You kindly threw in a sample bag in with one of my previous orders. That's what got me thinking. Was it a 100g bag? That's a bob-on size.

Numbers wise, maybe 6 or 8 bags plus an 'eco-friendly' travel mug and, obviously a money off voucher for the next order.

Price wise, around £20-£25 would be reasonable, but obviously you'd have to price it so that it was comparable to the price of a similar weight of standard order beans. For me it would be the fact that there was a selection that mattered most.

Re the mug, if you're thinking of going down that route, consider this: your product is high end and ethical. Something branded but equally as high end would suit the product. Just looking on Alibaba something like this perhaps:

Packaging is tricky, but I'd say go with the high end, eco vibe: branded brown paper bag. Recycled, naturally. Preferable hand-woven by rescued armadillos. Excessive packaging is just sooo last decade.

hmm - let me ponder, dig around....

Indeed, but with a min order of 200 @ $9 a pop....it pretty much makes it a non-starter. Having a hunt about to see what I can come up with though...

I am just going to order him a bag of coffee! Job jobbed. And if he likes it, he will order his own coffee. I think that will work as a marketing exercise.

How many people would buy decaff if it was in my shop??

I keep getting asked here and there for it, but... decaff... that's sort of like Alcohol free lager....

Nah, that's just wrong. Tell em to go to the yogurt weavers down the road where that sort of filth is acceptable

If I found a coffee I liked and it could be decaf that would be perfect. I drink decaf Yorkshire tea by the bucketful! If I found a coffee I liked I couldn’t drink much as I avoid caffeine generally. (Except on seriously long transfer days, then I drink too much lousy coffee!!)

I’d probably buy some for friends too.

But as I’m not a coffee purchaser/drinker yet, not sure my comment helps much!!

I’m moving house so don’t want to faff around with subscription just yet. Could you make the variety pack a one of purchase?

Yep that's no problem, now available in the shop.

Favourite so far is the Kinini Kinigazi (Rwanda) with the Fazenda Palmital (Brazil) up next. Given how much I like a lot of Ethopian coffee's I wonder if I have a thing for African coffee

[Wreckless Rat]

Africa makes some sublime coffees - so you’re not alone, my missus loves African coffees too.

[Docca]

Ordered. Thanks buddy.

We are getting through 1.5kg a month here between two of us. Not masses for some of you, but interesting for us to know

[Claude]

Order placed

[Claude]

Received with thanks.

Looking forward to trying it!

[Wreckless Rat]

Hope you enjoy it, so far we have pretty good feedback on here, so I really do hope you enjoy it too.

I'm sure I will, 'flat white' is my coffee tipple of choice

Finally the lavaza has gone and I’ve had a chance to stock the machine with Holly’s Blend.

Tastes really smooth, no bitterness at all. Delicious!

[Wreckless Rat]

Cool. Holly's isn't a really "strong" coffee, but it certainly is tasty as the three beans are all roasted to a different profile. One is quite a bit darker, one light and a mid roast on the third. This brings a really nice roundness to it, again IMHO.

New delivery came yesterday. El Salvador Like that. Ta for the biscuits too
