    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?

    I have...I actually spoke to the guy in charge ( Taloumis) ...He was very helpful . I could get in touch with him again, I speak greek so easy enough to reach out I guess ? Some of their coffees have been phenomenal, others just good...

    By the way, how do you know of a greek roaster?

    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.

    Thanks - Koppi sounds great if none of the others get back to you.
