Been a customer for 2+ years and love the service. It's actually helped me figure out what I like in coffee so hopefully this DNA project means I can get even more of those types that I like.
I messed with the survey a bit and noticed what you select from the roasters is what dictates your level. For example, Eight O-Clock coffee gave me the cheapest subscription level while choosing Sightglass gave me the most expensive. I'm curious to know which roasters fall under which model.
Trying to hack it already! J/K. While I think this is a great way to get new customers in the door, I also like the opportunity for existing customers. If I continue to tell CC which of the selections I like, I'd like to get more like those.
Yes, that's a small part of it. If you're currently paying $5 for a bag of coffee, you don't want a $25 super high-end bag. And vice-versa. But that's just a small part. A lot of the magic is in understanding the characteristics of the beans you like and how that relates to other beans. A lot of real science and real tech went into that side and we'll continue to pour resources into it.
Oh no doubt there is more too it, just a quick observation when I got the email about it. As I said in a previous comment, I may resign up. I noticed you added some favorites/ones of interest (Sightglass, Slate, Four Barrel, and Kuma). Is there any way to make recommendations to add/reach out to?
Yup. We love supporting new coffee roasters. roasters at craftcoffee dot com
