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.

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

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.
