    Hey guys resident coffee nerd here.

    I know that there is a good few of us in here that enjoy a good filter coffee, so i thought what better way to try some coffee roasted in different parts of the world than to do an exchange.

    Basically if your interested put your name down and once we get some numbers i will close the applicants and pair you up with others from the community.

    Please try and make it a locally roasted coffee (Not from Starbucks or a convenient store) preferably from the roaster itself or from a coffee shop serving a local coffee. Wait until you know who your paired with to buy the coffee as if your paired with someone over seas you want it to be a fresh as possible before its mailed.

    PS. Be aware that you may be paired with someone from over seas meaning shipping will be 10-20 dollars but remember you will be getting coffee from them to :)

    Comment here or PM me if you are interested hopefully we can make this a fun experiment

    Good point. I should probably say something roasted in your country or comes from your area ie. California in your case. :)

    Sign me up!! I'm in Camarillo, CA. I know of a local roster "Prospect Coffee Roaster." There's a kendama artist that's affiliated with them. I forget his name, but others might know who I am talking about.

    **UPDATE: the handle of the artist is @iamkevinluong **
