Apart from the kind of forced title, what I'm really trying to do here is to offer a steady/reliable source of good quality coffee always at a fair price. You pay a fixed monthly fee and can be sure you'll always have great coffee at a great price.
It's not a club for coffee connaisseurs and we don't offer exclusive blends every month - it's simply good coffee for anyone who likes coffee.
The way I do that is by connecting local roasteries directly to end customers. No middle man, no storage costs, no retail costs. I'm starting with coffee but I believe it can also be done for other products (?).
Would really like to get your input on this... Would you buy this for yourself? Would you buy it for your startup?
Just to be pedantic; aren't you the middle man? I mean, if the coffee companies tried to go direct to your customers after a couple months would you be upset?
Yeah, I'm getting that getting that question a lot :p Well, what I mean with no middle man was, as opposed to traditional retail partners selling at more than 250% the price the buy (and still with thin margins), we are charging a thin commission out of the final price set by the producer. Well.. maybe I'm still a middle man but not many will notice me!
Glad to hear you'd used it Devon.
All our coffee comes from a sole partner roastery (located in Portugal). That info is on the website (/about) but we totally should make it more visible as well as providing some info about the blend itself.
I'm the CTO over at Rentify in London. I'd be happy to give this service a shot for a month. We drink pour-overs. Do you provide paper filters as well for ground coffee?
Hi buf. Glad to hear you're interested! For the moment we are not providing the filters but we do have plans to provide them as well as adapters for using our pods on any normal espresso maker. Let's get in touch guico@hotcoffeeclub.com
