office.) I haven't tried shrub but I like the concept.
keith pettigrew, an australian barista judge who trained me a bit in australia, told me to use espresso within 3 minutes of it being ground. that rule has never failed me. i dropped $1500 on an extra k-10 for decaf and it was worth every penny. to b…
excellent suggestions so far, i emailed the links to the roaster and we'll see what he thinks. this is the stuff i really dig - i'm never going to be able to taste every coffee but having specific information about the coffees i do taste helps so mu…
I have worked in a shop that did this, and even if you grind the decaf and take it straight to the machine, you still can't dial it in to pull decent shots. It would be better to have a cheaper lower volume grinder to dedicate to decaf if you are wo…
