    Intelligentsia were good last time and they gave us free delivery.

    Blue Bottle are good too, though I'd be be happy with any roaster really.

    Question is does anyone have a contact we can use to get a good deal?

    Sorry but have to ask a few dim questions here.
    I have a Bailies sub and grind my own.

    What are we talking about here in group buy? Is it green beans that we get roasted ourselves and what (obviously down to individuals) kind of weights are we talking about?
    Cheers lads but it intrigues me about "group buys"

    We pick a roaster from another country that has a good reputation but that people would not normally be able to order from because of the delivery cost.

    We then each order some bags of roasted coffee from them and get them delivered to one address, hopefully getting a bit of a discount for the bulk order. So pretty much the same as your Bailies sub, but just get to try coffee from a different roaster.

    I've had a response from Koppi. Would people be happy to go with them?

    I sent out mails to Blue bottle and coffee collective also but no response.


    Any other suggestions?

    Koppi said they would give us retail prices. Delivery would be about 20-30 Euro.

    What way do you want to arrange payment. I know from doing a Boards cycling kit order before it ended up costing me as I left payment until collection. Do you want payment first?

    Thanks for organizing Adrian. Added in my request. It does mention on the price list that it's a minimum 3kg order per coffee, so we may need to do some consolidating!

    I'd say we'll be fine on that score, we'll see what we end up with but if we are short on any coffee I'd say they will accommodate us as we are not really a corporate order.

    Sounds like I'll miss this one. Pity. But I can back Koppi 100% I had a few bags from them and I have to say some of the best beans I have EVER tried. You're all lucky!
