#2It doesn't say in oz or grams how much coffee you are actually getting. From some rough math I would have to guess it is about 6oz. For $15 that seems really expensive even when compared to craft coffee (tonx/toby's estate) which is around $19 (shipping included) for 12oz bag.

Ya, Moustache Coffee Club will ship 12oz of Intelligentsia or Handsome coffee to to you for 16.99. They are regarded by a lot of people as some of the best roasters in the world. Why would I pay $15 for a 6oz bag?

#4Hey Xntrk, I'm Sumant, one of the founders of Coffee Match.
The $15 is just a baseline for our Indiegogo campaign. Unlike Tonx/Toby's estate - with Coffee Match, your getting great Coffee or Tea from the a unique destination along with a ton of interesting content about the region, the people, the Coffee, & much more.
With more orders & relationships, we will continue to work on keeps cost down.

coffeebeandirect will sell you Indian Monsooned Malabar for $39.75 for five pounds of whole beans. I've bought this; it's tasty. At 7.95/lb, it's about the same price as random Colombian at the supermarket.

Sorry, maybe I missed it, but will you be doing the roasting or will the supplier?
Why not work with small roasters instead of direct?

We will be importing the beans directly to the US & then working with small roasters in certain geographic locations to roast the beans before we ship it out.

Sounds like the smartest way to do it. Good luck! I hope you can carve out a decent niche for highly specialized varietals (something that an independent roaster might not feel like he can clear 60kg of). If you do it right, you and roasters can both benefit from the relationship (less margin for them, but less inventory risk... less margin for you, but less work to develop sales channels).

It is about creating an amazing experience around enjoying your Indian Monsooned Malabar Coffee everyday - learning something new about that region. We agree, cost is something that we are focused on bringing down - with scale & time - this is definitely possible.

Yeah I just contributed to the indiegogo but before hand I send them an email on price here is the response I got to paraphrase.
"It is 15 dollars including shipping and in terms of quantity it is 10 oz" Pretty good deal considering that they are doing interesting things with content that directly connect you to the farm and culture...
