Bit Beans Coffee Company is now taking orders.

Who are we?

Bit Beans Coffee Company is a start up bitcoin business providing high quality freshly roasted coffee beans at a great price. We are located in a small mountain town in Western PA. Our ethics and values make the choice to sell coffee beans for crypto currency an easy one. We will not accept fiat currency in exchange for our beans. Our website is www.bitbeanscoffee.com.  

How are we different?

When a batch of beans is roasted, the flavor compounds begin to evaporate slowly into the air and are lost forever. Industrial coffee beans found in your average market have been sourced by companies looking for the lowest cost and then warehoused for weeks and months at a time by the roaster and then the store. This results inevitably in low quality coffee beans that are placed in a fancy bag or a bulk bin and sold as a "premium coffee."

Our beans are roasted to order by a well respected roaster in small batches and are literally still warm as they leave the roasting house to arrive at our door within 24 hours. We order small batches because our goal is for our coffee to arrive at your door step less than 7 days after roasting.  

How do we provide value?

Our coffee is priced to allow bitcoiners to have a good cup of coffee on a daily basis. We don't believe you should have to pay a premium to do business in this economy and our prices reflect that. We operate on a smaller profit margin because we believe that providing great coffee for a great price will not only benefit the bitcoin economy but also increase our sales volume through repeat business that over time will more than make up for a smaller than usual mark up.
 

How do we earn your trust?

We don't expect anyone to trust us right away. Relationships take time and these forums are filled with stories of scams and scam attempts. That's why have placed .5 bitcoin with a trusted escrow service on this forum. If you place an order and do not receive it you can file a claim with the escrow service for the full amount you paid. I will ask him to post in this thread to confirm the tx and arrangement. If at any point we have orders in process that add up to over .5 btc we will make an additional deposit.  

How does our order process work?  

You can place your order here in this thread by simply posting that you would like to order or you can order through our website form. If you post your order here I will reply with a payment address we can arrange shipping by private message or e-mail. If you place your order through the form on our website I will send an e-mail with the payment address and we can arrange shipping by e-mail.

Your information is only shared with our escrow service in case of a claim. Our website does not require registration so there is no database to be sold or hacked.

What future plans do we have?

Once we get through the proof of concept stage we will start adding some different blends and single source beans to our inventory. We are trying out an espresso roast now that will likely be on the site within a few weeks. We also plan to carry some equipment like french press and chemex brewers. If sales volume allows it we intend to increase our order size and pass even more savings on to our customers. As volume grows we plan to start talking with our suppliers about accepting bitcoin. It is a goal of ours for this to become a fully crypto currency business. In the mean time we will only exchange what we need to purchase inventory and supplies.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. We invite you to take a look at our website and thank you for allowing us to serve your coffee needs.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

Thanks Dev!

Just an update, based on the feedback about the site we are building shipping cost into the purchase price. If all of our orders are from out west it might become an issue, but for the sake of simplicity and until we get our permanent site built I will cover what ever extra costs we have for shipping.

So until we get a site that can calculate shipping automatically the cost you see on the site will be your total cost.

Updated and added a new Espresso Roast to the website:

Our Dark Espresso coffee brings a rich and heavy flavor ideal for espresso or iced coffee. This custom blend of South American, Indian, and Indonesian beans are very dark in color and have that oily sheen that espresso fans crave.

I am mulling over the idea of organic fair trade coffees as well. If enough people are interested we can do an escrowed order at a pretty good price. If enough people are interested I can get the price down around .06 per 2 pounds.

Coffee arrived 1 or 2 days after ordering ( I was away so not sure).  Tracking number was sent the day I ordered.  Very smooth transaction.  

Have not yet tried but will update once I finish the beans I currently have on hand.

you can sell on coincola.com, the multisig marketplace. it make transactions easy for both seller and buyer.

Thanks for the link! I registered there but can't seem to upload my logo. I don't have any photo editing skills so I will have to get my logo resized by someone before I can use it.

I do have a store front at bit dazzle now. The address is https://bitdazzle.com/shop/bit-beans-coffee-company

For international orders contact me via pm. If we process those orders manually the shipping cost is a bit lower.

In the US the shipping cost is a flat rate that will be added at checkout.

As always orders can be placed here in the thread, at www.bitbeanscoffee.com or via private message.

Thanks!

Bitbeans House Blend Review

My package of 2lbs of Bitbeans House Blend arrived a couple of days after I ordered.  The transaction was smooth and payment information was communicated on this forum and was covered by escrow. 

The coffee arrived in two unmarked shiny gray bags.  The bags were filled to the to top with barely enough room to squeeze to let some air escape.  Included in the package were some grinding instructions for different brewing methods (drip vs. french press).

Upon opening the first bag, I was greeted with the familiar aroma of delicious roasted coffee beans.  If I had to compare the aroma with beans available at the store, I would say they reminiscent of "Dunkin Donuts" original blend more so than say "Starbucks" original.  I ground my beans as instructed on a medium coarse burr grind for my drip coffee maker.

As the batch was dripping, my wife (an ex-barista) said that it smelled like a real coffee shop in the kitchen.  A good sign to be sure.  We poured our cups and fixed them as we normally do.

The flavor was rich and delicious.  The smoothness and balance of flavors were two predominant features of this blend.  It had low acidity and was not bitter at all.  Imagine if Dunkin Donuts made a Gourmet Blend that was only available in small batches.  That is the best way I can describe it using familiar comparisons.

The caffeine levels seemed to be a bit lower than other blends.  I wasn't wired after two mugs as I sometimes am.  This is a plus for me as I drink a lot of coffee and end up making custom fractional half-caffs often.

This a one smooth house blend.  The fact that this coffee is available for BTC is just another plus in its favor and not a gimmick.  It would stand on its own among gourmet beans from any shop.

Cheers.
