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.
