On: Show HN: CaaS - Coffee as a Service

That's because to minimize shipping costs you will get a package of 1kg every second month. Not 500 gram every month.

Thanks for the feedback

Ah thanks, that wasn't clear to me. I thought you just used 1kg as a baseline unit. Since pricing is monthly, I suggested that shipping would be too and thought it was just a weird way to describe 500g :)

using coffee which was roasted over a month ago is probably a deal breaker for a lot of people who would use a service like this. Good examples of coffee websites: www.hasbean.co.uk www.yorkcoffeeemporium.co.uk

That's exactly what I'm trying to test here, if there are people who don't care much about that as far as they get a lower price. Thanks

Another UK competitor is Square Mile coffee, whose subscriptions are separate monthly deliveries of 350g or 500g (http://shop.squaremilecoffee.com/collections/subscriptions).

Oh yeah, I've seen a few places around Shoreditch selling that, its pretty nice. I didn't realise they did subscriptions
