A) I actually thought they ARE the german sibling of craftcoffee, but thanks for the clarification. They indeed look like a copy, but I don't mind that as long it doesn't lack in the execution and quality. B) Since you seem to be a coffee expert: What sort of coffee has a very low acidic profile, whilst having being strong and aromatic? C) To use the service you need to own a EUR 1000+ coffee machine, which only rich…

a) I don't believe they are associated with Craft Coffee, but I'm just a pleased customer, with no inside information. They looks very, very similar, but with just enough difference to suggest that they are separate. Craft Coffee only supplies NA, so, I guess I'm happy to see similar companies for the Germans, and the Brits, etc. b) I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I'd suggest you look at more of the "newer" Wes…
