It was briefly mentioned over at the new coffee thread about an exchange. So after one other person said they were interested, I am getting it going. I really wanted to participate in this ever since I saw the old thread from last time.
If you want to participate please have your post include the following information.
-Country of your ship to location
-If you have a shipping restriction (IE: only shipping to continental US)
-If you wish to participate in more than one exchange.
After the closure of submissions all participants will be matched up based on the info provided. Participants will be responsible to reach out to their recipients to get addresses and communicate anything else needed.
Ground Rules
1. Open to everyone, but Coffee Grinders need to jump through a few more hoops. If you are a coffee Grinder post here and send me a PM. We will have to work something out to make sure your not a fraudster, nothing crazy though I promise.
2. After the conclusion of this you must send your recipient at least 1lbs of a roast. You can send more if you want.
3. You may sign up for more than one exchange.
4. Exchange will end in 2-3 weeks (Feb 26th-Mar 5Th). This is subject to change as my wife is due with our 4th child at about the same time. I will give 24hrs notice as to when submissions close.
5. This is a A-B-C-D-A type of exchange. Which means the person you are sending to may not be the person sending to you.
6. Sender is responsible for all shipping costs.
If you think something else needs to be addressed please let me know.
It's amusing that Coffee Grinders cannot actually join us in our quest to grind coffee together.
I'm obviously in (considering I'm the one going down this snobbery hole and ranting on about it):
- US of Gorram A!
- No restrictions!
- Willing to do more than one exchange, but can only have one active at a time mainly because I don't have coffee stock at my house so I need to go out to stores to buy the beans
I'm also in:
-US
-No restrictions
-I'll do one

Most of the good roasters do 12 oz bags anyway. I ain't hoping to get a bulk supply of whatever is the Amazon Special
Thanks Igneus!
Protip: A pound of coffee will just barely fit in a USPS Priority Mail Small Flat Rate Box. It'll be the cheapest way to mail it for most people. You might have to put it in a new bag, though.
Coffee has been shipped! Hopefully my coffee friend enjoys my pick.
Asterith's coffee arrived yesterday and we enjoyed it this morning with breakfast. My fiancee' made it and commented on how smooth it was before I even had a sip. The tasting notes mention chocolate, orange and almond. The almond is what stood out the most to me. If I had it available here, it would definitely be in my buy rotation. Big thanks to Asterith!
Hooray! Glad you like it The company is pretty cool too, they buy from the farmers directly so they get a bigger cut of the profits and on the side of each bag you can see exactly where the beans are from.
Woohoo! As the one who started the original coffee exchange thread on GWJ, I'm glad to see people are doing it again. I'm just too busy to participate these days. Can't wait to see more pictures.
My coffee will be going out soon! Sorry, receivee!
My caffeine bomb has been launched! I didn't know what to choose, so I instead got some samples of lots of stuff for my recipient. Squee, I hope you like it!
Tomorrow will be a good day.
I am going to try to get mine sent out tomorrow. My schedule got messed up with the whole birth of a baby. But it's the best excuse in my opinion.
I hope you enjoy those and crap, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BABY!
Ooooo! Yeah! Congrats!
Coffee arrived yesterday. All the way from Utah! Tomorrow, it shall be consumed. I am super looking forward to it. Thanks!
Publik is part of the new wave of roasters around these parts, doing pretty good for themselves. Enjoy!
Trichy, the light roast you sent me is wonderful. I don't do a lot of light roasts, but I was curious since it had notes of red pepper.
Brewed a cup in my Chemex, and wow. Just superb.
