A new perspective on Coffee and Tea: “Building” Coffee Match(coffeematchdotcom.wordpress.com) |
The $15 is just a baseline for our Indiegogo campaign. Unlike Tonx/Toby's estate - with Coffee Match, your getting great Coffee or Tea from the a unique destination along with a ton of interesting content about the region, the people, the Coffee, & much more.
With more orders & relationships, we will continue to work on keeps cost down.
Why not work with small roasters instead of direct?
So I don't think this business is going to get my dollars, and I feel that most people are in my boat.
Best of luck finding the niche of people that will want what is being sold!
"I don't give a damn. That's the beauty of it. It doesn't matter. That's the nearest place. I'll meet you there. And you know what? Coffee's all good. It's all good. As long as it's fresh, it's good. And it's always fresh in New York. ... I think we're a more productive society as a result."

"I have that at my mother's in Florida at her condo. When she says, 'Do you want coffee?' And she had a — I think it was a Cuban packet — and I started rolling my eyes. 'Oh my God that's the coffee you have?' And she boils the water and opens the packet and puts it in there and you know what? It was pretty good."
I'm not saying that all coffees are the same, but in general if my choices are "bad" coffee and no coffee, I'll take the bad coffee.
If you believe some folk, coffee's flavor is directly proportional to the distance it has traveled to reach your doorstep!
overly roasted (and cheap) Kirkland Columbian Coffee from Costco
"It is 15 dollars including shipping and in terms of quantity it is 10 oz" Pretty good deal considering that they are doing interesting things with content that directly connect you to the farm and culture...
That is all being replaced with some content on a website, roasted by some person you select, with beans that you select? Sorry, I doubt you are as good at bean selection as the roaster you are bring the beans to. I could be wrong about that, but I'm trying to give input as a huge coffee nerd, and a potential customer. I just don't care about a blog and pictures about where my beans came from. And then I think about the economics of it. You are acting as a middle man, meaning you need to get paid. I surely don't want to pay you to do selection that my own local roaster already does very well. I don't see any value in what you are offering.
That probably seems very negative and "snipe"y, but I think you are going to dump a ton of time and money into something that really isn't going to be successful.
Edit: as I said, I now roast my own coffee. I buy from Sweet Marias. If, for some reason, I hunger for knowledge about the source of my beans (and, I stress that I don't), I can just go to their website and read about it for free.
