Green Coffee Suppliers. The good, the bad and the ugly

[burtonridr]

I'm doing market research and developing my business plan to set up a business that supplies raw green coffee beans to roasters. I would love some input from you about what you like about current suppliers and the things that you wish suppliers would provide for you.

Is a huge selection important? Or just a few choice beans?

How about quantity sizes? 5lb? 10lb? 20lb?

Is it important to have detailed descriptions about the bean you are purchasing?

Is there anything you feel your current supplier could improve upon to make things easier for you?

are you talking about home roasting or larger scale?

I would guess home roasting Topher.... when was the last time you ordered 20lb? 1985? :wink:
