Last year around this time I ran a coffee exchange. Personally I had a lot of fun trying the two coffees I got out of it. Is this something people have an interest in? If so I will look to start the official sign up on March 1st immediately. Sign up will run a week. Give a day or two for assignments, then people should start shipping out.
*EDIT*
Looks like enough people are interested so here we go:
If you want to participate please have your post include the following information.
-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 1 bag/container of a roast, 12-16oz. You can send more if you want.
3. You may sign up for more than one exchange.
4. Exchange will end on March 2nd . I will give 24hrs notice as to when submissions close. Assignments will be up by March 4th.
5. This is a A-B-C-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.
You had me at "coffee".
Edit:
-Call it a double exchange for me. The bean must flow.
-I'm ok with shipping to our Goojer brothers and sisters across the pond.
Interested. Is this like a local coffee thing or just send each other our favorite no matter the source?
Update:
-I can work multiple exchanges as I drink a lot of coffee.
-International is just fine for me

I'll never be able to afford it, so I recommend you send me the $350 bag of Kona beans I saw in Honolulu's 'Island Vintage Coffee' shop a couple years ago.
I've enjoyed participating in the past, and will do so again.
I also enjoyed the last one and I am in for this one!
Count me in!
Decaff for me please. Doctors orders Thanks!
I have to say thank you for this. I have given up on my favorite coffee due to the boring beetles. I checked to buy a bag for the exchange, it is back in stock. There is much rejoicing!
This sounds interesting, but I don't drink coffee. Wonder if it would work with local Maple Syrup?
I would join but I would like to keep Otto the continental United States
I would expect coffee to have more fans across the site.
I know there's more than 8 people who like coffee around here... Come on, Goojers! It's like the annual Secret Santa, but with COFFEEEEEEE!!!
Oh sorry, sign me up.
I'm happy to double up.
Sign me up then, eh?! Thanks to igneous for tagging me on the Slack. Work and kids have really crushed my Internet time.
Messages sent!
I have shipped as well. Norfair, it should arrive by Friday.
I'll be getting mine out as soon as parenthood and job allows! It's my craaaaazy time at work, and I've not been afforded an evening off before post offices close.
I got mine away earlier today. Hope they're enjoyed!
