Topic: Bit Beans Coffee Company Escrow Provided. Free coffee while it lasts! (Read 9638 times)

Hi, are you still taking orders, and do you ship to the UK? If so I'd like to make an order. 

Thanks for your questions.

The "sharp" and "burnt" taste tends to come from darker roasts like espresso roasts or "medium" or "full city" roasts. For a milder flavor your best bet would be our House Blend. It is a light to medium roast that tastes mild but still has some subtle nuance to it without the over powering flavor.

The number of cups depends on some factors. Generally speaking you would use about 6 oz of coffee per 8 oz cup so somewhere between 32-40 depending on how strong or weak you like your coffee and cup size as well. This can vary by the type of grinder you use or the strength of your brew.

The hands down best coffee in my opinion comes from a french press. That isn't to say that drip or even Keurig coffee etc. is inferior or a bad choice. I own and frequently use a Keurig simply because it is fast and I only want one cup. It does take a little more time and effort to measure and grind, boil water, and wait for the coffee to extract when I use my french press.

A lot self described coffee purists will say only this method or that method, but when it is 7:30 am and you have to get the kids fed and off to school or you are running late for work etc. a drip machine or Keurig makes sense. If it is Sunday morning and you want a great cup of coffee before working in the yard, watching football or going to church etc. you can't beat a french press.     

There is no completely right or wrong answer for any of these questions. It comes down to personal preference and time. I hope this helps and feel free to ask as many questions as you like.

Perhaps you could provide some information for a coffee beginner. I recently began drinking coffee and I'm not yet sure how to explain what I like.

Using well known brands to illustrate, I like "duller" coffee that seems to have texture but not so much of a sharp taste. For example I prefer Star bucks and Mcdonalds over Dunkin Donuts (I've only had Dunkin Donuts Kuerig coffee, not fresh made) and Chic-fil-a's new coffee (although I do like their new blend, I just don't care for the acidity). That being said, I prefer the smoother taste of McDonalds Coffee and Chic-fil-a over the burnt taste of Star Bucks.

I know that's not very helpful, but I wonder if you could help me pick one of your coffees based on this? Also, how many cups can be brewed with 2 pounds of coffee? Finally, what kind of coffee maker do you recommend?

It will be sometime after Christmas I think. Navigating my health issues and finding the right person to build the site are the main factors. I am in the process of getting quotes from web designers etc. right now. In the mean time you can place an order in this thread. I don't always get the notifications for some reason so please pm me as well if you want to order.

Thanks!

when will the site be actually up and running?

i love coffee

Yeah, part of our limited time will be working on a new website as well. You can place an order here or via pm as well.

Let me knot if you want to order and I will post a payment adress.

Thanks!

Uh oh!  I just went to the site to order come coffee for my bro and I get this:

Ha! I got a strange look at the post office as well but I am glad you got your coffee.

I have to cross the border to go to my PO box to pick up my order, so sometimes there is a delay between when it arrives and when I go to pick up my mail.

Got my coffee. Thank you.

This guy is legit! Received my coffee in the mail! The post guy was very confused since the name on the package was "cexylikepie", I realized I never gave my name!

All of my tracking shows everyone got their beans. Can you guys confirm for me?

Thanks and enjoy!

Thanks! I am operating in a very limited fashion at the moment so I am not sure publicity would be a goal at the moment. Once we get the medications right and I feel physically better I will be getting back to business full scale. I will definitely look you guys up when the time comes.

wow, good to see you back and with such a great deal

you are invited to take advantage of our free publicity offer if you wish https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9436119

I have to order more dark espresso blend so if you want to order 2 pounds of it let me know so I can place the order.

The price of 2 pounds is .0769 at the current exchange rate. That includes shipping so .0769 is the full price.

To be fair you did request it before the giveaway ended so I will discount it by half if you want to order.

You can send .0354 to 12hwC7eS1tgE7wsn9h9k2gKrbG1auYJmDV

Just a reminder it will take a day or so to get the coffee beans here after you order so shipping will take a little longer than usual.

Thanks!

Everyone that requested and paid postage has coffee on the way. Let me know if you would like me to send your tracking number.

We have used up all of the excess inventory of dark espresso so I will take individual orders from people that have bought from us before or were in the giveaway. I have a couple of requests yet to respond to but I will get you guys taken care of shortly.

I do have about 6 bags of House Blend still available for giveaway so there is enough for 3 more free packages. 


To help manage inventory while we are limited it would help to be able to anticipate orders so I know how much to keep in stock. If you will be ordering every two weeks or so or monthly let me know so I can make sure we have your coffee in stock when you order.


Thanks again and stay tuned! We will be testing out our fresh roasting process and will be sending out free samples to our customers that want to provide feedback.

Payment sent! Will pm address next

Thank you, yes that would be perfect.

Not having ever been a fan of coffee, I don't see myself buying two pounds, but it's fantastic to see more and more products coming from the bitcoin community. I hope Bit Beans last a long while. Good luck with your business!

My personal favorite is actually a blend of the dark espresso and house blend. I can send you any of the three but I will have to order more espresso and Kenyan so it will be next week before I can get it in the mail. If you want to try House Blend i can send you a free pound to try out. All you pay is shipping.

If you decide you want to try it you can send a payment to 14jnFnXFb9QWRbG1kYqwmB2fT5ySsKMY6T

Just to let everyone know any requests after tonight will probably not go out until Monday or Tuesday. My parents are coming to see me for the first time since the diagnosis and I probably won't be able to get away to send anything.

Thanks!

Payment received. I will drop it in the mail tomorrow.

BTW is one pound dark espresso and one pound house blend good for you? I know you wanted to try the dark so I can send one of each if you like. 

Ok, good to see you back.  I just sent the payment.

I sent a request via the website yesterday but I would like the Espresso blend.

Let me know how much and where to send.

thanks.  

This is a really cool idea! I plan to purchase bag or two in the near future. which blend would you recommend? i'm particularly interested in the Kenyan and the Dark, but maybe you could talk me into considering the houseblend as well.

No problem. Send me your mailing address via pm and I will get a package sent out.

You can send shipping payment to 17cVJyjaaVPCJsxkcNd2b2C22LEvQzRA3h

I will get it sent out tomorrow.

Thanks!

Thanks man! If you can send your mailing address again I can get your package out the door as well. You pm'd it to me last week I think but I inadvertently deleted it.

139FsUTNS3xov8QN7DEKW96EEMo48xxo2j

.0237 for shipping

Thanks!

Sure!

address is: 14972qj8VtJXbKQgQoyGKPhT1SkiayNDWA

shipping is .0237 at current press rates.

Thanks!

Sorry guys. I kind of fell out of touch there. I had a lot of tests last week and wasn't able to get to my computer. I will start catching up on the give away today and should have everyone taken care of by this weekend.

I am going to send these out with our regular late rate just to keep it simple.

If you pm me your shipping address I will send you a payment address. The flat rate we were building into the price is $8 USD so around .0237


As of now we will keep selling on a limited basis. If you have ordered from us or requested a free package in the give away feel free to submit orders going forward. We will fully reopen at some point in the near future but for now I will limit it to people we have done business with all ready or that were part of the give away.

I am going to take advantage of the down time to get my roasting set up going and will want some "guinea pigs" to try out the roasts and give me feedback so keep an eye on our thread for details.

One other thing i wanted to mention, Devscrow has shut down so we don't have escrow at the moment. Since the shipping is only eight dollars for the free stuff I will bear the risk and ship first if it makes you more comfortable.

Thanks for the well wishes. This has been a really trying time to say the least but C'est La Vie as they say.

 

Hope you are alright Ron.

I have not heard from him yet.  I imagine that he will show up as soon as he is able.  I am enjoying a cup of his coffee right now, and it is worth the wait.

hi there, i would like to try the house blend.

Anyone heard from Ron?

I would like to try the dark coffee.  Could you send one dark with one house blend?  Right now I have litecoins (from Zeushash mining), so I would have to exchange those first for bitcoin.  I will be able to do that later in the afternoon.

Under normal circumstances I would be happy to but I have mobility issues at the moment. If you read back through the thread you can see that each person has been quite happy with their order and all orders are backed by escrow currently held by a trusted escrow service. Once we are back up and running I will be more than happy to provide pictures etc.

Thanks!

Thanks man. I will be back up and running before December for sure. From what I understand the symptoms I have currently will go away and I will have to deal with occasional symptoms but I will have a person in place to fill in for me during those times. In the mean time as I said above I do have some stock I can send out to tide you over if you like. Let me know if you want a package. The only charge is for shipping.

Do you have provided pictures of your product?

I am very sorry to hear about your health troubles.  You will be in my thoughts.  I wanted to let you know that I really appreciated your service so far, and I was looking forward to becoming a regular customer.  The product is excellent, and I think it is exactly the type of business that bitcoin is well suited for.

Sorry to hear this. I hope you can get things back to normal soon.

Unfortunately it looks like I will have to shut down operations for a short time due to health issues.

I am still being tested but it is looking more and more like I have multiple sclerosis. It started a couple of weeks ago with terrible back spasms and a few days ago I lost feeling and strength in my legs. I have a couple of tests next week to confirm the diagnosis but my doctor and the neurologist are pretty certain about it being MS. I am stunned but thankful that it isn't something worse like ALS or Parkinsons. 

With the current physical issues and the need for time with my wife and family to sort of regroup and plan for the future I think this is the best thing for right now. I don't have a date for resuming operations in mind but my doctor says the symptoms I have now are not permanent and will come and go from time to time so I do anticipate getting back to business once we get it under control.

In the mean time I need to clear out what I have before the quality begins to decline. I have about ten pounds of House Blend and 4 pounds of Dark Espresso that I will send out and all you have to pay is shipping. People that have ordered from me before get priority and it will be first come first serve after that. I will not pull the escrow funds until the inventory is empty so your shipping costs are still insured. Shipping will take longer than usual because I can't get to the post office right now so I will have to send when our local postman comes each day.

Let me know by private message where you want your coffee sent and I will post a payment address in the thread.

Thanks very much for supporting my business and we will be back up and running as soon as things calm down a bit physically and emotionally here.
 

Happy to help!

You can send .0522 to:

13cvh1H47M3cqQBpaVzsg5XFF8zkshfU4c

I still have your shipping address in my escrow file so I will go ahead and get it ready to go.

Thanks very much!

Edit: Your coffee beans are at the post office. Tracking info sent via pm. Thanks!

I am down to about a third of a bag, so I wouldn't mind ordering another of the house blend.

We are having a sale on our House Blend coffee to clear out our inventory for the new green coffee beans.

It will be priced at for two pounds including shipping.

Once we get switched over to freshly roasted I will update the thread and site with the new prices. In the mean time this sale price will last as long as our inventory does.

Thanks!  

Just updated prices on the site to reflect current BTC prices.

Just a few announcements:



Starting in mid October we will be roasting House Blend beans to order. 

This will make an all ready great coffee even better. Freshly roasted coffee tends to reach peak flavor 48-72 hours after roasting. We ship via priority mail which is a 48-72 hour transit time to anywhere in the US so this works out perfectly. 

Secondly, green beans have a long shelf life. This reduces the price of our finished coffee because we can order in larger quantities and pass on the savings.

I still have some experimenting to do with Kenyan AA but we will be roasting it to order in the near future as well.


We will be rolling out a loyalty program via colored coins through coinprism. With each order you will receive colored coins that can be redeemed for free coffee or discounts toward your next order. When we launch the program we will distribute them retroactively so if you have ordered with us in the past you will have some colored coins com in your way as well.

Thanks!

 



 

Thanks for the update! I use a french press with all of my coffee. It is the only way to really coax out some of the more subtle flavors.

I have several bags of Espresso set aside for you so whenever you are ready to order I can have it in the mail same day.

 

After purchasing 2 lb's of the House Blend (smooth, light, great aroma) Bit Beans Coffee Co. was kind enough to send me a lb of the Dark Espresso to try as I that is my normal roast.

Delicious.  Strong and rich flavor and aroma.  Smells and tastes incredibly fresh.

I brewed it in a french press, water temp 145F, and I am really enjoying my Sunday morning coffee - and I need it due to excessive fun last night!

Thanks and I will be back to buy some in the near future.

I am so glad you are enjoying it! I tend to drink coffee throughout the morning and early afternoon myself. Truly fresh roasted coffee beans turn a routine morning habit into something that is worth taking the time to enjoy.   

We will have some pretty cool announcements coming shortly.

This is a really great value.  Comparable in price to the "warehoused" brand I usually get at the drugstore, whenever it goes on sale.  However, unlike that one, this is really fresh coffee.  With ordinary run of the mill coffee, I generally just have one cup in the morning.  With this coffee, I take a second coffee break early afternoon.  

Just updated the prices on the site. The ones here in the thread are always the most up to date.

Thanks!

We now have our Dark Espresso blend available.

Our Dark Espresso coffee brings a rich and heavy flavor ideal for espresso, iced coffee or as a nice cup of dark roasted 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 dropped your sample in the mail this morning. I will pm your tracking number.

Thanks!

Awesome! I am glad you are enjoying it. Thanks again for your business!

Yes, I have already enjoyed two cups of coffee.   It does have that same delicate aromatic quality I noticed after I roasted some beans in the oven that one time.  It is very good.  Another sign it is very fresh coffee when you use the slow drip method, the coffee really foams up a lot more as you add hot water to it.

I see your package as delivered. When you get a chance can you confirm delivery so I can update the escrow spreadsheet?

Thanks and enjoy!

Sadly you are exactly right with that. Most North American coffee is warehoused for months on end after roasting. The volatile compounds that give freshly roasted coffee such great flavor literally evaporates into the air. It is the same process that happens with fresh spices.

Home roasting can be a challenge. I actually got really serious about coffee when I used an old air popcorn popper to roast some green arabica beans I bought online. I actually managed to get it past the first crack stage before the smoke got too bad. I still roast on small scale in the summer here. Our mountain winters are too tough to do it year round and my wife would probably shoot me if I ever tried it indoors again. 

The bar is set pretty low in most of North America when it comes to the quality of coffee that the average person looks for.  Even more so when it comes to what people brew at home.   One of the best coffee's I've tried was a bag of green beans that I roasted in my kitchen oven at the highest temperature.  Not exactly practical, but it was worth a trying in order to get an idea of how good fresh coffee tastes and smells.  The aroma of freshly roasted coffee is quite different from what we find at the supermarket.  I usually buy Kicking Horse Coffee, easy to find around here (in Canada) and is relatively good for mass market coffee.

I wonder if we can arrange side-by-side taste tests with the Starbucks coffee I'm trying to sell: http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/hsh/4654805206.html

Thanks! We send out really good coffee, but an honest reputation and being a man of my word is equally important. I hope you enjoy the espresso as much as I do.   

I will be happy to ship an order out for you. All of our sales are backed by escrow.

Our House Blend price is .0523

You can send payment to: 1ByrmQc98a9sjF6tST3SBj23DjWZbmkSaE

I can ship it out tomorrow so you should see it by Wednesday or Thursday.

Thanks!

I hope to order some coffee soon. I drink maybe like 4 cups a day, so why not give this a try!

I look forward to the trying the espresso.  You are a man of your word!  You can expect to be supplying me with around 4 lbs of coffee a month...

Thanks for the review! As I recall I promised you a pound of the espresso to try out. I will get that in the mail this week. Thanks!

I will be happy to get a quote for you. Let me know what address you want us to ship to and I will put together a quote for you.

Thanks!

I would like a quote for the EU.

I just got around to trying the coffee - Although different from my usual espresso roasts I do like this blend a lot and I would order again.  The coffee has a very smooth and mild flavor and delicious aroma on opening the bag and grinding.  I look forward to trying the espresso roast soon.

As for the transaction, it was very easy, I received a tracking number within hours of ordering and received the coffee in 2 days or less.

Hi! You are more than welcome to place an order. You can send .053 to 1HLbowL7E3ggTd25BLt59yCzMgudcxbBZN

Shipping is included for US addresses, if you need a quote for international shipping let me know.

If you have questions or anything feel free to contact me here or you can e-mail me at [email protected]

Thanks!

Thank you Sir, I will consider buy now! I dont know for sure yet but I will look on the website, i love coffee

Payment confirmed. Your order will ship out today. I will send you an e-mail with your tracking information as soon as I print the label.

I will add your order to my escrow spreadsheet right away. If you have any issues or questions feel free to get in touch by e-mail or by pm here. 

Thanks so much for your business!

Hello Ron~Popeil, I have sent you a payment for 1 order of House Blend.

Bitcoin transaction number:

Please ship to:

IN EMAIL

Thanks!  

I would be happy to help you out. Our only payment method is bit coin. We don't accept fiat at all. This obviously limits things for us but for me it is an ethical choice.

I would love to tell you that we buy our supplies for bit coin as well but our volume isn't big enough just yet to get our vendors to consider it. Once volume is up I will be in a good position to have that conversation with them. 

What kind of coffee do you normally drink? Our House Blend is a good starting point to try our coffee. It is a medium roast that has gotten a great response so far.

If you want to try the House Blend the price would be .053 and you can send payment to:

Shipping is included in the price so let me know where to send it via pm or e-mail me at [email protected]

Thanks!

Coffee is the only item I have bought with bitcoins on a semi-regular basis since I began earning enough BTC through mining to pay for it.  I had been shopping at a store called Brewcupid.  When I thought about ordering another bag the other day, I noticed that their website was no longer online. Also, they were handling the bitcoin check-out only as a secondary feature to their store, through bitpay, meaning they were probaby not directly involved with using bitcoin. Also, they had no presence on bitcointalk.  So now that I think about it, it would make a lot more sense to support your business, since you are actively involved with the bitcoin, and are communicating with us here on the forum.

Just a quick heads up I am working on the website today so if it looks weird I apologize. The most up to date prices are in the first post of this thread.

Thanks so much for the review! It took a long time to get that blend just right so it is exciting to hear that you enjoyed it so much.

 

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.

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!

Thanks for the update! I know it isn't your usual type of coffee so I appreciate your order very much!

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.

That is an awesome tool! Thank you!

Enjoy! I look forward to you review! Thanks again for your business.

Item received yesterday as ordered.  I will try it this weekend and post a review.

Thanks!

I will ship internationally. Let me know what you would like and I will check pricing to see what we can do.

Thanks!

Does the shipping available internationally?I mean anywhere possibly around the world.Say I wanna send some to someone as a gift who belongs to another country then?

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.     

I am excited to announce the addition of a new coffee bean to our product line.

Kenyan AA

This single origin coffee is designated as AA, Kenya's highest rating for bean size and quality. Grown in the the volcanic soil of Kenya, these beans have a sharp wine like flavor with a distinctive fruity tone to please even the toughest coffee aficionado. These beans are a light to medium roast to bring out subtle flavors.

 

Price: .07 2 lb shipped

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.

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.
