I was checking out your shipping rates and you have a "fixed flat rate" at $0.00, what exactly does that mean? I am in Nebraska if you could elaborate on that fixed rate please. Most places I order from usually take 3/4 days to get to me and charge around $5/6 for shipping.

CPavari. I wish you well on your business. I just do not know how you are going to be able to keep off when this takes off. I roast to order now and it is tricky with only offering what I offer...I can't imagine customizing every order. The last company I worked for was an online roastery/roast to order. We hit 100k lbs a month and it was NUTS. I went in at 3 am and roasted non stop...sometime up to 21 hours. What happens when you get 10, 100..no a 1000 custom orders? I just checked out your site and was able to pick a 10 bean blend. How do you do that if it is only 12 oz? I am not dissing you just trying to wrap my head around this. Look forward to hearing about this

Great question! My partner is actually a robotics engineer and is working on automatizing the custom blends. The ten different beans each represent 10% of the blend so if a customer chooses ten different origins each will be 1.2 oz of the roast. With the automatization this should be quite possible! We’ll be expanding, of course, according to our orders. Hope this answers your question! Thanks for your interest! Happy to answer anything else!

What size roaster do you have? The reason I ask is lets say you have 10 different blends. That's 10 different batches. Even if you are one of these new school roasters that roasts at 9 minutes that is 90 minutes to produce only 10 lbs. If you have anything over a 2 kilo you will have left over because you have to do at least a quarter of the size of the roaster. Like I said earlier I am just trying to wrap my head around your concept. You should have a section where you give suggestions...otherwise which coffees blend well together and ones that do not. I would also suggest that people do not blend more than 3 coffees. Some coffees would just wash out/over power others. I would love to see pics of your roastery. You do not have any posted on your site.

Sounds like he can roast small batches.

"The ten different beans each represent 10% of the blend so if a customer chooses ten different origins each will be 1.2 oz of the roast."

Or am I missing something?

 

[topher]

If he can how will they keep up if they get more than 20 orders a day?

 

[CPavari]

My partner, the robotics engineer, won't show off the system, but let's just say you're on the right track with multiple roasters roasting small amounts

 

[Duffyjr]

CPavari - I forgot to inquire about your roasting days, do you have a weekly schedule for what days you roast on?

 

[Musicphan]

Are you blending prior to roast?

We try (though not always achievable) to roast within 24 hours of the order being placed so our schedule is determined by our customers...We don't want to let time pass as the customer could be out of coffee and that's an urgent situation;-)
